Wow. I am so overwhelmed with emotions for you.

To begin with, the sunrise over the lake was absolutely beautiful.

I’m so glad you keep reminding yourself to breathe.

Your ’stripper’ comment made me laugh! I didn’t realize there were people there to help you out your of wetsuit.

That is so sweet of your brother to wait for you.

I am so glad you made the cut-off! As a slow runner, I know what it’s like to live in constant fear of the evil scooper truck!

I didn’t realize you were going back to your old old Alumni stomping grounds to do the Ironman. I love that you did that.

Congratulations. You are such an inspiration to me, girl.

Congrats on finishing Ironman Wisconsin! Google found your post for me because of a search I have setup for Lake Monona. I loved your comment about “the beach” at the swim ending area in your previous post. I ski with the Mad-City Ski Team (you swam around our jump) and the beach was actually improved dramatically for the Ironman race. The small gravel wasn’t there two weeks ago… prior to that the beach consisted of large rocks.

Lil HalfPint,

Thank you for asking: my run went extraordinarily well! 20 miles are behind me – and I felt really great and strong on the run. I had a second wind (and a third wind, it was so long!) *laugh*.

My legs were a bit tired and even a little sore after this run – but I took it easy and had a wonderful afternoon nap.

Now off to get in some miles on the bike!

Whoo hoo!

I hope you had a good long run today. I’m feeling under the weather – another sinus infection coming on – and my calves were just screaming at me today so I struggled to do 3.5 miles in just under an hour.

Have fun at the BBQ! I got you a set of smushed pennies that were made in honor of this year’s AIDS LifeCycle. I’m a smushed penny collector so I couldn’t resist picking up a set of those for you.

An ICEE would be amazing on a hot day. I got to eat an orange otter pop at mile 22 of my marathon and that made my day.

Oh no! I am sending you tons and tons of ‘get well’ vibes!
