My Tri Story:
I signed up for my first Olympic distance triathlon in 1999. Shortly after I signed up for my first Ironman. The challenge was that I could not swim properly (only breast stroke) and I only had 4 months to train for the Ironman. I think I had never been so scared in my life when I went into the water to start the race with 2000 other swimmers on my first Ironman in New Zealand/2000. I finished the swim in mainly front-crawl (the wet-suit helped) and I finished the Ironman in 12hrs 20min and got hooked. In the meantime, I have completed 7 Ironmans of which 2 times Kona. I am going back to Kona this year and can't wait!!
B!!! Congratulations for Hawaii!! We were following you from london :) How did it feel this time round? While I was running the last lap of Barcelona's tri, I was so impressed to think that whilst I was panting and ready to collapse, you would have the stamina to continue for another 10 hours!!! Simply incredible. I really want to be there to support you next time... Well done for your run and over all time, it is amazing...
Your story has given me some mental support. I will attempt my first IM at Busselton in 6 weeks. Whilst I can swim freestyle I do wonder what I've got myself into.
Hey B! Just wanted to wish you all the ver very best for Hawaii!! I am thinking of you nonstop and I am sure you will enjoy it to its fullest all over again! Cant wait to hear all about it, wish I could be there to support you, but you should know I am supporting you here. Good luck... love, nessie xxx
Brigitte...good luck for Kona...I am totally in awe of you!! Am going for my first IM in OZ next April. Just did IM Singapore 70.3 and enjoyed it (although not fast did it better than I expected). Welcome to Phuket anytime. Cheers AJ

Congratulations on your success with your amazing Ironman finishes! You have inspired me! So, I may be in Hong Kong at the end of this month to visit my sister, if you are there I would love to see you and perhaps you can give me some tips :)

Hi B!
ja wow - warum Hong Kong? 7 Ironman´s - not bad! Ich werd mich nächstes Jahr auf die 70.3er Serie konzentrieren - wenn ich meinen Lauf in den Griff bekomm, wär des scho da Hammer (lauf halt nur 1.40 aufm Halben beim 70.3).
Genieß die Zeit in Kona!
lass was von dir hören

Like you my swim is the weakest event and it took me a while to get away from the breaststroke. Best of luck in 2009
Thinking of you... nessie xxx
