Fresh start at blogging!

I haven't blogged in quite a while...even though I have trained and completed over 20 half marathons and 2 half Ironman triathlons! I have really taken to the tri! I love the feeling of crossing the finish line - it really make me feel like an athlete! So, right now I am nursing my back a bit...and as soon as it is better I am back in the water, saddle and running shoes getting ready for my first full Ironman Arizona 2014! and they are giving away a great waterproof iPod shuffle http://www.underwateraudio.com/waterproof-ipod-shuffle.html
and all the goodies! I WOULD SO LOVE THAT!!!! It would be a great birthday gift...it's April 1 (no joke!)
So here are my answers to their questions...
1) How did you find out about Underwater Audio's Waterproof iPod? I was searching on the internet for some type of waterproof audio that I could use to train as I love the pool but find it so boring. Underwater Audio was the best that I found!
2) How do you think our waterproof iPod could improve your performance/motivation? I would use it to motivate me with a training coach right there in my ear and add in some of my favorite tunes to help me pick up the pace! For so long I trained with Team in Training and now that I am learning to train on my own that little extra coaching would be a real help!
3) Why do you want Underwater Audio's Waterproof iPod, not one from another company? When I shop for any product, I do a ton of research I check prices, quality and customer reviews and Underwater Audio without a doubt has the best of all!! I really hate wasting money on products that don't do what they are advertised to do!! This iPod setup really gets all "A"s.
4) Is there anything else you want to tell us to convince us of your need? I did not start my journey into endurance sports until I was 40, and before that I was not an athlete! I started this adventure by running my first marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and trained with Team in Training for 4 separate events and raised over 12,000. Team introduced me to triathlon and I loved it. I had found my niche! During training for my first triathlon event I was diagnosed with a small brain tumor, it thankfully has been managed with medication but made for a very scary time and training helped to take my mind off my own issues. I have now done two 70.3 half Ironman events and have my 3rd on the horizon. I have a wonderful and supportive husband and family who have indulged my very expensive hobby with new bikes, trainers, shoes, clothes and all the other necessary items as well as all the event fees - it all adds up. I really would love an Underwater Audio iPod but have had a hard time justifying a "new iPod" when I already stretch my family's budget! It would be an awesome gift and I would use it daily!!! Thanks in advance!!!
