    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!

    WOW! What a fabulous report!

    You did a great job out there. 49 miles of headwind? That is something that would get into my head... BAD! Sounds like you stood up to it!

    The gas... sounds horrible. I can see my body doing something like that. I am making a mental note to pack Tums, Gas-X, etc. in a special needs bag... IF I ever get to do an Ironman!

    Well... congrats on becoming an IRONMAN!!!! What an accomplishment!
