“STEVE STENZEL, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!”
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.
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).
I followed you two during the day...I think I already told you that tho...but congrats again! Great photos...you are a cutie, but don't let Pharmie know I said that to you! Heh! Glad the leg/knee held up!
wow! great job! iornman steve!!! it was great seeing you and pharmie out on the course. i was really hoping that i got to see you both at least once but being able to cheer for you multiple times was great! i really hope you are doing it again next year. id really like to be able to race against someone i know!
Great race!! Great report!! Sorry we did not meet up. I saw you refered to as hairless Steve on a blog. Kinda has a ring to it. Again, great job to you and your wife!!
WE knew you were an Ironman all along... The race was just a formality. You rock.
