So I'm googling some tips and your blog came up re: the bike course. BTW you gave a fabulous write up. After reading that I HAD to know how you fared. Let me tell you...you fared VERY WELL!<br /><br />I am so so happy that you achieved your goals! You brought tears to my eyes. CONGRATULATIONS IRONMAN!!!!!<br /><br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619079186572794579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-78812659745706319002009-01-18T08:58:00.000-08:002009-01-18T08:58:00.000-08:00I love reading your account of the IM, I have had ...I love reading your account of the IM, I have had diabetes for 15 years and have never done anything like what you have done, I started training for my first tri 2 months ago so it gives me inspiration to hang in there on those days when I can't keep my BG up!

Congratulations, Ironman! What an amazing race you had.<BR/><BR/>I, too, have run into issues with blood sugar meters not working during my last few races and it's really hard to stay positive when you're flying blind like that. Way to work through it!<BR/><BR/>And what a small world, btw. When you said the name Kim and linked her blog in your post, I knew I recognized her name and went back through some old e-mails I had (I save everything) to verify that she was the Kim I remembered. She probably won't remember it, but she and I e-mailed a bit back in 2005 when we were both training for a 1/2 marathon. We had both gotten stress fractures and were forced out of the event - I can't remember exactly, but I think we had posted on a running board (coolrunning or something) and that's how we got each other's names. Anyhow, small world.<BR/><BR/>Cograts, again!PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915520044052627933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-47836400086260864882008-07-22T10:18:00.000-07:002008-07-22T10:18:00.000-07:00CONGRATULATIONS!!!
