Mike Reilly “The Voice of Ironman” crashed while riding his bike on Friday. He has a few broken ribs and a punctured lung. Although he did not emcee the welcome dinner, Mike promised he would be on duty for the race Sunday.
Get well Mike, we need you at the finish line!

Sorry to hear about this ironVoice! Great to hear that you are going to tough it on on Sunday punctured lung and all though!! You are definitely part of the whole IronMan experience…
I wish Mike a speedy recovery.
This means that ST’s own TomZiebart might be solo for most of the event tomorrow. I hope Z. has been tapering & resting up.
who is this KJGrog? a new poster?
Wow, thats terrible. One of the IM experiences is having Mike say you are an ironman. Hard to believe he could
work the entire race with those injuries. Speedy recovery.

Get better Mike!!!
Wow! If anyone could announce with a punctured lung, it’s Mike. Calling over 2,000 people across the line over the course of 17 hours! Heal fast Mike!
Oh, and WTF? KJGrog returning to ST? Is this a special guest appearance?

Anything is possible. …and remember this tomorrow Reilly “You will do this!”
Thank you everyone for the kind words. It was a scary crash but someone was watching over me because it could be worse. I’ll be getting help tomorrow from Welchie, Ziebart and Paula on the mic. And since I can’t fly for 30 days Welchie and I will be doing a road trip back to San Diego.
Now I’m going to go look at the Cervelo I was riding, guess it didn’t do as well as me and will be put out to pasture. I was told my speedplay pedals survived but I tore the cleat off the bottom of the shoe and it is still in the speedplay.
Thanks again friends.
Hang in there, pal!
Remember, delegate, delegate, delegate 
See you in the big SD.

Wow…glad you are OK enough to type out to ST! Good luck this weekend and best wishes on a speedy recovery! I think the Blazeman was watching out for you.
Get well!
Jeez - the Iron voice on ST too. Nice. glad to hear you are OK. I sooooo look forward to hearing your voice after a long day …
Speedy recovery and a safe trip back down to San Diego.

Hey how about Bob Uecker?
“Now I’m going to go look at the Cervelo I was riding, guess it didn’t do as well as me and will be put out to pasture.”
Get well soon.
Get well soon, Mike! An IM would not be the same without you!!

Sounds like one heck of a crash. I’m sure your Ironman family will take good care of you… get well soon!
Ouch. That’s not good. Mike please get better soon!
It was a scary crash but someone was watching over me

And since I can’t fly for 30 days Welchie and I will be doing a road trip back to San Diego.
EXCELLENT DECISION.
it’s wonderful to see your post here and have some sort of proof that you’re able to make life happen. blessings to you in your big work day tomorrow, and in the healing process.

Mike, that is crazy shit…the cleat sheered off your shoe and still in the pedal and a punctured lung? I hope you will be able to fly across for Ironman Lake Placid in a month!
