Help me become an Ironman
Donation protected
I can't believe we reached the $300 goal so fast! I say we because I couldn't have done it without the support of all of you!
I've had some people message me about donating now that it's full and saying they were waiting until payday. Because of that I've raised the amount. Anything from this point on will be used for tri shoes, aero bars, and a proper bike fitting.
A couple years ago I tore up my ankle and spent a couple months using a wheelchair and crutches, a year later I hurt my back to the point that I couldn't walk, and now I'm here. It was through hard work and the emotional support of my family and friends that I've been able to go this far. Now I have to do what I hate the most and that's ask for monetary support.
In 2014 my goal was to complete a Spartan Trifecta and I'm on pace to do so. By the years end I'll have ran 8 road races, 4 trail races, 5 obstacle races, 1 half-marathon, 1 dualathlon, and 1 triathlon. I've paid registration, gear, and travel for all of these on my own.
In 2015 I want to become an Ironman 70.3.
I hate asking people for money but I do need help in paying for registration. I will be buying clip on aero bars for my road bike and borrowing a wetsuit so as to save money but I still need help as my extra money is being spent on training for this. I know I won't be setting any records but my goal is to just finish strong.
My deadline for the $250 registration is 12-31-14 and then the price goes up. I appreciate any help and any ammount will help me reach my goal.
(I was informed by someone that after this site takes their cut and the taxes/fees of registration that I need to up my goal by $50. This is why it is higher than the $250 starting fee)
