Kristina, mom & dad, Chris, Jackie & Gordy, Petra, Brian, Suzanne, Dee and Luna! Thank you for putting in a long day for all of us! You only have one first Ironman and you have all made mine. Kristina, thank you for all of your support throughout my training. As anyone who has done this before knows all to well...getting there in one piece is the trick. I couldn't have done it without your help...I've got your back now!
And...last, but by no means least, Craig - your support, direction and friendship have made me an Ironman. Every week with my plan you thanked me for my effort...I am equally thankful brother!
Jessica, BJ, Brian and Craig I couldn't have dreamt of a better first time with all you guys. Congratulations and thanks Ironmen!
The car ride home was brutal! 20-ish hours...will never drive again! All I wanted to do all week was sleep...and tomorrow it starts again...5430 Long Course, Steamboat Triathlon, Boulder Backroads & Denver Marathons, then rest!
Last Friday, I got the tattoo...
Ironman, from the day you commit until you cross the tape is all about lessons...As you go, you learn...what works, what doesn't? what needs work most, how do I get faster, how do I get stronger? will I have a better race? Until next time...Madison '09

sweet ink!!
Wow! Nothing like finishing your first IM, huh? You guys have me dying to race. Thanks for letting us share your journey! p
Sweet tat! Looking forward to seeing it up close to know it's real. Great job finishing your first Ironman. I'm really psyched for you, don't minimize it either, it's a huge, huge accomplishment in life. Can't wait to race more with you...i'm in for Steamboat and Backroads, possibly Denver Marathon too.
Rest up! CDA 2010!
