And, I added some pictures of my cool bike in the bike report (they weren't there before).

Oh wow - I got shivers!

Really incredible job. I'm so impressed with your dedication to your pattern on those hills!

Huge day for you & Randy - so many congratulations!!!!!

Damn you people & your recaps! I get all choked up reading them. So, so, awesome. Congrats again. Loved the recap, loved the pics. You & your H are adorable & I'm so happy that you both had such an amazing day.

Great race report! Very inspirational..... I had to laugh because I always forget when I have my name on my race bib too and it never fails to make me do a double-take!

I may have gotten choked up when the guy said "you are an ironman"

Great job! Also, now you're making me look bad. I haven't written my race one yet. Today is packing day, tomorrow is loading the truck, and Thursday and Friday are driving. It might be a bit! I really wanted to get it done before I moved.

Just think of all the things you'll be able to blog about while on your drive!

Funny, I've done three of these and I've never gotten choked up for my own finish.  I cried when DH finished his first (probably out of relief) and I've cried for the final finishers and big-story finishers, but never my own.

You made me tear up!! You did such an amazing job! You looked so good in all of your photos! You killed it out there!!!

[hannahb]
