Hey everyone.

Thanks for checking out this site and supporting the National Leukemia and Lymphoma Society this past summer. I made it through the Westchester Triathlon in one piece. Better than that. I beat my finish time goal by 20 minutes. Cool, huh?

So after a couple of months off (I was still running and swimming), I’m back with Team in Training. This time, I’m doubling the distance. I’ve signed up for the Florida Half Ironman Triathlon in Orlando, FL on May 21, 2006.

The distance is a total of 70.3 miles including a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. Am I crazy? Maybe, but it’s all for a good cause and I’ll be in great shape for the summer.

Please help support my training efforts by making a donation to the National Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. As always, it’s tax-deductible. The majority of the proceeds go towards medical research and community programs, which means you’re making a huge difference in the lives of many people.

My first fundraising deadline is February. As always, your contribution is gratefully appreciated.
