Seattle Danskin Triathlon 2010

That's so awesome! Way to go! I loved that last sentence. I love when that happens in life! I feel all chocked up right now.

Congrats Ali!!!!! You are AWESOME! Now you need to design a fitness stamp set...a lady running, biking, swimming, lifting weights, water bottle, sports bra, tennis shoes, etc. for the athletes in all of us!!! (want help, I have plenty of ideas)

Congrats Ali! My first sprint was the danskin in Seattle 4 years ago. I've done 2 since then, both Iron Girl. Welcome TRI-athelte! It's a really nice place to be. :)

Wow Ali, so impressive! This post brought me to tears as well, I can just imagine the feelings that you described! Good for you!!!!

congrats Ali -- that is HUGE!!!

This is "someday" for me Ali.
It reminds me of the quote, "Inspire others to be there best by being your best."
I have 3 marathons, 6 mini-marathons and numerous running races under my belt and a rocken awesome road-bike but have yet to conquer the fear of swimming which is what is holding me back. Any words of wisdom for that - especially since it is your strength?
So someday....

Oops, "Inspire others to be their best by being your best."

You go girl. I am so happy for you. You inspired me.

So inspiring girl. Congrats!!!

Congrats! That's totally awesome! I can hardly wait to hear about next years race (and the many that are sure to follow).

Thanks for posting. fun read for me since I lived on East Mercer Way when I was very little and remember Lake Washington quite well. I think it's why I truly hope we retire there many years from now.

Kick ASS, Ali. Well done!

So inspiring Ali!

Go Ali, made me feel like I was there with you - you are such a good storyteller :)

thank you Ali. You inspired me to commit to the half-marathon that has been on my mind for some time now. It has been 15 years and 4 kids since I have ran a "race", but I am going to do it.
