Dear Rachel,

My friend Zack has an every day blog as well. His theme is IRONMAN training. However, he has only updated his blog 7 times in the last month. How does he expect to win with that sort of training ethic? I have no idea. I have been swimming, lifting weights, playing soccer, playing basketball, rock climbing and running barefoot for my training.

I've probably never told you about the IRONMAN. The IRONMAN is the most important day of the year, in which my friends and I get together and play sports all day and crown a winner at the end of the day. The winner then keeps the "IRONMAN CHAMPION" trophy for a year, until it comes time to defend that trophy the following summer.

I own the titles IRONMAN I and IRONMAN VI. Last summer was the 6th IRONMAN, making me the current IRONMAN and the only two-time winner. Thus it is up to me to defend my title this summer. I'm not too worried about it. I don't really expect to win, no one has ever defended their IRONMAN title. In fact, the defending champion usually has a pretty tough day as everyone is gunning for them. I am just going to try not to get as tired/hurt/sick as last year so I can fully enjoy the post-IRONMAN festivities.

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
