Great work Ironjodi!
Great race report - future rr writers should take note : ) Got me pumped up for IM FL, where I’ll be doing my first IM. Great times given the conditions and the factors against you during the run - inspirational for any of us that face difficult races in the future! In the end, I think those tougher conditions will just make it that much sweeter…
But darn it, about 15 minutes faster and I would have won the gatorade hat!!!
Jodi,
Congratulations on an awesome race and a great race report. You’re AWESOME!!!
Great report Jodi. A big congratulations on a fantastic race in tough conditions.
Awesome report! (My secretary just busted me with tears in my eyes reading it…)
Great race report. I want to be like Jodi. 
Great race report and good job putting words to emotions that are so strong and so hard to describe! Congrats on a great day… it sounds like you will be back for more!
First of all, huge props on hanging in there to run a VER Yrespectable time on compromised training and a bad stomach! Very Impressive!!
Thanks for a great an inspiring report!!
Wow, great report and great first ironman! Hopefully your pinky toe forgives you.
Jodi,
Congratulations! Great read and photos. You should win post of the day for the phrase “suck it up princess”…what perfect timing and prefect attitude for a true Ironman!
Way to go!
Paul

where are the pictures of you celebrating and screaming 300m from the finish line???
SShhhhhhh
I thought that was our little secret!
I’ll be back on my bike as soon as I can see my ankles again, and I’ll be running as soon as I can walk! The way things are going, it just might be awhile…
Thanks so much for coming! It was so much fun!!!
Jodi
Jodi, congratulations! It looks like your positive attitude pulled you through on a tough day. That is really cool. Good job!
Great Job and Sweet Race Report!
Damn, you are “one tough sumbitch” (or the female equivalent) and you kicked Nitasha Badman’s ass in the smile department.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Jodi - great report, and great race! One thing - your “after race” picture of your big smile looks like a PRE-RACE picture of you - you look so fresh! Nice going!
Fantastic Jodi! Way to go! I was particularly impressed with you running a marathon never having run over 14 miles! Awesome!
Jodi…
Great race report! I enjoyed reading it. Awesome time for your first IM.

Great read!
Very inspirational.
Congratulations Ironman!

Nice race report and hope you are recovering well. Great pics. I was doing an eight mile run today and decided for some reason to register for IMCda. I wanted to puke as pressing the sumbit key. My stomach is still knotty with this whole commitment thing.
AWESOME RR!!! GREAT RACE!!!
And you worked in 2 of my all time quotes:
** I have a fever and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL
** SUCK IT UP, PRINCESS!!!
Very nicely done - I don’t think I could have gutted it out on the run like you did.
