I would love to complete an IronMan someday but unfortunately, it is not in the cards now. I do have some friends that have done them as well so I have heard of all the training and sacrifice. Good Luck in Wisconsin next year. I hear it is a very tough course though. Even the swim is uphill. LOL Keep up the great training. Awesome Job Mike!

(and probably a headwind).<br /><br />Congrats on the event! Nice job Mike.

Now you can look forward to the hills of western Dane County at IM Wisc.! (and probably a headwind).

Congrats on the event!

Congrats on your IM finish, and from reading Beth's posts, you're right, sounds like you're blessed with a great family! I share your sentiments on pride as your son wants to try a triathlon -- i've only done 2 small tri's but it motivated my son enough to do his first this past summer, and looking forward to next season already. Love the advice about 'what not to ask'. I'll remember for that :) Congrats again! Excellent race report Mike!

To train for the race and travel is quite a commitment. <br /><br />I am originally from Madison, so I may have to come up and cheer the family on in 2010.

I remember watching the Hawaii Ironman on Wild World of Sports many years ago and thinking that those people must be the best athletes in the world.<br /><br />I'm a drowner not a swimmer so triathalons will have to stay in my 'impressive but not for me' category of events.

An iron tri is on my list, maybe in a couple years. Glad you enjoyed your experience, enough to do another one, must have been great. Congrats! An iron tri is on my list, maybe in a couple years.

My iron-distance finish was at IMFL a few years ago. I was a Cinderella finisher, amazing experience! My hubby finished at IMWI, we live outside of Madison, so if you haven't done the course yet & want some opinions, feel free to let me/us know. And yes, "are you ready?" is one of the most common & most annoying pre-IM questions... <br />:-) Congratulations! My iron-distance finish was at IMFL a few years ago.
