Too funny. I saw the pic on the weekend but did not make the connection. (capital "L" for me, duhh)<br /><br />I was devastated when I saw Scott's tweet that you had crashed. You are one resilient chick. Amazing to get back up and push on after that happening so early in the race.<br /><br />CRACKED RIBS?!?!<br /> <br />Speechless. <br /><br />And you still finished in an incredible time. <br /><br />I am in awe.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-87706908683745823932011-09-01T16:46:14.237-04:002011-09-01T16:46:14.237-04:00ahahAHAHAHA!

I have my first one in 10 days at Ironman Wisconsin! Woohoo! I can already relate to the tears flooding my eyes, because it's happened once or twice on long runs, and long training days, when I say to myself, "I can't believe I'm doing this". So, I can only imagine what it is going to be like on race day.

You are incredible - the fact that you continued to stay so positive after so many others would have thrown in the towel is truly awe-inspiring. <br /><br />I too, wish we could have spent more time together; but I have to say - that was one of the most exciting, memorable and inspirational first-time meetings I think I have ever had with anyone!! <br /><br />I'm not sure if I told you about the text my husband and I exchanged that day as I was waiting for you on the road just before you turned into bike finish. He was with me in the kitchen after I came back home from seeing you at T1 when the text came in from Scott that you went down. We were both super concerned but relieved to hear you weren't hurt (which is what we thought at the time).<br /><br />When I arrived to see you at the end of the bike is when I found out from Scott that you had indeed been injured & I texted my husband to let him know that you had cracked your ribs and were still going strong. He simply texted back: BAD. ASS. I have to concur. <br /><br />Amazing day - enjoy it all & rest up.zannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169968339980800861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-58002644747191752802011-08-31T18:37:47.832-04:002011-08-31T18:37:47.832-04:00You are incredible, lady!

It makes such a difference knowing there are people out on the course waiting for you.
