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!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Outstanding! You are an inspiration to me, just to be around you Ironpeople. Consider this - I think Lance A is as tough as they get, certainly a cycling inspiraton and model of tenacity and perseverence, with his furious determination etched in the record books now. But he also has had access to all the right gear, trainers, nutrition, bikes, time to train, etc he could ever want.
Now consider this - as pointed out elsewhere, Lance is an not an Ironman - but you are! Congratulations!
Also a great write up, it made me feel like I was right there with you!

Great report! I saw you finish- you looked awesome! Did you see where I wrote your name in chalk on the road at about 85 miles, along with the big pigeon?? (Probably not, BF didn't see it either...)
Congratulations!!

It was really nice to meet you - your bf sounded like he did well. I sure could have used an adjustment at T2! How's he feeling now?

Fantastic job. Whenever I get off my bike after a longer ride I think hell these Tri girls go running after this
. INSPIRATIONAL.
