I think I was wrong in my previous post about where Watch Me Finish is- I think it is really on the Ironman Live site, which is STILL having PROBLEMS and has reverted back to the old site that doesn't do anything. Soon it will be fixed, I hope!!
We watched BF's over and over last November- I made everyone at work watch it.

Wow! Way to go. You have accomplished something only many of us (meaning me ;) ) will only ever dream of. :cool:
I bet we get video from Denise's Hubby before IMlive fixes their problems!!!
I spent a lot of time going back and forth to the hotel so I was pretty much focusing on being able to cheer Denise on. I would have LOVED to be able to watch the whole thing and stay all day but it doesn't work well with tired kids in tow! Here are a couple of pictures - first one is at the finish, second one is the very last piece of the bike ride (this is where we thought she missed the cutoff because she got to the bike handoff area before we did!) then the last one is at the swim/bike transition. I'm not a photographer but you get the idea! ;)

Great pictues!
Thanks for sharing!
I love the way some of the pictues are in the daylight... and the one at the finish line is in the dark. Really shows what an odyssey (? spelling) she went through! I love the fact that she was smiling too!
she was smiling EVERY time I saw her! What a great lady!

Thank you so much for posting the pictures. Great to see her in action! I loved the one at the finish--she looks sunburned and so happy. I noticed how the race number curls up at the sides. That number goes through so much during such a long hard day! Great pictures. Thanks, too, for hanging in with her and being the tangible representative of all the TE support.
Lise,
Wish you could've been there! It was fabulous! PLUS, I got invited to Mommelisa's house for dinner - she's pretty fabulous too! I'm thinking I'm pretty luck to have met these really great women this weekend - Denise, Melisa and Denise's cousin Terrie! Oh, and Tony and Spencer were pretty cool too! :p

Can you email me those? I'm having my friend put a video together and he can use the stills as Tony has no finishers photos.
SWEET! I looked so happy huh? :D
Denise,
Send me your e-mail address - I can't get the attachments to work as a PM!
Trac'
Denise, I'll add my congratulations to the list! Great job! YOu are an inspiration to all of us! :D

Email away.... :D
Thank you so much! It was great meeting you and da boys! They are little fire crackers, and soo cute! I knew you and my cousin would get along. Her and I are pretty much like twin sisters.
I think we should all get together- with Melisa of course! And maybe fly in all the out of staters for one big TE party!! Imagine how much fun we would have?! So now I need to register for Solano beach, and figure out the rest of my race calendar... Gonna have so cal on it for sure! Summers coming so we will wind down out here. Suppose to be mid 90's this week... UGH the heat is coming! :rolleyes:
Open invitation: Come do the Lake Zurich Triathlon with me.

It was my first tri ever in '03, did it last year for the 3rd time. August 13 this year. International distance, fun, relaxed, and maybe, maybe this year I won't finish last. I've always done it with other newbies; after the 1st year they were all much less trained than me. We had a motto that we all stuck together, but for the last two years that meant I really held myself back. This year I expect to go as hard as I can, and see what I can do.
I would love a party in AZ to celebrate with Denise, Melisa, Tracy, and the TE gals! :D L.
