About

  • Ironman Difference was originally a site that showed how training for and competing in an Ironman Triathlon could change the lives of many. My name is Brian Hock and I completed the Ford Ironman Triathlon in Couer d’Alene, Idaho on June 22, 2008.

    I rasied over $58,000 for Winners Walk Tall.
    This blog documented everything involved in the life of a first-time Ironman athlete and the incredible event itself.

    It now documents all my running efforts as well as an upcoming second Ironman - Louisville in August of 2010.

Winners Walk Tall


  • Winners Walk Tall is a character-building program that helps our youth develop the confidence they need to learn to make good choices as they mature in life. The only community-based program of its kind, this unique program provides a positive alternative to the problems students are facing.

Team


  • My wife Kristin for being supportive and extremely knowledgable about nutrition. My son Braden for just being him (and making me run extra laps when I get home every night). And Brianne for simply being Brianne.

  • Guy Karrick is a boston marathon qualifier and motivator when it comes to running. His sister is a multiple Ironman finisher and a wealth of knowledge.

  • Jim McMahon is one of my running partners.

  • Jed Davis is a key motivator and supporter of this and all my efforts.

Pushing it.

I've had a few good quality workouts this week. An 18 mile run on Sunday and a 10 mile uptempo run on Wednesday night and both had me feeling it the next day. The most satisfying run this week happened today when I was able to run with my daughter for the first time since she was born. I pushed her for 2 miles on what was an absolute beautiful day. It was a slow and easy recovery run after the 10 miler yesterday, but it's always awkward to push a stroller after having not done it for a while. It was a bit of a process to get the tires pumped, baby completely ready, water, photo and other stuff before leaving but was well worth it. Below is a picture of Brianne before the run (happy and excited to go) and after the run (tired from getting pushed).

What a doll! I notice the hat was ditched at some point. My kids would never leave them on.
