2012 Challenge

Last day at Disney with son and now let the year begin. I hear I may not be the only attempting a record this year for number of ironman. All I can say is that badgers are pretty vicious when cornered.
The cause will benefit either way and Code 3 for a Cure is the meaning for the mission this year.

Training in sunny Florida
