Ford Ironman World Championship Race Report (Page 2)

Congratulations Jonathan!  Terrific race report and AMAZING race.  It has  been so much fun to follow you along on your blog as you got ready for the big race.  You did awesome and I know that you and the family will remember this past week forever!

Again, great job!!!

Thanks for a GREAT race report.  Epic.

Probably the best race report I have read.  You captured all that is Ironman in the above ... and what is an absolutely awesome accomplishment on your part.

You trained, you sweat, you toiled through all of those hours to earn the right to feel that sense of peace prior to the race - and the jubilation felt crossing the finish line, knowing that you are indeed an Ironman.

Congratulations, brother. 

Fantastic, I mean EPIC, race report, Jonathan!!  I especially loved the description of your time in the Energy Lab - sounded like you experienced some very low moments during that stretch, but you stared into the abyss, it stared back...and it blinked...way to perservere and then thoroughly enjoy the final few miles!!

Congrats to Jamie and your beautiful girls for being an epic and integral part of this wonderful adventure.  And congrats again on an epic journey that culminated in an epic day in Kona.

Congratulations on a great great day!!! Epic race and race report!! The details and your ability to recall them for us is incredible.  Thank you for sharing!

I have checked in on your training once in a while since you posted on whether to go or not and have been impressed at the consistancy of your training.  The results of your training turned into an awesome race and you certainly deserve the title of IRONMAN!!!

Congratulations to your family as well.  As you well know, it takes their support and sacrifice to make it to the start line of an IM!

Congratulations on an epic feat!  You are an IRONMAN Jonathan Collins.  Incredible race report - felt like I was living the day with you.  My favorite parts are Forest Gump and you throwing out everything in your special needs bag except your flashlight. 

I also want to say thanks to you and Ninja for sharing the entire week with us.  It is the closest I will ever get to being there. 

Congrats!!!  Inspirational to say the least. .   

 Thank You!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for that terrific race report of the most influential Ironman there is!

CONGRATULATIONS, WORLD CHAMPION IRONMAN!!

I don't know you, but I sure as he11 proud of you!

Epic is the best only word which can be said!   Congrats!

Jonathan,

THANK YOU for the inspiring report, more like an essay on gutting it out (no pun intended for your poor stomach!) 

When I met you with Steve W. at the Concourse expo, I don't think you knew you were going to Kona.  I'm honored to know you, however briefly; your story makes even a baby triathlete like me feel the power of this sport.

Way to go!

Susan 

This right here is what it is all about!!!!!!

Congrats on the Finish!!!
