Awesome year! I can't wait to read how you do on New Year's day! If it wasn't Nick's birthday, I would join you. Hopefully we'll run into each other at the Hampton Half. I definitely won't be running with you, but it would be fun to talk.

I love that you went from 50 to 500+ miles on the bike in 1 month. ;) Only with cycling can we do something like that and not be totally injured. :)
Happy New Year!

YOU HAD AN AMAZING YEAR!!! WOW!! I can't get over how many miles you ran. I need to get over my water phobia too. Seriously congrats on an amazing year!

You are amazing! How many shorter tris did you do before your half Ironman? I so want to put a tri on my list to do in 2011. I bought a really nice bike (well, nice for me but it is all relative...I'm sure my $1200 Trek is small potatoes to you big Tri people) and all I've used it for so far is a bit of commuting before kids and collecting dust in the garage. :( Happy New Year to you! I am going to be stalking you soon when I start tri training. :)
