Whoever said last man standing wins never asked a girl to play!
I had dreams about this last night! Seriously. In my dream there was this lady who came to visit me... and she was telling me all about how she was an Ironman!
My dream came true... Denise finished!
WOW! Denise... you are amazing! WAY TO GO!
*Does the snoppy dance* *Wipes away tears*
What an amazing journey you have been on, thanks for letting us come along. We are the lucky ones!
*Hugs*
We can probably watch her later- usually there's a thing on the actual IM site (Ironman Arizona, not Ironman Live) that says "Watch Me Finish." Hopefully that will be working.

HEY LADIES!
Go to the "Triathlon" section of the message board... Denise posted a short race report there!
I only posted this here, as I think some don't venture to that section.
Way to go! I was watching your progress all day and am so proud of you!![]()

I'm lucky enough to have a hubby who stays up really late working most nights - he watched the results for me on the ironman site and woke me up at 3:15 to let me know Denise safely finished. What a guy![]()
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
Wow!! Congratulations on such an accomplishment!
I'm in awe! Congratulations Denise - you are amazing!
