Well here it is. This link will let you see my oficial registration to the San Juan 70.3 Ironman in March. I held up as long as I could because franqly I still have my doubts about weather I can make it or not. I am not a pesimist but perhaps a realist. I am very happy with my training and what I have achieved up to know. I don't know if I will make it or not and even if I will make the full at Canada or not. All I know is that I am giving my best and what my body can tolerate without getting injured. In the end I hope it is enough for me. I have trained hard and will continue. I get amazed every day on the milestones I reach and I remain very positive. I will have the attitude of champion and resolve of a soldier on a mission, I will not quit even if I fail. I am doing this for me, to be an example for thoose of you who had past similar obstacles, and to be a hero to my kids. I am doing this for my wife, to show her that there is no obstacle big enough to stop us and that with her by my side I can do anything. Finally, for a little girl whoose inspiration has made me a much better person. My coach has done an extraordinary job on training a 270lbs man for an event like this. A man with no excercise for the past 20 years, whoose diet was mainly Coca Cola, Ice Cream, and ham and cheese sandwiches. You know maybe Coach K is a good coach and maybe he is not. As far as my son Jochi and my daughter Gabriela goes their numbers will always speak for their training and their coach. So far they are remarkable. As far as for myself well Coach K should be ready to greet most of his athletes at the finih line somewhere at about 6:00 hours. However he wil probably see the end of the race as I will probably arrive with the last of the competitors. That is Ok, I do not pretend anything more. In the end I will be his most memorable athlete. I would be the one he transformed from a "Couch Bum" to an Ironman Athlete.
