Here it is! My first Ironman!!

The swim was more like a wet mosh-pit. The video actually captures some of the chaos. It was one of the best days of my life!

Also, near the end of the video we captured Matt Long finishing just 2 minutes before midnight! Oh, and that other guy who finished EXACTLY at 12:00!!! Amazing. You couldn't script a better ending to such an incredible day.

Thanks to all the volunteers who kept me going. I'll be sure to do the same for you next year.

I can't see the pics. It says "View Steve's Album" but that's not a link. The only pic up there is you hugging the M-Dot

TexTriGuy, if yours in anything like Lake Placid, I'd encourage you to go to the athlete dinner on Friday night. They'll play some awesome videos to get you pumped up and inspired. "YOU WILL DO THIS"

Ironman is yours....now go and take it. You will do this.

I loved this.  While I was watching (and getting teary-eyed, of course) my 6 yo son says, "Mommy, they persevere."  From the mouths of babes.

It amazes and inspires me to see the spectator bleachers FULL at the end of the day, and the people are cheering just as loud as they were at the beginning.

Great job finishers!

As a fat guy whom is trying to gain his life and fitness back. I must say this was a really cool video. It did bring a tear to my eye, just thinking of the feeling of accomplishment you must have felt.

thank you.

Sorry about the video being removed! I did some more video editing. I felt it needed a stronger beginning so I added a cool quote. I had to remove the old video and post this new one!

Sorry! I hope you enjoy!

Watching that 72 yr old man cross the line just minutes before midnight....wow. Did you see the excitement in his eyes? The camera captured just a millisecond of his expression, but that's going to stick with me for life.

It's amazing what one can accomplish if they want it badly enough. Nothing can stop a positive attitude and endless determination. I hope to God I have that drive when I'm 72.

Warren Miller once said "Adventure is the call of common people to become uncommon".

This life is ours...right now....and it's here for the taking.





Geez when the heck did I get so deep? Haha.. I better go run it off.

Here's the video link again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbAdXfR7KeY
