Elite  5316   Alturas, California |  Subject: Yay I am officially an Ironman... 12:16:29Wow, nearly 2 years with BT and off the couch and I just completed my first IM on Saturday, Vineman! It was a bit touch and go with a strained calf 3 weeks out from the event on my last long run, but with a lot of rest on the legs they held for the race. I ended up being able to run the entire marathon with the 3 loop times 1:17, 1:26 and 1:26 and a strong finish. Simply amazing. Thanks to everyone here who gave useful advice and encouragement along the way. And thanks to God for holding my calves together for the run, especially that last mile where the right one was threatening to get unfrienly on me. BT is an awsome support and I just wanted to put a thanks to everyone for all the information and encouragement over the past couple of years! |

Elite 5316 Alturas, California | Subject: RE: Yay I am officially an Ironman... 12:16:29 Well, I am registered for CDA 2010, not sure what I will do between now and then. I would like to hit another marathon in here somewhere, but am going to let the legs heal up really well before I commit to anything. And thanks all. Sorry your legs didn't hold up 8(.... hope you were able to finish, will go hunting your RR now. Edited by Baowolf 2009-08-04 12:24 AM |
