  • Comments: Sommer Sports did a good job with what they had given the fact that a hurricane (Wilma) would hit Fl only a day later... It was a very difficult race, a fact that was pounded home as I talked to more and more people who had completed half's in the past who were very unhappy with there performances... It strangely made me feel better knowing how difficult of a time I had and hoping to salvage any future hope of meeting personal goals for completing an Ironman. My hat goes off to those who completed the full!

  • Comments: While this was the single most painful thing I've done ever, I am already planning the next one. Either I have great drive, or extreme stupidity, I'm not sure which.

The only thing that makes achieving something hard better is having friends to share it with. :)
