Someday, I'll probably DNF an IM, and I can only hope I have the same peppy (heh) attitude that you did finishing up that bike ride.

I live in CdA, and am racing IMCDA this summer. I hope you give CdA another chance. Way to hang in there!<br />Also funny, I grew up in Redding, CA, was just there in Nov, and took pics on that Sundial bridge. Small world. If you ever get back up this way, please contact me. <br />Loved reading your post, but it made me scared as hell. =)<br />Good luck at Vineman.

You may not have had an "official" overall time, but damnm you hung in there and persevered. Not many would have.

I'm very sorry to hear about the DNF. <br /><br />Mile 90 sure seems like a strange location for a cutoff point, that's for sure. You've only got 22 miles to go and they don't think you'll make it in 90 minutes? That's kind of harsh.<br /><br />Congrats on getting yourself to the start line and working through all of your issues on the swim, and for pushing out all those miles on the bike when you were uncertain whether you'd be pulled. That's a tough situation to feel fired up about, so I admire you for sticking it out as long as you did.<br /><br />Your finish line is out there - you'll just have a more scenic journey to get there. Good luck from here.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643429007621218084.post-20576553022276637352009-07-01T11:48:51.317-07:002009-07-01T11:48:51.317-07:00Great post!

I'm sure they're real glad for the exposure. Way to give it your all. There's such a razor thin margin for completion - however, taking what the day offers and doing our best is the real success. For me it was reaching the point where I no longer wanted to continue but continuing on with the support of my sherpa's - that was my success.richvanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636326043119926413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643429007621218084.post-4841189660907318792009-07-01T06:34:24.266-07:002009-07-01T06:34:24.266-07:00you are the definition of Ironman and I am proud t...you are the definition of Ironman and I am proud to know you and have seen you smile.<br /><br />All in due time, i know it will come.<br /><br />Yes, Jane is a superstar.

You are SO MUCH stronger than you were before a year ago. <br /><br />Take a good look at your self and how bad ass you have become, Mrs. "not walking up those hills" (which btw a lot of people did, I saw at least 10-15).<br /><br />You are ready.

To this day after 48 years of racing I still follow this rule. They can take your race but they can never take your drive and determination. You can then carry those virtues into your next Iman...<br />Good work girl!<br />TerriTerri Schneiderhttp://www.terrischneider.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643429007621218084.post-31504592766948413332009-06-30T11:26:57.045-07:002009-06-30T11:26:57.045-07:00Nor should it be.
