I'm stoked that the race two years ago inspired you to get into running. You sure have gone all-out haven't you? I enjoyed St. George as a city and thought the people were terrific. Very supportive crowd that day, and we needed all the help we could get! RS Thank you Amber! I’m stoked that the race two years ago inspired you to get into running.

I live in Hurricane, but was in San Diego for a half. I was so sad to miss it. I watched the SG Iron Man two years ago and was so inspired by everyone's desire and dedication that I felt like I had to do more. I had just started running that March and now I've done 10 halfs and my first full marathon 6 weeks ago and my next is the St George Marathon in Oct. I also want to try a the Kokopelli Tri in Sept. I love your writing and thanks for a great detailed report! Amber Yea- I finally found someone’s race report for this IM. I live in Hurricane, but was in San Diego for a half.

Where in Woodland Hills are you moving? If you're on Twitter, I'm @theironmadman. Follow me if you're not already and I'll follow you back. Let's ride together! Recovery has been a bit tough so far. Not so much physical as just this ongoing sense of fatigue I can't seem to shake. Like mild jetlag all day long. Ugh! Hopefully that will go away soon. Welcome to So Cal, and hope to meet up with you in person. Michael, thanks for the comments. Where in Woodland Hills are you moving? If you’re on Twitter, I’m @theironmadman.

I do remember you and your orange kit. Made it really easy actually for pacing and for gauging performance...you were always a benchmark along with the guy who I nicknamed The Green Flash, also in that same group. We all basically had the same race! You were great to ride with. Thanks for commenting...it's really nice to meet the people who have enjoyed the blog. When and where are you racing next?

At one point late in the run, I referred to you as Coach. I think I said, "Good job, way to work, Coach!!" I was pretty hard to miss on course wearing an orange helmet, orange top, black and blue shorts... worked with you most of the day. Love your write ups and reliving the day. What a doozy! Greatest race ever. Guess you had to be there to believe it, right? You ran a dang fine race and were a heck of a challenger all day long. At one point late in the run, I referred to you as Coach.

It is remarkable insofar as I was just ahead of you on the swim, lost about an hour to you on the bike (horrible stomach cramps and a mechanical to boot), then had a similar marathon. What an experience. My race report, as are many others, was quite similar to yours. Also, noticed you're from Sherman Oaks. I'm moving to Woodland Hills in 2 weeks. Good luck with your recovery. This race has made it difficult to remember that the body needs to recover from an ironman. The adrenaline has just been surging ever since. Ryan-enjoyed your race report.

Good luck in Lake Placid! Remember every detail about the race and soak it all in. These things happen remarkably fast despite the long duration of the day. Hey Jason, thanks very much for the note.
