Wow, Kacie. As a non-triathlete, it's hard for me to get my head around training for and completing a tri of any length, let alone an Ironman. What a stupendous accomplishment. I'm sorry the weather conditions didn't cooperate more, but it sounds like you made the best of them. Congrats many times over!!!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
