Stories of 1st Ironman Distance Tri.

hmmmmm....didn't someone recently make a documentary about 3 BT triathlete's and their first time IM experience?

Did they? - I would love to share that on my blog.  Do you know a name, or if it's on Youtube or anything?  That would be great.  

Thank you for letting me know about this.

just tryin' to throw some publicity your way :-)

Wasn't the race of my dreams, but it was the race of a lifetime.

(It was my first Ironman)

No Davey, No Sequel.

Publicity thrown - I will use the Youtube Video on my blog - and send a link back to your website.  

Thanks for letting me know.  

Thank you. I may condense it - and link to the full novel.   

Thanks Lisa.

Anybody contributed a good DNF Ironman story yet?

Well, I'm not going to say it's good, but it does feature pictures of Ironman World Champions groping me.

Thank you both.  I was hoping someone would step forward with a DNF story or two.  I really do appreciate it.  These will be great for the website / blog.  

If you guys and gals have websites or your own blog you want linked, let me know, and I will gladly send some link love your way.  

There are many Race Reports that can be looked up, and it would be great to have some peeps respond and provide theirs.

Here's mine, and I had a cameo in Scooby's vid, too.

No link - where is your story? Thanks for sharing.

I want to thank everyone for their willingness to share their stories.  They are inspirational.  I have posted excerpts to the blog, then linked back to BT so my readers could read the rest of the story.  

Feel free to check out the layout @ www.ironmanorbust.com (and don't forget to "like" the facebook page while you are there) If you have any questions, or want anything changed, please email me and I will do it. 

Thanks again...I really appreciate your help.  

Nice work, Skrat! (I know your name. But those I love the most around here tend to get nicknames).

Gotta hand it to you. For one thing, it's a great blog. (Could use a little spell-check, but if that's my foremost criticism, you are doing AWESOME.)

For another, compiling our stories, and having Ironman stories on your blog, is a great way to drive readership there, promote your blog, and most of all, promote your most worthy charity.

Thank YOU.

Here you are, a litle of everything you may be looking:

Thanks for the positive feedback.  I also made sure to link back to the BT website...for the rest of the stories - as I like this site, and wanted to give props here for the content.  

Now I am going to have to go spell check everything...I usually catch spelling mistakes right away, because I use Chrome, and it spell checks as you write.  Were they spelling errors, or grammatical errors.  I type fast, and even though I know the difference between your and you're - I make that mistake a lot.  LOL
