Entry

Dear Richard, Congratulations! You are now registered for 2010 Ford Ironman Florida. http://www.ironmanflorida.com/ Thank you and good luck!

Well I am in. After months of umm-ing & arr-ing I have done it.  At 6pm BST when the entry opened I had my finger on the button and my place in IM Florida was confirmed. Two hours later and the 2,500 places were all sold out.

It's funny how you only realise what you have let yourself in for once you have committed.  The prospect of a 2.4mile swim or a marathon after said swim and a long ride seems a very daunting prospect.  But perhaps that is what makes it the challenge that I so relish.

What I do know is that I can't leave the training until next year.  The plan is to start very soon...
