IMAZ pics are up

Or even a PART of one. I agree, simply ask "Tell me again exactly how far do you ride? Oh, and when was the last time you did an open water swim, century and then run a marathon? Would "never" be an accurate answer? Hold still while I pick you up and benchpress you"

YEAH! I mean. The thought of it, and I have thought of it, gives me the willies. Just for fun, add 12 miles to the end of that century before you take off on your marathon. I know when I did a metric century, the 4 "extra" miles beyond the 62 that it should have been were nearly the death of me! Mental, of course, but sheesh.

For most people, the swim alone is farther than they're willing to walk, usually. "2.4 miles? Nah, we'll take the car." I cannot get over that you've propelled your self 140.6 miles under your own steam when you've completed an Ironman.

HA! I am not alone!

So, what kind did you get? I got the "Original, low fat". Tasty. And less greasy.

50g tube of Cheese & Onion (quite good).

Cheese and Onion. Not on offer in the US. Sour cream and onion, yes. Cheese, yes. Interesting! I love finding things that are NOT universally available!

I just don't even know what to say about this. I am so in awe. That is the best finisher's pic I have ever seen. What a long, hard day, and you were always chasing the clock, that must have been EXTREME stress, but there you are with a genuine smile at every turn. What I love about the bathing suit/wetsuit pics is I imagine you thinking, "Well, the hard part's over, now all I have to do is ride my bike and run!" I am _so proud_ of you!!!!!

Great picture of you crossing the finish line! Your legs look *STRONG*!!!

I have to ask... is the lady in this picture, 10039-203-019, racing? Very impressive if she is!

[Running Mommy]

yep, she was. I don't think she made it off the bike though. I saw her on the first loop, but don't remember seeing her after that. I hope she made it too, but if she didn't, I hope she keeps on trying until she does...
