“STEVE STENZEL, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!”

>> Monday, September 10, 2007

It’s true! Mike Riley said those words over the loud-speakers 13 hours, 53 minutes, and 32 seconds after starting my day. The complete story will be up within the next week.

WE knew you were an Ironman all along... The race was just a formality. You rock.

Fantastic race, Steve! Way to go! (and just for the record, big fan of the shorts. There were far too many guys out there in what most women would hardly consider underwear).

greyhound 8:34 PM, September 10, 2007  

What a great race and great time for an Ironman, especially a first. I hope you don't retire, and I get to race with you and Pharmie in the future.
