Bound for Kona

I am preparing to compete in the 2009 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii on October 10, 2009 I won one of the lottery slots offered each year to give 150 regular folks with more luck than sense a once in a lifetime chance to compete with the world triathlon elite. I will swim 2.4 miles in the ocean, ride 112 miles and then complete a full 26.2 mile marathon. I am using this opportunity to raise money for research to find a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
