What an amazing journey you've been on, inhale breath, exhale awesomeness! I loved all the kindness & support from other athletes throughout the race. Congrats and much appreciation for sharing all the highs & lows. You MFing did it!
What a great recap - it's been so inspiring to read all three of them! Congratulations IronCupcake - I'm sorry your stomach was being an asshole to you, but you still did amazing things out there despite that and the crazy weather.
AHHH! I was in meetings all day knowing this was here taunting me.
I can't even. To get through that day with a spill and your stomach? IronCupcake Indeed. This journey has been freakin' epic and I thank you a million times for taking us all along with you.

Congratulations!!!
You are such an inspiration. I’m so sorry your stomach betrayed you like that. You are incredible for finishing and finishing while sick the whole day. I love reading your race recaps, it truly felt like I was there with you.
Congratulations! After being there to see you run Ragnar Cape Cod, I've been keeping up with your training. I am inspired by your commitment and dedication. Well done!!
You are incredible! You have strength and smarts, and the willingness to work your butt off to get things done. That makes for one fine triathlete and IRONman! Awesome recap! Thanks for taking the time to do it. Felt like I was right there with you!
What a phenomenal recap! I am so proud of you, woman! I am so impressed with your cycling - way to destroy that course even with that shitty weather and even getting blown over. So badass. And you looked so strong and focused on that run. I loved seeing you out there and I'm so proud of how well you did the whole day!!

The tears are sliding down my face while I sit on the pool bleachers watching my kid's swim team practice. You are such a gifted writer, in addition to a freaking ironman. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your journey.
Finally, finally, I'm getting to sit down and read this. And it's a must read. You are such a strong person, a strong athlete, and a strong friend. The grit your body displayed and the love you gave your friends and fellow racers is all beautiful. Your poor stomach. Do you think it was the river water that made you so sick? I suppose hard to know for sure.
Congratulations on an epic journey and all that lies ahead!! So proud of you. Happy to read you rocked your bracelets the following weekend.
Watching all of you go through this journey has truly been inspiring. I'm in awe of all that you've accomplished - and such a strong finish too. Congratulations again Ironman!!! Thank you for chronicling your journey and inviting us all along for the ride.
And the real question is - which of you is getting the M dot Ironman tattoo?
