Hey Triflor- I'm sorry to hear that you had such a difficult time near the end of your day. I kept watching IM live to see you cross, hoping to see you coming in (your mom was so cute when she finished). I was so sad to see it start raining again, and was doing the un-rain dance to make it go away. I'm so happy for the rest of your family!! As for you- 3 miles short is nothing in my book. You are still an ironwoman in my eyes. I marvel at your toughness and tenacity as you tried to make it to the finish! You are soooooooo made of iron!!!! I'm so thrilled that you did as well as you did. 2 loop courses can be tough, but you did a great job. It must have been hard knowing you had to tackle that bike course twice. I admire what you've done and accomplished thus far!!!
Thanks for the race update! I'll be here cheering you on in 2 years at whatever race you enter! Congrats on your race- you deserve amazing accolades for your accomplishment!!!
