Thanks to all!

Well,for all that have followed the Road to Ironman with me, the race ended early. I made it through the 2.4 mile swim then 3.1 miles into the bike ride my seat post on the bike broke. I tried to fix it, the bike tech guy tried to fix it, but it was useless. At mile 6 I had to call it a day. I was very disappointed for my day to end like that. I knew if I could make it through the swim I would make it. But, things happen for a reason. I would like to thank all those who follwed me on my journey, my training partners, my swim coach, my friends, my family, my son, my wife, and most of all God. All of you played a hugh role in this crazy journey and it would have not happened without you. To my wife, you are greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you for your understanding and support as I chased this crazy goal. I may still not be an ironman but you are for sure an IRONWIFE! Thanks be to God for the health and the ability you have given me to pursue this dream. You have allowed me to race in 21 races and have kept me safe. You let me toe the line in the IRONMAN. So, in 2013 The Road To Ironman Continues Again. Up next, a marathon in Florida, then a half ironman on April 30th, and the Rev3 half ironman in Clemson in October. What a crazy sport. I am so thankful for it and what it has done for me. I encourage everyone to give it a tri no matter how old, young, shinny, fat, in shape, and out of shape you may be. It changes lives!
