Life is really too Short sometimes!!

In 2006, Michelle and me completed our 1st IM on the hills of Wisconsin.

Today my IronFriend lost her battle with Cancer.

I will remember seeing her on the IMWI bike course during the race, passing each other several times on the course. Battling through the wind, rain, and cold that day!! With a smile on her face she finished.

That is how I will remember her.

Rest in Peace, you will be missed.

She is your beautiful angel and will always watch over you - so you better never give up on the hills when you are on your bike :) She'll be watching you...

Hi Dennis - I am sorry to hear about your friend. I haven't blogged in ages and just popped into yours. I hope you are well otherwise.
Take care, friend.
