About Me
- Comm's
- I've been pushing the limits of my endurance my whole life. I've been called a UNcommon man for my relentless pursuit of doing something bigger than I (or most) could possibly imagine. As a soldier, a marathoner, ironman triathlete or hiker, nothing is extreme enough. Finish lines are great, but the true adventure is what it takes to get to the starting line.

I hate that video- painful to watch...
What ispired me to do tris was NOT this video! I prefer to see people coming across the line with something left...
I get goose bumps everytime I see that...
Let's make sure your nutrition is dialed in before Florida, shall we?
I take from that video the gut determination that someone has and the ability to dig deep regardless if she gave up first place position or comes in dead last. I applaud her for not giving up.

I agree Fe-Lady. But you can not dismiss that this is THE event that put Ironman and essentially triathlon in the public consciousness.
There is much to be admired and regreteed about Julie's struggle at the end; the bonk, the obvious need for medical attention.
But this is the BIG BANG for triathlon. This is the moment discussed with as much fevor as the circumstances of how and where the first Ironman was developed.
Not to do, not to win, just to finish.
that's why i respect the distance, but i still have NO FEAR.
i hope that doesn't end up being me. but then again, if it is, if i crawl across the finish line, i'll know i left it all out on the course, was personally tested, and did my best.
That is a gut-wrenching video. I agree that I admire her courage and determination, but the pain on her face is hard to watch. I am sure that this has been one learning experience for triathletes and future ironman. Kinda like the guy at Kona a few years back who was in the gatorade commercial. Must stay hydrated!
I wonder what she said after that race regarding if it was worth it.
I'm with Fe-lady on this one. I can't even stand to watch it anymore!
Ouch, that hurts to watch her hit the pavement!!
Yeah, I hope we all have learned a little about nutrition, hydration, and electrolytes since that time. And not to wear trucker caps. ;-)
