2015 in review

It's finally here - the Iron year!

2016 is the here, and I'm officially signed up for the Ironman Wisconsin on Sep 11. I've neglected this blog for a year, so before I start whining about how hard the training is, and how excited I am about my new gear, lets do a 2015 race review.

• 2/22 - Hustle up the Hancock - 94 stories of fun! This is one of this "Why did I do it? Because it's there!" kind of things.

• 4/25 - Race to Wrigley - Finished this 5k in 20:33 (6:38 mile). I didn't crack 20 min like a wanted, but still, thats pretty damn fast for me!

• 5/21 - JP Morgan Corp Challenge - 3.5 miles in 22:39. Thats a 6:29 mile. Getting faster!

• 5/17 - Chicago Spring Half Marathon - I bought a red shirt to match my 666 bib number. Finished with a 1:34:00 (7:11 mile). It was a solid run, and I was happy with it

• 9/27 - Chicago Half Marathon - I ran like the freaking wind!!! Crushed my goal with a 1:28:49 (6:47 mile). Also, I received that largest metal known to man.

• 10/11 - Chicago Marathon - I've never been so upset about a PR. Ran a 3:13:38 (7:24 mile) when I needed a 3:10 to qualify for Boston. It all fell apart in the last 5 miles, and I lost 2 toenails to boot. The quest for Boston continues...

I leave you with a pic of that ridiculous medal from the half
