Ironman Texas Tracking

For those of you that are looking to follow me on Saturday, here are a few ways of doing so:

Example of a My Athlete Live Shadow
Option 1:  The coolest way that you can track me is through the My Athlete Live Shadow tracking.  I will be wearing a small cellular box called a shadow on the course that will track the bike and the run portion (Sorry folks they told me not to wear it during the swim.  It should be a lot of fun, and if you see the little dot stop, send an ambulance:

Option 2:  You can also go to www.ironmanlive.com.  This is where you can see the coverage of the interviews, and when I cross over a timing mat.  It is not as fancy, but in case of bad cell coverage, that is going to be choice two.  I am also sure you can watch the event live.  Make sure to tune in around 9:00pm CST and after.  That is about when I should be finishing.

Option 3: I will be tweeting before the race, and the Shawn's Anomaly associate director, Veronica, will be tweeting during the event, so keep an eye out for the updates at www.twitter.com/shawnsironman.  If you have a twitter account, follow us and RT all of those tweets to your followers.

Option 4: Being at the event is the ultimate way to see, smell, and feel everything.  Of course if you can choose this option, I can track you too.

Whatever option that you choose, I want to thank you in advance for following me.  This has been 2 years in the making and to know that I will be done on May 19th around 9:00 is very humbling and overwhelming.  You support has got me to where I am.
