An Army Behind Me

This post will not be long but I felt like it was the perfect opportunity to get it out there.

They write in the Ironman Lake Placid Athlete Guide that Ironman is an individual support.  They claim that others can not and thus will not aide you in accomplishing this dream.  Well, Dear Ironman, you have got this one wrong.

The amount of support that I have received over this journey I would have once told you was impossible.  In no way did I think so many people could get behind my dream.  Well I was wrong as well.  You and you all know who you are inspire me, push me, and believe in me.  One of my many supporters told me yesterday on the bike that the emotions I will feel at an Ironman finish line are beyond compare.  This journey and these emotions that I already feel, especially as I sit here and write this, make me believe he is right.

From helping me fundraise over $5,000 for the MMRF to putting up with my daily talks/obsession with this event, for just being there for me....Thank You.
