I'm a retired banker. I did duathlons until about 7-8 years ago, but stopped for the reasons I discuss below under "Goals and Results". My son did the half marathon at the Des Moines Marathon in 2007. That was my motivation to start running again. I'm not fast, but I get there.
I had a heart rate problem that had kept me from doing more than walking or brief jogging. A pacemaker implant in 10/07 fixed the problem. I ran Dam To Dam in May 2009 and did the Des Moines half marathon in October in 2:18.
