  • Comments: This was a totally different race for me. The M-dot races are very slick and very well produced. That said, I definitely think they are pushing the envelope on how many people they have in an event. FWIW - I think they ought to cut back the number of people at each event (2500 spots -> 200 spots) and add another event.

  • Comments: Seventeen months ago, I was a 310 pound slob...today, I am an Ironman. I have a beautiful supportive wife, two incredible daughters, and through BT I have met some of the best friends anyone could ever ask for. Many of them raced with me today, and all of them have a special place in my heart. Thanks to all of you for being my friends, my supporters, and my fellow triathletes! I don't want to accidentally leave anyone out, so I'm not going to list everyone, but I have to mention a few who have been so special to me. Aaron (JeepFleeb) and Haley (Comet), even hundreds of miles away, you have shown your love, support and friendship so many times and in so many ways, I had to stop counting..."thanks" doesn't begin to explain my gratitude, but you both know how I feel. (Aaron, I haven't forgotten your gesture at Stonebridge, and I am still in awe of you). Celeste (CitySky), you have kept me grounded and your friendly advice and constant spritual uplifting are awesome. You are

  • Comments: Coeur d'Alene, You are AMAZING! The people, both volunteers and spectators are 100% behind this race. I can't believe the support they give to the 2200 athletes and their firends and families who take over their town every year. You can feel the love from everyone from the moment you step into town till you leave. The course is beautiful. The weather superb (heat excepted), and the water clean and cool. You won't find a better all around great place to do your 1st IronMan.

  • Comments: The volunteers were great. The people of CDA were great. They kept saying "Thank you for coming here". What? No, thank you for having us! If this were San Diego, people would have a heart attack if the streets were closed for a few hours, not to mention all day and part of the week. Absolutely incredible. All of the Northwest BTers were Great. Tobin opened his house to us and our families and Brian showed us the course and organized things for us to do. I met so many Bters, who are all awesome. Stake and Chippy are terrific and I'll do what it takes to race with them again. Wendy and Mike are awesome. I can't believe they would travel this far to volunteer at a race. Trixie is crazy. The scariest part is that DadYou'reEmabarrassingMeCow really likes her. She picked Trixie to be on her soccer team because "She cheats". And she is still talking about her. Stan (FLYBOY) is the nicest guy, Jamesreeves is so down to earth and funny, Danny (DanCan), is way better than he gives himself credit

  • Comments: First one. Lots of thoughts of being the last one....But now two days later? Hmmmm, need to start thinking about how to sign up for IMCanada. Had great accomadation down at the Casino (although its 25 miles away). Recommend it if you are into casino and don't mind the drive. I was worried somewhat about my lack of training coming down the homestretch. But Barring anything drastic like injuries or broken equipment. I wanted this pretty bad. Go slow, run my race/pace, don't worry about the stud 59 year old women smoking you. And Have FUN. Would I do IMCDA again. Absolutely! But first IMCanda, since that gives me more summer training.

  • Comments: This is an excellent race!! Of course I'm biased because of volunteering here the last 3 years and being a local. But if the comments from out of towners are any indication, it's always a huge success and people love it here. I hope CDA can keep the race for a long time to come. Immediately after the race I wasn't thinking too positively about ever doing another IM. But now, after a couple days to recover, (and I able to walk without too much trouble too!!) I'm probably going to do it again next year. I'll know what to expect, both mentally and physically; I'll know better what more I can do in training; and last but not least, it just CAN'T be as hot next year...can it???

  • Comments: All in all an awesome experience. Accomplished two goals...1)finish before dark and 2)finish without being wasted and needing medical tent. Got to celebrate with a ton of family and friends. Huge benefit of doing race in hometown is seeing lots of folks you know and them cheering you on. I made it!
