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.

My favorite part of your report was when you tried make yourself to throw up. That sums it up for me. You are made of something else. Iron. Yeah, iron.

The type of person you are isn't determined by what you do on a good day. It's what do you do when you're having a crappy day. You could still joke and cheer and be happy for your friends. You found the mental strength to keep going and finish what you started, without killing yourself, or bringing back your injuries. You persevered and you should be proud.
I'd hang out with you.

Totally, 100% agree. Originally Posted by Veronica

I love the race report - I came here after reading it on twitter. Sometimes humble pie is what we eat, but we live to fight another day.
You didn't quit. You smiled. You finished. And you finished with an absolutely respectable time. It's virtually impossible to compare one Ironman to another, even the same course year after year, because in a race like that, there are SO MANY variables and they all get magnified at that scale of distance.
Again, congrats.
