Comments: Wow, what can I say? I did it. Finished a HIM in my "second season" - although my first season, I only did 1 sprint.. so I was happy. I was down about the crash, but in the end I was just happy to be able to get back on and keep moving it made it all worth it. The next day, I felt like I fell out of a tree. I'm pretty banged up - nothing a little time and advil can't fix. What a day - I guess this is what Ironman is all about. 3rd marathon in Jan coming up... and can't wait for next season! What a season.. I love this sport.

Comments: Going into the race I really thought I would be around 6:40 total time. After a good swim and faster than I expected bike I really thought i could get 6:30. After the first 6.5 loop I was on target time, but knew I couldn't keep the pace to get 6:30. Happy with my performance, will learn for the next one and continue to improve. I had fun, appreciated all the support and thanked many volunteers & police out on the roads. Oh & I had Snowgirl and Luv2ride on the bike and they kept me going. If I started to slow...I'd say "Come on Pansy" you can do this. (Hee,Hee). On the run I had Waterdog, RNC & Enginerd but after the halfway point I had to tell them to go ahead without me...as I was havig problems...they would never leave me if they were pacing me for real, but today I insisted they go on. Thanks to all! You BTers were all in my thoughts throughout the day.

Comments: My first HIM!!!! This is an amazing event and a great experience. I am very proud of how far I have come. It was amazing to see all of the people on the course and thinking about how I am now one of them. What made the whole day worth it was getting to celebrate with Madison and Cindy just before the shoot. Having my daughter there made this one of the most memorable moments of my life and so very rewarding. We got a picture taken of me running with Cindy and Madison at mile 13. I must have looked like crap, but I don't care, that photo will be one of my prized possessions. So many times, I have see the IM and HIM finishers on tape celebrating with their small children and today I got the chance to do it. I almost started crying every time I thought of her and thought of being able to share this moment with her. My lifelong goal is to be her hero and today, I felt like I was. I am a Half-IronMan!!
