I'm dying to do an Ironman. I've only done two tri's (a sprint and an Xterra) so I'm not a tri veteran by any means. Right now, I know I don't have the time to commit to training for a full Ironman, but I'd really like to go for a 1/2 next year.

DH doesn't want me to. He thinks my body isn't built to handle that kind of stress. I know where he's coming from . . . I've had some health issues for a long time but they were always misdiagnosed. Now I think we've gotten things under control and I'm starting to feel better than I've felt in ages. DH remains skeptical . . .

I'm frustrated. I want so badly to do this but I really want DH's support. I know he's just looking out for my health, but I think he's wrong. I think I can do it.
