My Ironman Journey.

I've created this blog to track my experience, training, and thoughts throughout the process. Feel free to learn about me, follow along, and support the process. I do not expect anyone to find this blog, so feel free to let me know if you do.

Links to my Instagram, Strava, and Zwift profiles are above :)

About Me

Let's start with the basics. My name is Artis and I am 30 years old, with a love for sports, outdoors, travel, and gaming. I grew up in Georgia, USA, and have since lived in 4 different states and 2 countries. I have a black miniature schnauzer named Parker, who has traveled the world and is full of energy!

My athletic background consists of playing soccer, baseball, and basketball for decades. I ran cross-country in high school with two top-10 state finishes and a PR in the 5K of 15:39. At one point 10 years ago, I wanted to achieve the sub-4-minute mile (it never happened). The only distance run I have ever completed is the Athens Marathon in Greece in 2017.

Note that we are beginners and just wanted to be a part of something. It's fun to be a part of a community.
