I am an Ironman!!!
Thank you SOOOO much everyone for all your support. I never felt alone out there. Yes, it was HOT (94 degrees) and, yes, we had unforeseen WIND (20 mph) but it made the victory of crossing that finish line all the more sweeter. I'm off to Atlanta now for a conference but will give a full in-depth race report (as always) when I return.
Entry Fee: $500
4-Night Hotel Stay: $600
Masters Swim Classes: $185
Bike Tune Up: $100
Crossing the Finish Line: Priceless
Finishing Time:
14:40:47
(not that it matters)
P.S. I will determine the winner of the lucky visor later this week. Thanks for playing!
