Nice job, and great race report. Good luck on Ironman Canada!

I can't believe they didn't pull the guy that crashed his bike!

I have to admit that I laughed at the part about being up at 4AM on a bus. I volunteered as a swim angel for a triathlon this summer, and had to leave the house at 4:15 AM to make a 4:45 AM meeting. At 4:15, I was thinking that I needed a different hobby, but at the meeting, I was shocked that EVERYONE was wide awake and happily chatting. It's kinda fun to wake up that early for a race.

PB, sounds like you had a good race! It was kind of you to help the guy that had crashed. Not everyone will stop in those situations. Good luck w/the Ironman!

Epic finish line picture! Congrats on the race, and good luck on your Iron Man. I'm actually planning on trying an Iron Man in 2 years, well more like 1 1/2 now. So until you finish Iron Man Canada I guess you get to say your a half iron man?

Thanks everyone

I'm glad you liked the report. It is easy to write when you have good material.

I completed Ironman Canada on Aug 29 2010. When I crossed the ironman finish line a friend uttered the simple words to completed my journey "now you are an Ironman"
