Had to head to bed around 10:00 PM last night... so missed following the final people coming in.

It was great to read this morning! Felt like I was really there! Sorry I missed seeing Tom and Kathy cross the finish line though. Anyone have a picture?

Great race everyone! Congratulations!

Thanks everyone for your support yesterday!!

This last year training for my first IM and really for being great BTers ever since I joined back before my first tri.

It was crazy day but amazing. The weather didn't really bother me until about last 10 miles of bike as I started to get cold. 

It is cool to have joined the IM club! 

I'll be uploading my official IM photos soon. Finisher picture was bad...but that jump took a lot out of me.

Congrats x 100 to all those racers braving the horrible rain.  I was out there cheering on everyone all day and can't even imagine what it felt like to race in it.  Hope everyone had fun and is drying out today

Hey all of you out there. Thanks for following us along that wet journey Sunday. I snapped this pic of Kathy in the Massage tent after the finish. It was with my cell phone so it's not great but the best I could do. Rock on all you BT'ers!

Although the rain made it a challenging day for those of us doing the race, every time I came through Lake Placid and some of the other communities along the way I was amazed at the crowds and support.   I just couldn't believe that all you people (my wife, daughter and their friends included) stood out there in the rain for the entire day!  That gave me the motivation to push on!

Thank you for braving the weather and cheering us on!!!

I say the same thing. While it was cold and wet for us. Those of you who were braving the cold and rain just standing by for us were the true rock stars! Thank you!

Finally got to read through the thread today. I am amazed at all the support i received on the Ironman course. I had always thought the NYC marathon had the best crowds. But they dont even compare to the crowds on the Ironman course. Thank You
I'll be among the crowds watching next year. LK placid Brewery drinking from a grouler of ubu.

Family and I are back from vacation in Lake George. Checked through this thread a little bit while I was there. Thanks so much to everyone for following along. It really meant a lot to know that so many people were keeping an eye on all of us racing. And another huge kudos to those volunteers and spectators who were in the rain with us all day.

I'm happy to have joined the club and actually looking forward to #2! Got my ink this afternoon. I'll post a pic after I take the dressing off and clean it up.
