Champion  6056    Menomonee Falls, WI |  Subject: Published! My IMMOO ExperienceI'm no Jon Krakauer by a long shot, but I was lucky enough to have my account of my recent Ironman Wisconsin experience published by The Pace of Chicago Endurance Sports Blog. If you want to know what's it's like to experience an Ironman from the middle-to-back of the pack, here's my take... http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/pace-of-chicago/2009/09/crossing-ov... |

Elite 3683 Whispering Pines, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Published! My IMMOO Experience Awesome write up! I noticed a typo, maybe? "At 7:50, the horn for the pro start sounded, giving them a 10-minute head start on us mortals (as if many of us were any threat to catch them.) Then came our turn. At precisely 7am, the cannon fired-" did they start at 6:50? awesome, awesome race report...one of the best, if not the best, i've read.  congrats, Ironman! BTW, funniest line in the story for me: "Arms flailed. Legs kicked. I'm pretty sure I even saw someone's gall bladder go floating by." haha, that made me laugh!

Yep, you're absolutely right, the pro's started at 6:50am. Dang, editors! What good are they? (Of course, it wasn't MY fault!  ) |

Master 1529 Living in the past | Subject: RE: Published! My IMMOO Experience It was the "friend Jeff" part that made it so compelling...or maybe it was the "Hillary Biscay" part...or maybe the humor...or maybe...ah heck, it was just a great story. Congrats, Rich, but no great surprise at the honor...you have a gift. |
