Welcome to TriTheDream.com and thank you for stopping by. Lots of things are in store for this site, and the physical endeavor it will represent. This site was born from a dream; a dream that has been making its way in and out of my mind for a number of years. Emerging from disappointment, hope, desire, regret, and a myriad of other emotions that pick up steam with each passing. I now find myself at an age that I either dive in with all I have and chase the seemingly impossible, or step aside and allow the possibility to die, sure to take a part of me with it.
My decision is obvious by the emergence of this site. Sinking comfortably into my current lifestyle will have to wait as I embark on a task that is sure to illicit every facet of discomfort possible. Two, and only two outcomes will be acceptable. I will either achieve what I have set out to complete, or, I will be defeated knowing that I devoted every ounce I had to the effort. You are hopefully wondering what I am about to launch myself into, what exactly this dream I speak of represents. I long to be an endurance athlete and want to see what I am truly capable of. I have just finished my second marathon and my training for both was that of a part time hobbyist; far from that of a serious athlete. I want to know what I can accomplish if I were to train like a serious athlete.
Trying to couple my propensity to dream with my inner realist has led me to the conclusion that standing out as a marathoner is not within reach, even for a dreamer. Therefore, I have chosen to chase something different; Ironman Triathlons. A colossal event where I believe my natural talents will be better served. With that said, I have my mind set on qualifying for the 2011 Ironman World Championships.
Though this site will give a genuine, raw account of this quest, it will be about more than that. It will be about the pursuit of dreams; mine, and of others. It will be about the passion and determination it takes to be an endurance athlete. It will be about making the most of this life we have been given. Please come back as the site grows and spread the word to others who may be interested in the content.
