First Blog Post of my Triathlon career.

Hey all,
My name is Paul Eicher and I am a young up and comming triathlete from Cross Plains Wisconsin.  I have now competed in 8 triathlons "2 Ironmans, 4 half IM."  To me this sport is all about, HAVING FUN, competing, pushing yourself to the limits and most of all Giving The Glory To God "GTGTG."  A quick list of triathlon events up to this point is this, I competed in Cross Country, Swimming, and Track in High School, I quickly realized that I should just add a bike and do some Triathlons.  My dream goal ever since I could remember was to do a Ironman, so the summer after my senior year I did the Ford Ironman Wisconsin (Home Town).  Every second of that day was AMAZING and quickly realized that this sport was going to be with me for a LONG time.  That winter I herd of a team called GEARGRINDERS (based out of Milwaukee) and ended up racing for them all this year.  They put faith in me before any one else did and helped me out a LOT, and am more thankfull then I can put into words.  With the help of GG this summer I was able to compete in the sport I love so much.  Ended up doing 1 half marathon, 2 duathlons, 2 (not true) olympic distance races, 3 halfs, and one more Ironman.  Also qualified for the 70.3 World Championships in Clearwater Florida this November.  Throughout this summers journey I really got involved with the sport.  Started working at Endurance House (Triathlon store,) volunteered at races, meet lots of people in the sport, got aother part sponsorship from Peak Performance Massage (Legs Love). Then at the end of the summer I started working with one of the best triathlon coaches Mike P from YourTrainingZones, who I believe can really bring out my full potential and so excited for that.  Well I still have a lot more to say but I promised to try and keep this short.  Thanks so much for your time, Keep on moving, GTGTG PJE
