I have several dreams after following Ironman Couer d'Alene throughout the day! I have truly been inspired & motivated to be a BETTER, stronger, braver ME! :-) The racers today have no idea how much they inspired someone they have never met! I am thankful!
The pride and ecstacy on the faces of the race participants was so awesome! To know they were challenging themselves - they were reaching for personal goals. What I wouldn't give to know each and every one of their stories?!!
Each and every participant = INCREDIBLE!
If I could do one thing (besides get in shape enough to participate in and complete an endurance race of this magnitude for myself) - I would love an opportunity to talk with most (if not all) race participants in at least one Ironman race! I'm sure the stories behind the racers would be astonishing - to say the least! People from all walks of life, with varying backgrounds - ranging from the fittest to formerly the fattest ... giving it their all, marching to their own drum and achieving a personal goal.
I am fascinated (in case you haven't noticed!).
What a great day ~ I'm proud for each and every person who set out today and I am now hooked ... I hope my future is full of a whole hecka' bunch of Ironman stuff!!!!!!!
Woo Hoo!!!
