Team In Training IronTeam - IRONMAN Louisville 2010
Last year (2009) was a whirlwind with lots of amazing events occuring in our lives. I completed my 3rd marathon at the Houston Marathon in January. My now husband, David, was accepted to UCSF's residency program, one of the best internal medicine programs in the country, in March. He came out to San Francisco on May 1st to find us a place to live while I was enjoying my bachelorette party with wonderful friends. He graduated from medical school on May 9th. We got married on May 24th, went on a wonderful honeymoon in Mexico, and moved to San Francisco at the beginning of June. I finally graduated with my master's degree in exercise and sports nutrition in August, and I joined Team In Training's IronTeam in October to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! In addition, I completed my 4th marathon at the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. alongside both of my brothers, Mike and Eric Helton.
As part of my new year's resolution to dedicate myself to training and fundraising, I've decided to document my journey on my first ever blog. I completed my first ever olympic distance triathlon at the Nation's Triathlon in Washington, D.C. with Team In Training. An IRONMAN, however, is 4 times that distance and requires much more training and fundraising. The official event, IRONMAN Louisville is on August 29th, 2010. I have 8 months and $6810 out of my $7900 fundraising minimum left to go. I have a feeling that 2010 is going to be a great year!
