Mike,
I'm going to Kona because of you. I played the race the way you told me
to, and it was perfect. Thanks for all you've done for me. Training with D3 to Personal Bests
in the Sprint, Olympic, and Half... and then qualifying and participating in the Ironman World Championships in Kona!

Post Ironman Blues: Fact or Fiction?
Ironman race day arrives and you are left thinking how quickly the time has passed since you registered a year ago. Yes, an entire year has passed since you stood in line to register or pointed & clicked on your computer. No matter how you did it, it has been a year filled with planning, preparing, and a lot of time and hard work.
The cannon goes off and the day begins. Before you know it you have completed your 2.4 mile swim and it’s into T1 to prepare for the ride. Off you go thinking positively about how you can manage this 112 mile ride. You’ve put in lots of time on the bike and you just need to be patient. The half way rolls by, special needs bag available if you want, and here comes mile 100 and you are just about at T2. Off the bike, into the changing tent with only 26.2 miles to go. You patiently take each mile as it comes and continue to follow your race plan. There are 6 miles to go and you are starting to wonder how this incredible day, that you have spent a year planning for, is almost over. There it is ……………..the amazing finish line of Ironman. People everywhere yelling & encouraging you to the finish line, the big screen tv, your family running to the finish with you, and then across you go. The emotions and challenges you have taken on throughout the day, the year of training, come streaming out of you in the form of tears.
