I AM SO SO SO HAPPY!!!

Ironman length swim

2.4 miles/3.8 km/154 lengths!!!! :) :) :)

** Originally was going to swim 1 mile and then bike. But felt really good at one mile so decided to go for two (which usually does me in).

At 2 miles I was tired but still swimming smooth and very much in control.

Decided to go for it!!!

2.4 miles later my arms feel like noodles, but I am so happy!

Holy moly girl! Every time I check in on you, you just impress the socks off me! Keep up your hard work.

Very good....now you have to put this all together and get some experience starting a race with a big bunch of rabid swimmers in open water. It's a bunch different that doing laps in the pool!!! Keep after it!!!

Eric~

Thanks!

Kathie~

2014 --- MAYBE!!!! :)

Rachel~

You are funny! ;)

Slick~

Yeah, that scares me to death! In fact, I am pretty certain that I would be the one to swim way off to the side (even if it meant extra mileage) to lessen the chaos a bit. :)

so glad you swam so well!! Noodle arms, those are well deserved. Where do you swim at? I sure need to get out and swim. Every time I read about your swimming I want to swim.....I need a buddy :D.

From DonGardinero on Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 23:37:54 from 152.216.7.5

See? I told you that you could do it!!! Awesome!!!

From DonGardinero on Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 23:39:13 from 152.216.7.5

BTW, it would be cool if we did the Ironman the same year.

From Rhett on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 12:06:57 from 74.32.211.152

IRON WOMAN TEENA!!!!

That is incredible. Now you just have to find out if you can bike 112 miles. We all know that you can run a marothon is your sleep.

From Bec on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 12:17:35 from 76.23.55.210

:) Awesome job on that swim! I have only swam 2 miles once and I know how long and boring it can get! Good for you to keep up with that.

From Teena Marie on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 18:51:06 from 174.52.45.85

Julie -- I swim at Gold's Gym. I would love to swim with you if we can ever make the logistics work. :) :) :)

Dale -- Didn't know you were thinking about it!! VERY VERY VERY COOL!!!! :) :) :)
