Melisa- Wonderful race report and I read about your mother. I hope you feel that you did her proud, it sounds like you definitely did.
Laura- Congrats getting back out after a DNF. We watched the April edition on Versus, it was painful to watch on TV.

How great for both of you---Mommelisa, for your time, and Laura, for being able to go back and have a great finish after the last time. It is so impressive, to do an Ironman. Thanks for letting us know!

I'll let you know if I captured it tomorrow. I can't find the memory card that it's on.

Mommelisa-
Congratulations on a fantastic race and kudos to your support crew. I had tears in my eyes and a smile on my face as I read your race report. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Knapplaura- How anyone could train and sign themselves up for 2 Ironmans races in one year is beyond me! "Tenacity" - you should change your screen name to that. I am so delighted for you that you accomplished this very momentous goal. Good on ya!

I found her! If anyone else knows anyone who finished between about 13:20 and 13:40, I probably recorded them. Let me know. Laura, I'm looking into a public FTP site that I can post the whole file to so you can download it in the best quality (which isn't much, since it's just my camcorder pointed at my computer screen!)
