Ironman Wisconsin

YES, I'M an IRONMAN.

Just a little quick note. It was a VERY tough day. Rain, cold, & the wind. Hypothermia in the air. But I somehow made it through the day in 14:51. It was a tough DAY for everybody.

Thanks for my Tri Club friends to seeing me finish, braving all the elements with the rest of us made the day special.

THANK YOU!!

My main objective was to run across the finish line with my wife and kid.

Objective completed.

That was so special for me, along with all the people I met this weekend. And to all the people who have read my blog and shared this journey with me.

THANK YOU!!

TRisaratops, TRIAL, and IRONWILL. I had a great time hanging around all of you this weekend and doing the IRONMAN with you.

To them, I say THANKYOU!!

I will write a more detailed race report later. Time to go register for Ironman Wisconsin 2007.

RBR, "YOU ARE AN IRONMAN". I've been reading your blog, since I recently had hernia surgery and was wondering how you would do. You rocked the race, especially considering those conditions. In some way you inspired me and I registered for IMMoo '07.

I wish you a speedy recovery after your surgery.

Peace,
Rob

Nice job getting through everything to become an Ironman!!! Glad to finally meet you. Wish I could have ran into you somewhere on Sunday. Can't wait to follow your trek to '07 IM WI. Now take care of that hernia.
