    It is now three days post triathlon and things are going great!! http://www.kvue.com/perl/common/slid...29&nextimage=0

    Images 7, 10 and 12 are of our survivor wave.

    #14 is out special designation transition area

    #17 is my friend, coworker and survivor Hannah

    #24 Some of our group at the finish

    # 26 is Me finishing! Iam the one with team survivor on my shirt. I was getting tired the last couple miles of the walk/run and the other two ladies I finished with walked with me. At about 1 mile left it was a very steep hill and I told the other two ladies I needed to slow and thanks for walking with me. They both slowed to my pace and made sure I came in with them. I really touched me that they would do that for me.

    # 34 - my daughter Naomi (the one with the crutch) marking another fellow survivor.

    yes .... just to FINISH!!!

    14 months ago I was still working 27 hours a week because the fatigue from chemo (26 months worth) was so bad I just could not do anymore. I still have handicap plates because some days my legs feel so bad I can harldy walk.... who would have thought I would have finished a triathlon....just 14 months later

    I got teary eyed when I saw the picture of the three of you finishing together. You've gone through so much, and now you're on the healing road. I'm so happy for you!!! Congrats again.

    <sniff> That is so awesome. Since I started doing these types of events - I get sometimes emotional looking at these types of pics. I just so appreciate the effort and courage and commitment it takes. Well done. Bravo Zulu!

    WOW! What a positive looking event! I particularly loved seeing all shapes and sized competing. At events here I often am the biggest girl out there..

    And good on you for staying the course and realizing a dream- cancer be damned!
