Swim Start!

I am starting the 112-mile bike segment of Ironman Canada

Ride Course

I finally cross that finish line at 11:56 PM, August 26, 2001

Teammates and friends congratulating me, I was crying like a baby

This caught me as a complete surprise, the IronSpirit Award

Alec & Nathan, wondering who I had to sleep with to get the award and the Cervello bike frame

IronBeauties & the IronBeast. Aftermath: The Day after Ironman, 08/27/01. Teammates Sandra and Marc limped onto my bed to keep me company. Great people!
