wet suits (for age groupers) add bouancy and function as such... while pros can only wear speedsuits (minimum bouancy)

if you want some inspiration. one of my coworkers who i played soccer with took the last year training for the louisville ironman. he was doing it as a fundraiser for a scholarship he founded in honor of his best friend jared who died a few years ago in a car accident. the scholarship was founded around friendship and is not awarded based on academic merit. here is his blog entry from shortly after completing it

I would think Ironman Wi would be a bit different, such as beer drinking and keg tossing... Oh well
