Holy Cow just registered for 2011!!!  This will be my first!  Can't wait!

Congrats to all of the finishers!!

I just registered for IMAZ 2011!!! It will be my first Ironman! Woohoo! I'll be scouring all of your race reports for tips!

13:51:13    !!!!   First IM is DONE!

Other than  the bottom of my left foot and my quads refusing to do stairs,  i am feeling pretty good.

Race report to follow

What an experience  !!!!! Can't wait for the next IM.

First Ironman in the books at 13:30:15.  Felt good through most of the day but the wind on the bike was just insane.  Was actually able to push the last 3 miles of the run and felt great coming through the finish line.  I expected to feel much worse at the end so it was a pleasant surprise to finish strong and healthy.  I am also surprised that I have not been very sore overall.  My Plantar Fascitis is bothering me a bit but that has been the norm all summer and it isn't any worse.  Overall an excellent experience.

Does anyone know when the finisher videos will be available online.  I expected them to be up already but I cannot track them down.

Thanks,
Mark

Congrats everyone!  Here's my RR if anyone would like to read about my day.  I had a lot of fun out there!

13:30:08 for me...

wow, we were all pretty close.

It must have been you that was right in front of me.  I kind of slowed down so you could cross on your own and get a good photo and then a woman comes running across right in front of me.  Oh well, I tried but I still think she finished after you so I hope your photo came out well.  With it being my first I wanted to make sure I got a good solo finishers photo.

Great job!!

Hey guys, check out some of my IMAZ photos here.  I volunteered, and I also took pictures so I could sign up for next year. I took about a thousand, but only about 150 came out decent.  These are some of my favorites.

Enjoy! 

Thanks for sharing the pictures.  They are very nice pics

Thank you everybody for all the comraderie & encouragement.  It's on to IM CdA 2011.  See you there.

First one is in the books, and it was great time!  The wife and I both finished, which was the main goal for our first one.  Ran the majority of the run on a sprained ankle-no idea how/when it happened, but lap two and three were run walk combo after a great pace on loop one.  So, hopefully I can shave off a good chunk of time at the next race.  A video if anyone is interested...  (the first two minutes is the IM video from the dinner, so feel free to skip it if you've seen it enough.)

Can't thank everyone here enough for your encouragement and your advice. What I learned here about training, the race, how to stay healthy, and how to have perseverence in the face of adversity is the ONLY way I could have made it. So, thank you to everyone...and congratulations to 2010 finishers.

And....good luck in 2011.

There are some great pix in the gallery. Thanks. I am having flash backs and a little regret for not signing up for 2011...

Got my ink last Tuesday    On my right calf.

Has anyone found the finishers videos or certificates they mentioned at the Athletes Dinner?  I have been watching the coverage site and there aren't any new videos or any links to the certificates that I can find.

Thanks for all the support from you guys.  It was a great day!

Mark

Have a pic of the ink?

Results book: http://results.sportstats.ca/res2010/arizona.pdf

Certificates: http://www.eventsonline.ca/fc/ironman_arizona2010.html. They royally suck.

Still awaiting ASI to finish the PICS and hopefully the FL Vids will be posted soon.
