It's been a pleasure to read this post and I must totally agree with Claire about you making a fortune as an author! I was watching a Pivotal Labs talk and, don’t ask me how, I just ended up here.

An old Aberdeen saying

“If at first you don’t sucseed pull your jumper over your heed”

or you can do a Keavy

“Ok I have been down but I will get up again and I will get on with it”

You are a brave girl go for it!

Lots of love and hugs

You are a true trouper! I have decided many things having read this but here are two of them: 1. I will never do an Ironman 2. You would make a fortune as an author. See you soon hopefully. Much love Clare Keavy

Arizona is on my cycling trip wish list, I'll certainly look into IMAZ for 2011. (This year's in November is sold out) Btw, anyone who hasn't read Kathryn's book "As Good As Gold", seriously go buy it, it's awesome: http://www.amazon.com/As-Good-Gold-Countries-Olympics/dp/1933060530/ Thanks guys :)

I cycled Ventoux at the end of May. You will truly enjoy it, the last 3km is unbelievable. You have at least inspired me to look out my trainers and go for a 5 mile run tonight. Good luck for the future Keavy,

I was on the edge of my seat through the whole thing. So sorry about the trouble you had, but very happy to hear that you're still motivated. It really seems that the race has made you even stronger, and you're well on your way to becoming an iron [person]! You are a true inspiration, and I am so very proud to call you my friend.

While it may not seem like it right now, you have something much better than most first-time Ironpeople have: a really great story. One that begs the question, "And then what happened?". Which you are clearly planning to answer! Keep me posted, and let me know if I can help advise on any IM choices in the US. Consider IMAZ in the future, I am 2 hrs from there and can help you with logistics and a homestay. Sending you a big hug, I am so proud of you!
