This is an awesome story. If I were there, I'd be saying "Tri Girl, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN" when you finished that last step - even if it was 2 days later.
Major hugs and props to you.

Wow - talk about a movie-type ending. That's so great!

What happened to them??? I am a fan of RM's bike shop on FB and see their posts so I know the shop is doing well, but I miss hearing from her and Wahine on TE.
I've not been over here for a looooooong time. Life is crazy. I'm busy, in a good way and just don't have a lot of computer hang out time anymore.
Sorry to hear that IM 2 didn't go as planned. I'm glad to hear you did the smart thing. I had a similar issue on my second IM and should have stopped. I didn't and I suffered from some serious after effects related to hydration and electrolyte imbalances for weeks. So good call!!
ETA - Great finishing story!!!Last edited by Wahine; 12-11-2011 at 02:23 PM.
