I want to thank all of you SO MUCH for supporting my wife in this endeavor. I am so proud of her accomplishment, and I know that she could not have done it without the amazing help that you have offered her. It means a lot to me that so many of you helped her get through her training, cheered for her on race day, and have offered such heartfelt congratulations on her race. It means a lot to her, too.

Again, thanks.

Ok..this just made me misty...

KACIE!!!!!!

That's AMAZING!!!! Congrats!!! You SLAMMED the bike section! You're a monster, and I'm just so happy for you!!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're an inspiration - I can't run, haven't swam competitively since high school, but you make me want to try one too!

Thank you!!!

Gwdiv--thank YOU!!!! I would not have even started ANY of this if you did not believe in me!


Pedal--maybe I can join you ladies for a Wednesday night ride sometime, since my schedule has cleared up!

I get to have dinner tonight with my coach, and I will let you know what we decide about the 2011 season when I return. I have some plans, but it is generally his job to reign in my crazy ideas!

Just registered for IM St. George........ May 2011........oh-my-gosh.........

Woohoo!! How exciting and great that it is in May. My husband and I were hoping we could get into Coeur d'Alene just because it is earlier in the year and wouldn't chew up the whole summer. When will you get back to a reg training schedule- are you taking any real time off or just right back on it?

My husband has a cold now I think I will start getting back to things easily this weekend- no heavy training or anything- I have to try to to keep eating soo much now that my activity has gone way way down! I think it might be easier to just keep training:)

I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face through a beaming smile..What a beuuuuutiful memory that video is - your smile says it all. Your husband and friends are absolutely amazing!!! (so are you)Thanks for sharing that with us!

Wow! Great video- and even better friends and loving husband:) Your smile did say it all:D:D

Thanks! It is so funny to hear myself rationalizing about my run at the end. Those things make SO much more sense in your head than when you say them out loud :rolleyes:

My friends and family were amazing, and I loved loved their support!
