Back in the Ironman game

It's almost been a year since I've posted anything here. It's been a down year in terms of the amount of racing I've done but that has been very intentional. Lots has gone on this year, mostly all good, but Ironman was not on the table as a result. I'm back in for 2012 and have my sights on Kona again. We're less than 2 weeks away from this event and I have an empty feeling inside because I won't be there. Stupid I know, but that's where I'm at. I'll start writing a bit more and give a 2011 recap.
