Mission Accomplished!!!

Wow...what a journey.
Just over a year ago, we came up with this idea that we could make some sort of difference in peoples lives. With the conclusion of yesterdays race, we know we did.
16 Half Ironmans in 11 countries on 4 continents in less than 8 months....and we are elated with the result of our venture.

Yesterdays race was could not have been at a nicer place in nicer weather. With us both having great results (given what our bodies had left after these past 8 months), our day was capped off at the finish line with a huge hug from our good friend, the "other" voice of Ironman Don Ryder and a special acknowledgement of our venture by none other than Bob Blais, the father of legendary Ironman John "Blazeman" Blais who was "speechless" about our venture and could not believe what we had accomplished. He humbled us by saying that down the road, he was sure there was a project ahead for us with the Blazeman Foundation....what an honour.
The evening was caped off at the Ironman afterparty with congratulatory kudos from the World Champion Terenzo Bazone who we had raced with in Singapore along with Scott Rigsby (Ironman double amputee) who helped us rip up the dance floor!

We are taking a couple of days to let this all sink in...decompress.....and share some well deserved quiet time.

Back in a little while!
