Welcome to my life. Come right in, we've got a lot to talk about.

Hi Everyone!
My name is Matt Curbeau and I am 23 years old. I currently work for a big four Accounting firm in Upstate NY and will be a full fledged CPA this Spring when my hour requirements are met. However, Accounting is just my day job. Just like Clark Kent, my day job is not who I am, I am and a Triathlete..or at least for now, an aspiring one.
Why the name 4:30 Triathlon? Simple. This is when I wake up most every morning. I wake up because I have fallen in love with the sport of Triathlon. I wake up because not many other people are up. I wake up because it is going to make me faster. I wake up because I can't wait to ride my bike. I wake up because every day in the pool makes me sooo much quicker! I wake up this early because that's what you need to do if you every want to compete on the Big Island...and I sure do! I wake up because I know how it feels when you finish a race with your family and friends cheering you on. (If you've never had that experience...immediately sign up for some sort of competition...5k or whatever, I guarantee when you finish you will have a better high than any drug will every give you....and its completely free, minus entry fees and travel expenses...but we will save those rants for another time)...and I could go on and on about why I am waking up at 4:30 every morning but the long and short of it is that I am dedicated to this sport and more importantly to myself. I know that I am a complete newbie but I just can't get enough!
What can you expect from me? I am going to do my best to post every day when I wake up.I will keep a running list of my upcoming races and results.I will talk about my favorite triathlon gear! (This is probably my favorite subject, and I am sure most triathletes will agree. Getting the latest, the coolest, the lightest stuff is basically a prerequisite to the sport of Triathlon)

I will basically lead you through the life of an aspiring triathlete...I know your excited, but please sit back down and stop cheering...we've got a LONG way to go.

-Matt
