My name is Mark Weber, I am a 28-year-old firefighter from Greenville, SC and I have taken on the challenge to become an Ironman. I've embarked on this immense undertaking as a tribute to the most incredible person I ever knew, my Dad. Over the next year I will share my experiences, training sessions, fundraising efforts, and thoughts about the goal of becoming an Ironman. I've created this blog to chronicle my journey towards the finish line in Louisville, Kentucky in August of 2014.

Becoming an Ironman is a long arduous journey filled with many roadblocks and obstacles along the way. Preparation for the most demanding athletic event known to man will test me beyond anything I've ever experienced. 2.5 miles of open water swimming, 112 miles of back breaking cycling, and 26.2 of pure running stand between me and the title of Ironman. I am Strong As Iron and I am ready for the challenge.

8 Months & Counting

This morning marks exactly the 8 month point til the gun is fired on the banks of the Ohio River to kick off Ironman Louisville. Christmas is tomorrow and lots of family time and joy is in store for me, and I plan to enjoy as much of the holiday as I can before I begin my training next month. The thought of IM Louisville is always lingering in the back of my mind and I'd like to share a highlight video recapping this past years event. The video is about 10 minutes and truly inspirational. Check it out and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
