    Me, I'm saving it for the treat to read after I take my nap before I go in for my 12 hour night shift!
    .....
    later that same evening...

    Denise, I am just in awe. You know, I have had the priviledge of being with thousands of women in labor, and have helped over 600 women give birth. I have a profound faith in womens' ability to do what needs to be done. You've just shown it to me in a different way. I salute you.

    I didn't make a sandwich, but I did get through quite a bit of my coffee.

    Was that the NZer raising money for Cystic Fibrosis? She was pretty inspirational.

    I have no idea. For any of you wondering who we're talking about, you can read a brief bio here.

    Bringing this out of retirement...

    I pulled this up to read it to a friend of mine, and I got teary eyed from the memories.
    There have been a lot of new tri ladies on here lately, and I thought you might like to read this.
    You may not be having Iron dreams now, but I didn't in the beginning either.
    You never know!

    Denise, I think I had just gotten started on TE when you did this. I never saw the video till you reposted it the other day. It's STILL fabulous. I sent it to my tri coach. I'm still totally and completely impressed. Thanks for reposting this stuff.

    Thanks for getting it up again, I just had tears streaming down my face, even though I could see the date was a couple of years ago. Great job, great perserverance, it should be an inspiration to many!

    I'm working on getting back to IMAZ, hoping for a community fund slot this November. We shall see. Seems like I just did it, tho my lack of fitness puts me back into reality.
    UGH
