Can't recall now how I got here but I keep coming back because I love your writing style and have been pulled into your journey to Louisville.

Enjoy every minute. It is a celebration of your training and dedication. Ironman aren't made on the course they are made from the training and you have achieved that.<BR/><BR/>I hope to meet up with you in KY. I will be any support that is needed. I am at T1 and will be there at the finish line working until midnight.<BR/><BR/>By the way--I love the Penguin!!IronWaddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065549723453997421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-56739622289000655002007-08-16T12:43:00.000-06:002007-08-16T12:43:00.000-06:00I am not sure how you can be so calm?

It's going to be very cool to hear your stories from Louisville...Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us!<BR/><BR/>BTW--did my preview of the bike course land in your e-mail account? I'm not as tech-savvy as you, so just clicked on your e-mail link and sent it from my Wisconsin account....hope it got there....but no matter!
