Yikes! I'm very excited and a bit nervous at the same time. I won't be the first to cross the finish line and I could be the last but I will finish. I would never of thought I'd be doing this 3 years ago. It feels good to be an athlete again!

    You are a victor before you even cross the starting line. It takes an amazing amount of courage to attempt such a feat.
    Congratulations doesn't seem big enough. Try to have fun and please report back and tell us all about it.

    What a rush and a feeling of comradery! Biking was a real challenge. It was raining hard and only about 48 degrees. Frozen fingers made shifting difficult but pushed through. I never stopped or walked. It was a great experience.

    Good job! So, are you going to do it again?

    The first is interesting, but there is so much you can learn from more.

    YAY, congrats! I did a Sprint Tri and it was amazing to see what I was capable of. I finished almost last, but I FINISHED.

    And I literally started bawling I was so happy to be done...lol.

    Congrats! I love racing marathons. Once my damn spine fusion heals (scoliosis) I'll be out racing again.
