Extreme Veteran  475   Tampa, FL |  Subject: Kona Ironman World Championship Broadcast Re-air SundayJust saw this on the Ironman website. I know people ocassionally post on here asking about triathlons being aired on TV. Can't wait to watch this on the big screen. I can only hope that NBC is showing it in HD. Ford Ironman World Championship Broadcast Re-air Sunday “Ironman is full of inspirational stories, but there is one particular story I wish to share with you tonight. In 2005, an athlete suffering from ALS completed the Ford Ironman World Championship and that athlete returned to Hawaii in 2006 in a wheelchair as a spectator. I’d like to dedicate this year’s Emmy to the Blazeman (Jon Blais) and his family,” said Ironman’s Executive Television Producer, Peter Henning, during his Emmy acceptance speech. In addition to the exciting race coverage that included one of the closest men’s finishes in Ironman history and Michellie Jones’ first Ironman win, the show highlighted a variety of athletes who demonstrate the Ironman mantra, “Anything Is Possible,” including Captain David Rozelle, a below-the-knee amputee who returned to active duty, David Samson, President of the Florida Marlins Major League Baseball Team and Sister Madonna Buder, the oldest female finisher of the Ford Ironman World Championship.

Time to break out the ole VHS? Do they even make blank video tapes any more? Actually, now that I don't have cable, I can't even get in NBC, so it's a loss for me... |

Extreme Veteran 790 Rocklin | Subject: RE: Kona Ironman World Championship Broadcast Re-air Sunday I watched it when it was first broadcast, and the story on the ALS athlete was just incredibly humbling. It's truly amazing how this sport can create such amazing storylines (i.e. the Hoyts, the thread about Deanna, etc.). I'm very proud to call myelf a triathlete (even though I've only done two) just to be associated with so many great people and stories. |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: Kona Ironman World Championship Broadcast Re-air Sunday Considering how much I've followed John Blais and how we came to triathlon for similar reasons at about the same time (not comparing the seriousness of mine to his, just the mindset) and where Blazeman is now this is going to be very difficult to watch. Edited to add: I know this goes for a lot of us. JB was a very popular figure and a lot of us connected with his story. Watching this "average joe" do his best to get through Kona in 05 was mesmerizing. What he accomplished with the few years of life he had remaining was nothing short of amazing.

Possibly one of the best produced sporting events I've ever seen...I was a little surprised by the "sponsor awards" near the end of the broadcast basically telling you how people placed before it was shown...but I already knew who did what. Good luck in Madison. I hear it's a great place to race. Enjoy the week and start getting ready for next year! |

Expert 902 Wylie, TX | Subject: RE: Kona Ironman World Championship Broadcast Re-air Sunday Man, I am a total sap for these shows. Out of the 2 hr broadcast, I spent at least 1 1/2 hrs with tears in my eyes. |

Champion 5529 Nashville, TN | Subject: RE: Kona Ironman World Championship Broadcast Re-air Sunday Despite watching it last year, rewatching it on tivo and watching it yesterday, I continue to well up. I am thankful for all the commercials. They seem to hit at the moment where you need it the most. |

Extreme Veteran 405 | Subject: RE: Kona Ironman World Championship Broadcast Re-air Sunday Well I had told my wife that I wanted to make sure we were home so I could watch it yesterday. She looked at me funny when I told her I wanted to watch the show, but then her and my Mom both happen to sit down for a "few minutes" to see what it was all about. Neither of them moved for the entire 2 hour show and both were crying during the entire show.  It was a fantastic show and the stories of the folks participating were amazing. I loved hearing about the regular folks like me as much as I enjoyed watching the pros race even though I already knew who won. |

It seems to work, but I am going to try it at work today as well. Pm me if you're still looking for a copy. |
