You write the best recaps. I feel like I was right there watching and cheering you on. AMAZING job out there: you did it. You're an inspiration to me and this entire board. Thank you for pushing yourself and showing us what is possible.
You are a mother fucking champion and I am so blessed to witness the Year of the Cupcake. I so related to how numbers lie and omit the full story. You are a champion.
You have amazed and inspired me this year, and this recap is no different. I am so proud of you. You truly are my H&F idol. I can't wait to race next year with you!!!

I'm here sitting at my desk, hiding my tears. You are such an inspiration to me and I am so proud to know you and to have witnessed what truly is the Year of the Cupcake. You worked so hard to get to that start line and persevered so much during those 70.3 miles.
I am so so so proud of you! Your determination has a consistency about it that I really envy. I don't think I've ever seen you whine about not feeling like training or blowing off workouts. Your mojo is bottomless and it shows in your accomplishments this year! Louisville is going to be epic!
Congratulations! I always love reading what you write - you are always so inspirational. Makes me want to try something like that, too. ;-) You are going to rock next year, too!

What a beautiful and articulate recap. Congratulations!! I had a friend compete as well and was shocked when I saw how hot it was. Your recap is an inspiration.
I tried, and failed, not to cry at work when I read this. I am so crazy proud of you. Such a beautiful recap of an incredible and difficult race. I am so proud of your progress and inspired by your mental and physical fortitude. You are the Iron Cupcake with a heart of gold. <3
