Happy training folks 

Joseph Gaglio

Hello everyone! This is Joe Gaglio, resident of Clarkston, MI. Muncie will be my first 70.3 race and I'm excited and ready for the challenge. Together with 7 other friends in our neighborhood we are all racing in support of our fellow neighbor, friend and two-time cancer (nasal and brain) survivor Rob Atteberry. He's the toughest and kindest guy I know. When you hear "GO!GO!GO", which remains Rob's motto through tough times and his message of encouragement for other athletes, you'll know he's close by. I look forward to meeting each of you and supporting your success on race day.

Joe Ryan

Joseph, thanks for sharing your story about Rob!  I look forward to meeting some of my "teammates" at the race.  I too am a first timer for an Ironman distance.  I live between Cincinnati and Dayton.  I got butterflies when I formally registered last week. lol     I haven't booked lodging in Muncie yet, anyone else booked?   GOGOGO!

Brenda Ross

What a great reason to race Joe. I am excited for both you. Keep the chatter going in this forum throughout your training just like the folks did in OS, and you will feel like you know each other when race day comes.  

Joseph Gaglio

Thanks Joe and Brenda for the kind words. Joe, we have a large group staying at the Courtyard by Marriott near Horizon Convention Center. Look forward to meet you...I'm a U of Cincinnati alum! Small world.
