INSPIRED BY IRONMAN FINISHERS....
A maniac friend, James, was doing his first Ironman on Sunday in Lake Placid. We tracked him the whole day on our forum and I ended up watching the live feed of the finish line online. While waiting for my friend, I saw Richard Clark a 70 year old man who they said finished MANY IM (13h33) and the oldest woman competing at Lake Placid, and alone in her AG of 65-69, Louise McGonigal. She is a 65 yeard old Canadian who finished in 13h38. She has beaten the World record too! Simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and I-N-S-P-I-R-I-N-G!
My friend ended up finishing in 13h47... the previous post is a video of his finish (thanks Fran!), they totally screw his name up but he looked happy and tired!!
I keep thinking one day this will be me! =)

And one day that will be you ;-) What? Lake Placid isn't THAT far from your neck o the woods (mine either but I'll let you do it and I'll come watch LOL)
That is so inspiring! Shh, don't tell anyone...but one day I want to try as well..!
You can SO do it! Some inspiration, perhaps?: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bh1yMnrby3w
Yep, it SO will be you.
Great video Sarah! Thanks, I shared it with a friend who is doing a half IM this weekend in Newfoundland.
Thanks for the vote of confidence guys, I'm thinking a 5 year plan for this should be realistic!
