Thanks so much Ironclm. It was awesome.I got out of the water almost 20 min ahead of my goal, and the bike 30 min faster. I then had terrible cramps in my quads.I was well hydrated,took in proper calories ect.ect.Never had this happen before.I would run and have to walk then run and walk again. After constant cramping the muscles hurt so bad I limped the last half.On the course I was very discouraged after finishing though I regained the proper perspective.There are people who can not walk and I was able to complete in Ironman!!!So I have set my goals for next yaer,run the whole course and shoot for a 12.5hr. So I am signed up. I would recommend you sign up,the volunteers and community was awesome.I am hooked. Thanks for tracking me and the encouragement!! Ken

Ken - I was great to meet you, Jody, and Shelly the Wonder Dog. What is it about dogs and triathlons; they just go together great! I feel your quad pain. I got the same thing and adopted the same strategy. With a 14% DNF rate this was one tough race.

Great job - you are an Ironman! See you next year - I’m signed up already.

Congratulations, Kenney! You’re my hero. Someone told me recently, “It’s getting to the starting line that’s the accomplishment.” He was right, but to finish an IM is nothing short of magnificent. I want to be you when I grow up.
