2014 IMWI race report......part 1 Going about this one a little differently. Being a 2nd time participant, it is clearly obvious that the order in which the story is told starts with family, friends and volunteers - all of which made the whole Ironman weekend perfect and so memorable for me. First, thank you Scott for being my rock for the last year. Youve pumped me up and at times made my head so big I wondered how we were both going to fit under the same roof. Should make 2015 and interesting journey on our way to being an Iron-couple. I love you. Thank you Olivia & Megan for your understanding of long training hours and words of encouragement along the way. To the best IM home stay family Jmc Fleischmann - I couldnt imaging staying anywhere else this weekend. You open your house to our whole family of 6 without wincing. You take such great care of us and we love you for it! Volunteers every step along the course are A-MAZ-ING. Makes it extra special when you get a high-five, hug, water, finish line catch from a volunteer you know personally. You all made the day so much easier to endure. Words cannot ever thank you all enough..Gary, Jenny, Heidi, Katie, Pamela, Jimi, Darcy Spectator support is outstanding on about 90% of the course. Even though youre trudging through your own race, youre never really alone. Its awesome to know where family and friends are going to hang out and you find yourself piecing your race together by just gotta get to the BP station or cant wait to get to the 2nd hill on the bike. The whole party on State Street for the run is epic. With personalized bibs someone is constantly calling your name, cheering you on, giving your a shout out. The presence of the Kenosha fan base was huge!!!!! I felt all of the love on the course and you all kept me smiling. There are so many of you that if I listed you by name, Im afraid Id forget someone. You all know who you are and believe me when I say that YOU make the difference in the race! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To be continued .......
