IRONMAN LOUISVILLE - we came, we saw, we kicked some bootay!
What an amazing day. I am sure Andrew, Jillian, and myself will be posting up race reports later in the week, but it was truly awesome to race with my friends from this board. I saw both Andrew and Jillian twice on the run and both times, while struggling, as everyone does in Ironman, the surety that they would finish was VERY inspiring. So proud of them.
Folks, there are 3 types of people in the world:
People who watch things happen
People who make things happen
And people who say "what happened"
Yesterdays victory was for the doers!!! We rocked it y'all!!!

Don't forget Marie rocked IM Canada too!
Dan was awesome yesterday - he must have passed me in the swim as I didn't see him until the loop in the run (he was heading in, I was out ;) ) and he was looking strong. I saw him again as he was at 25 and I was at 14 or so. He stopped and chatted with me, I was hurtin bad and relegated to a run/jog at that point (race report to come). Jillian caught me mid way through the run and blazed by, saw her a few times as well on the loops. Was really uplifting to see them out there, knowing where all of us came from.

I've been saying it all over the internet for days, but I'm just so impressed, so inspired and so moved by all of your performances.
I feel cool just "knowing" all of you.
