BT Forum

I became an Ironman in KY almost 2 weeks ago and for those of you racing and watching on-line you know that Mike Reilly, The Voice of Ironman, was not there welcoming us across the finish.  When I finished, I never got to hear "Abbie Feibush, You are an Ironman!"  I did hear something like "from Tiburon, CA....", but after months of training all I wanted to hear was "you are an Ironman" as I crossed the finish line, even if it was not going to be Mike Reilly announcing it.  I'm still glowing from my accomplishment, but hearing those words would have made it just that much sweeter.

Anyway, an AMAZING BTer read my race report and read a few days later in my log that I was a little disappointed at the finish line.  This BTer has some connections in the IM world and today my dream came true.  When I got home I had a voicemail from Mike Reilly congradulating me on my race and saying "Abbie Feibush... YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!  And by the way, let me know the next IM you do and I'll be there to welcome you home."

I have never met this BTer in person (I do know who it is), but I wanted to say THANK YOU!!!  The BT family includes some amazing people, I know because I was lucky to meet a lot of them in KY.  I am truely touched by your gesture, (you know who you are)....thank you for making the rest of my dream come true!!!      

Now I just need to figure out how to make "Abbie Feibush You are an Ironman" my ring tone!!  Would that be too friggin cool??
