My adopt an IM kids ROCK!!!
I told the class that I would stop in and show them my bib today before school dismissed.
Well when I got there they had made me two huge posters and a card! I was so touched I almost cried!!
The kids were awesome. They all came up to me individually and wished me good luck. It was cool!!
I also did a last minute talk to a second grade class. Those kids were so cute. They all bragged about their mom's and dad's accomplishments. I've found in doing this that kids love talking about things like that! So if you ever get a chance to share your tales from the road with them.... do it. It's very rewarding!
In the meantime there are a couple of more pics..

You wanna know why it's on Sunday... You may laugh...
The bike course runs through reservation (native american) land.. And they have a garbage dump out there that is open on Saturday. Last year they threw a stink (parden the pun) and wouldn't let the bike course go by the dump as it would hurt their business. So IMNA offered to reimburse them for lost revenue, but they still said no. So since the dump is closed on Sunday... we are racing on sunday.... All because of a garbage dump and some grumpy native americans...

That is funny. When I read "Native Americans", I thought, violating sacred traditions or something. Not garbage dump!
The kids are wonderful. I am so glad you got to be "their" Ironman.
When all is said and done, Denise, I'd love to hear about what lead you to this dream. And...of course...the race report!!! 
You've inspired me to go swim and run at the Y tonight.
And Nanci...ice diving! Wow! You're a natural for the brevets! What an honor to be getting to know such fascinating, brave, and adventurous women. L.Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!
