Houston Ironman

I've never been to an Ironman race.

Not a full length one. I have watched many on tv, but now Houston is getting a full fledged Ironman! Registration started yesterday (and likely filled up the same day) for Houston's first full length Ironman. It will be held Saturday (!) May 21, 2011, in the Woodlands. The race will be a 2.4 mile swim / 112 mile bike / 26.2 mile run. I am happy to hear that it is on a Saturday. I sure hope they keep it that way for the years to come. My husband has long wanted to do an Ironman and has looked for a Saturday race. He won't be ready by May, but maybe in another year or two…

That I'd like to see.
