Comment by Bob 13 hours ago: We have had 3-4 new folks join this group even after the race is completed. Just know that there is an "Ironman Louisville 2011" group that we have started if you are doing the race next year....Lots of good info here but just know that the new group is up and running (31 folks so far). Here is a link to the 2011 group........

Also if anyone from this year's group wants to join over there.....the more the merrier. I know many of you can provide valuable advice for those doing the race next year (especially for those for whom it is their first IM).

Comment by Brian Hock 23 hours ago: Just posted a pretty detailed race recap if anyone wants to relive the day through my experience. Having done one I knew I would be embracing the pain but had no idea this one would be this painful. Enjoy! And a huge congrats to all who persevered to become an Ironman.

There is a TATTOO forum on this site where I just posted your TAT. Here is the link if you want to go there. I told them it was your leg/tat.

Comment by Michael Belh 1 day ago: Anyone can copy that if they would like, the people in triathlon are the best in sports and from what I have seen a very sharing community, i was telling people in school some of the stories of the great people on this site.. im still in amazement from watching the finish line till 12am... finishers, people who didnt make it.. doesnt matter people put their butts on the line and should be proud, it wasnt a cake walk out there by any means

Comment by Bob 1 day ago: WOW.....now that is a TAT!!!! I don't think anyone will miss that if you are in shorts or at the pool.....Hey you're an Ironman....flaunt it, right! That is some incredible artwork.....Your artist might want to trademark it (and have you promote it on IAMTRI)....unless you want to be a one of a kind.

Bethany.....
I'm a little down on "the brand" myself after a few of my experiences over the weekend and the lack of water on the course for many of my iamtri mates. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing because I love seeing common people like you and me accomplish amazing things like going 140.6 in very harsh conditions. You and your sister Mary are quite the sister-sister inspiration as well....Way to go!
Bob

Comment by Michael Belh 1 day ago: Got this designed back in the winter by the art teacher at the school I teach at, gave her some designs of ones I seen and asked her to come up with some, I chose this one, just got it tonight..

Comment by Bethany Cockburn 1 day ago: I second that, hedgehog.
Bart, I liked the powerbar drink, but only used it on the run.
Mary, Thanks a LOT for that info. ;)
Bob, Thanks again for everything. You are an amazing ambassador for the WTC and if they had 30 of you, they would easily win back any skeptics of the brand.
