Congratulations are in order for a very close and good friend of ours. Her name is ****** and she is a stud! No wait, make that studet, Ironwoman? Well the announcer said " ****** You Are An Ironman! So we'll go with that. Yup, our drop dead gorgeous 5'7'' 102 pd Canadian-American show stopper is now an Ironman, having completed this years event with a run time of 5:04:04!
(Quote) As I turned the corner to head to the finish line, the streets were packed with people cheering like crazy. I even saw my coach who was just walking around because he hadn’t expected to see me for another half hour. Running those last few yards were absolutely surreal. The realization that I finally accomplished something I never thought possible, and to have my family and friends, hundreds of strangers cheer me on in my last steps and to hear those words, “**********, you are an IRONMAN”, will be something I will never forget.
This was her first Ironman event. She also races crotch rockets around the track! I've been trying to get her to write about it for you. Maybe now that she's not getting up at 4:30am drinking raw eggs and running up the stairs of the downtown court building she'll have a bit of time.
But whatever the case, Congrats ******! As the kiddies used to say, you go girl!
