Iron-April 2009 (Invitation to 2nd timers)

“Swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles. . . brag for the rest of your life”
- John Collins (founder of the Ironman triathlon)

Are you ready to take on Iron-April 2009?

This email is only going out to the athletes that completed Iron-April 2008. First, let me congratulate you again on your accomplishment last year. You made the commitment, massaged your schedules, trained hard, shared your stories, finished strong, and inspired other athletes.

It is time to make that commitment again, but the challenge will be more difficult this year for 2nd timers. . .

There will be no mile sharing for athletes who participated in Iron-April 2008. You can still team up and report team miles, but your mileage at midnight on April 30th, 2009 will be your final mileage for the event.

Newbies for this season will still be able to participate in mile sharing.

You all know the event, but here it is in a nutshell –

1. www.kevinhaugh.blogspot.com (go here on April 1st to report your miles)
2. click your name to view your webpage
3. click ‘comment’ to report your training
4. please provide a weekly summary for me and I’ll post weekly recaps
5. my email address is kevin.haugh@gmail.com

Good luck!!!

You’ll be receiving an updated full event description later today. Please forward the email to anyone interested in giving it a go. I’d love to see some new athletes participate in Iron-April 2009.

Kev.
