And for those that have a healthy perspective, no, Ironman doesn't CHANGE you...but it may help you maintain when you are having a bad day in the classroom or find yourself challenged by life/family matters in some way. But what came first, your personality? Or Ironman persistance? :-)<BR/>I think it's in all of us, but it's just a question if we want to tap it or not!

There's a cheesey football movie called the Replacements and Gene Hackman says this at the end of the movie and I think it describes what a person might take with them after a big event like a marathon or ironman:<BR/><BR/>"When the Washington Sentinels left the stadium that date, there was no tickertape parade, no endorsement deals for sneakers or soda pop, or breakfast cereal. Just a locker to be cleaned out, and a ride home to catch. But what they didn't know, was that their lives had been changed forever because they had been part of something great. And greatness, no matter how brief, stays with a man. Every athlete dreams of a second chance, these men lived it."<BR/><BR/>You my friend did something great. Alot of people talk about Ironman but you lived it. That goes for ALL the Ironmen out there :-)Lance Notstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329233052728447291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-81307493557120449012007-09-13T15:21:00.000-05:002007-09-13T15:21:00.000-05:00It was so much fun to follow you this whole year a...It was so much fun to follow you this whole year and read about your adventures.

I finished my first IM on Sunday also and feel the same sense of peace. I did not make my ultimate goal time (12.5 hours) but reached my realistic time of 13 hours and some 2 minutes in change. I agree with the sense of peace, I feel the same way. Except for now I have managed to pickup a cold (I felt coming on Sunday morning) and am deep in work right now.
