Dear Sarah,
Congratulations! You are now registered for 2011 Ford Ironman Arizona. Please check the event's official website for updates: http://www.ironmanarizona.com/
The race barely made it to online registration, and then sold out in 31 minutes. It took me over 5 minutes of reloading the page over and over again before I was able to get through. Based on informal polling of the interwebs, some people kept getting error messages and never got in. Just another thing to be thankful for this week!
I'm racing Ironman Coeur d'Alene in June for the American Cancer Society. Donations can be made here. I will also be fundraising for Ironman Arizona, but for a different cause. Last week a family member was diagnosed with ALS. I thought of Jon Blais at the 2005 Ironman World Championships. He completed the race that year. In 2006 he came back, but this time as a spectator in a wheelchair. In 2007 he was gone. As soon as I get registered with Team Blazeman, I'll post details here.
"Live, more than your neighbors. Unleash yourself upon the world and go places. Go now. Giggle. No. Laugh. And bark at the moon like the wild dog that you are. Understand that this is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. Your life. Face your fears and live your dreams and take it all in. Yes, every chance you get. Come close. And by all means, whatever you do, get it on film." ~ Jon Blais

Congrats on signing up! I went back and forth but the decision was ultimately made by lack of money, LOL. I'll be back down voluneering at IMAZ again in 2011, so hopefully I;ll see you. I did gear bags on sunday and it was a blast! :-)
