IM Texas

I registered for IM Texas yesterday.  I'm very excited.  I believe the long course is where my strengths truly shine through.  I have so many goals for this race, it's ridiculous.  Of course I will share them here, since I am the only one who reads this, and I am prone to forget things form time to time.

1.  Qualify for Kona 2012
2.  Race sub 9 hours  -- this may prove difficult based on the weather conditions, but I want to put myself in a position to be able to do it in Kona, so I'd better try and get close here
3.   First amateur finisher
4.  Sub 3 hour marathon

I want number one at all costs.  Numbers 2-4 would be icing on the cake, but I believe with the correct preparation, focus, and toughness, they are all possible.
