Coincidentally, the very first post of my own blog centered around Scott's Nation's Triathlon effort in Washington DC a little over a year ago. I thought perhaps it might be interesting to take a look back at that and subsequent posts that got us to where we are today.
Keep in mind, these are purely from a spectator point of view. In the future I plan on doing occasional mini-interviews with Scott, which I will then twist around to my own satisfaction. So, for those of you that have the time and inclination...

Work In Progress - by The Wife
After Scott completed the Half-Rev3 Cedar Point triathlon, there were a lot of responses from our friends and family along the following lines..."That's amazing...so you're done, right?"
Meaning, that they felt he had reached his goal. Because to most of us, a 70.3 mile endeavor, seems like quite an accomplishment. About 70.2 miles longer than I would be willing to attempt myself. So safe to say...an accomplishment that one would be crazy to try to top.
But that's not Scott. There is still that ironman distance of 140.6 miles out there. It's like asking a person who just got to K2 if they are done climbing when the goal is the summit of Mt. Everest.
So...this blog is dedicated to that journey...the Mt. Everest of triathlons...at least officially. I suppose someone could invent a longer one, but don't give Scott any ideas.
In part, this blog is to track his training, which I'm sure fellow enthusiasts will enjoy, but to the rest of us it will be more like..., "He ran how far, at what time in the morning? WTF?" It's also so you can check out the races he will be running leading up (and let's face it, after) the ironman. And finally, he's allowing me to give color commentary on the journey...which will probably be a lot of "He ran that far, at that time in the morning! WTF!"
A little clarification...the "ironman" distance is so named for the racing group that started it..."Ironman". Scott is going to run the Rev3 circuit, so you'll often see it referred to as the Full-Rev, but until I'm told not to (I'll get to that), I'll call it the ironman with a lower case "i".
And this is the part I'm getting to...Scott's also trying to become a part of the Trakkers team, which he will be applying for very shortly (read: today). Trakkers is a real-time, GPS tracking device and you can view their website here. Trakkers is affiliated with the Rev3 racing group and you can view their website here.
So keep your fingers crossed that you'll see a lot more advertising for them on our blog in the near future. We are also currently designing a t-shirt logo, and depending on his sponsorship status, we'll release it to the public as soon as possible, because we know you'll want one. All the cool kids will be wearing them before they jump off a bridge.
