Before I even begin to discuss my own Ironman Louisville experience there is a special person who needs her story to be told first. My sister came in first in her age group (F18-24)!!!! She qualified for the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii and accepted her spot. She trained for Ironman Louisville with the hopes of getting that one coveted spot in her age group to go to Kona and she did just that. She stayed focused over the months of training and never wavered. She just stayed strong and steady and got faster and faster. Her race plan was perfect and she executed it all the way to the finish. It gives me goose bumps every time I think of the accomplishment she has achieved. I am so proud of her setting this seemingly “impossible goal”, going out there and racing her race, and achieving it no matter what anyone else thought or said about it. She’s my hero. Monica YOU are and IROMAN!!
Monica YOU are going to KONA!!
Monica WE are coming to KONA TOO!!
I can’t wait to be part of the “support crew” in Kona. Our tickets have been booked and we are counting down the days until we get to hear that oh so sweet “Monica YOU are an IRONMAN” again. You’re awesome....now go break eleven.
