Congratulations on all of your accomplishements. I do not believe for a second that this will be your last Ironman... and you will probably meet IMLP again in the future. You rocked it- and lived to tell the tale. I'm proud to know you kid ;) Tara Derek-

I raced it, it was my first, I too, in some ways, didn't want it to end - broken chain, and other mechanical difficulties aside!! I agree with all you have written, and found your article to be full of wonderful insight and was beautifully written! Thanks - and maybe we will meet up on an Ironman course one day in the future. How can you not do another???? Jane Hey Derek,

Huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! We are all so proud of you and although I only got to witness a fraction of the time you put into your training, I am amazed at your dedication, perseverance and courage. You faced something that most people would never dream of doing and you excelled at it! Not to mention, you did it with a smile on your face - and that’s what counts! You are an inspiration, always remember that. Now it's time to relax, put your feet up, and enjoy a few coconut date rolls. :) - Karly Beautifully written! Huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

We can only live vicariously through your IRLP experiences and wish you all the best in your future races. Also, the next Ironman you compete in (and I’m sure there’s another one looming in the horizon), we’ll try our best to come out and cheer…because that is what friends do :).
