Great race report, knew you were going to have a great day. Way to stay focused while working thru the obstacles to achieve your goal.

Nice job, Ironman!

WOW, congrats on such a well-executed race. Proof that it takes more than just physical strength but a mental stronghold over your strategy, expectations, and making your goal. Terrific IM time too!!!!

So that guy you met on the run with the M-dot tattoo? Chessyman was his first? I don't know . . . And a 4:15 marathon is pretty stout.

Kind of crazy to get the tat before the accomplishment. To each their own I guess.

Whenever someone comes into my store to buy a sticker (13.1, 26.2, 70.3, 140.6) I always jokingly ask them to provide their finishers medal or a time print out. You would be amazed at the people who say that they are not doing the race until next weekend or sometime in the future. Sigh. just sigh.

Congrats. Good job getting that core point out of the way before that other little thing you did the rest of the day.

Glad to here your father was at the race. I hope I make it to 140.6 while there is still time for my dad to make it.

Thank you everyone. Thank you for the well-wishes for my father. I really appreciate that. He is feeling better than he has in years. Losing 20 lbs. helps a lot.

That's pretty inspirational. Recovering from dizzy spells, and still finishing under 12.... impressive. Nice work!
