Subject: My Mom's IRONMAN W.C. Awards and pics!
My Mom just got back from Florida and brough all of her old awards and photo's including her 2 Ironman World Championship 1st place awards from 1985 and 1989 as well as her 2 3rd place awards, one of which is map of the course back then carved in wood! She also has her Bud Lite Tritahlon Series Championship AG award. And the pics are classic, I need to get them scanned! I love her aero bars from 1989 on her De Rosa bike!

Great photos!

Your Mom is incredible and seems she has helped pass on the tri passion and dedication to you.

Maybe one day my daughters or sons will have fond memories of my tris..but I don't quite compete at level she did/does.

Those are awesome.  So what you're saying is that on top of the discipline and commitment that it takes to train for tri's, you've got genetics stacked against you?  Just kidding.

It's really great to have that connection.  Also, I like how the dot in the first pic reflects you taking the shot.

All I can say is WOW. These are some amazing pieces of family/triathlon history. You must be so proud. Extremely motivating. That carved Bud Light/Kona award is absolutely incredible. Does anyone know of any current races with plaques like this?

That is awesome! I hope some day my kids are as proud of me as you are of your mom (not that I will be anywhere CLOSE to having the same achievments as her).

One question...is she your coach? Does she still compete?
