YOU DID IT!!!!
Congrats Melisa on an AMAZING race!!!! Your report was incredible- felt like I was right there with you. Sorry for the lies, but they have to lie a little or you'll be so depressed at knowing you have endless waves and a 49 mile headwind (ouch!).
I know you're so proud of yourself, and you should be!!! What an amazing accomplishment!!! Congrats!!!

Melisa Angelone, YOU ARE AN IRONWOMAN.
My God. That is just fabulous. Congratulations."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

Great report. Congratulations. You must be on top of the world!
There are so many kicka** women on this forum. I love it! You IronPeople (and, for that matter, you TriPeople and BrevetPeople and MultipleDoubleCenturyPeople and UltraRunningPeople) are all super hardcore and AMAZING.

Melisa- I always read about/watch the Ironman Tris and I just can't wrap my mind around it... to me, it's like watching yogis levitate or fast for four or five months... It's that level of incredible. You're so cool- congrats! So much respect!
