Seattle Danskin Triathlon 2010

wow!
teared up a bit reading this.
love that you did it - so inspiring, so fabulous!
yay!!! yay for you!!

That is awesome!

Congrats ... what a huge accomplishment! I cheered my friends on a couple years ago at the Seattle Danskin - it was amazing to watch. Love that you had this documented ... way to go!

Awesome. Well done you!

Congratulations!! What an accomplishment!! I started in wave 19, so right behind you! :) I totally teared up when the gal shouted "Way to go Athletes" because I struggle with calling myself an athlete. I loved reading your race report! You did a great job capturing the feeling of the event.

Congratulations on entering and finishing your first tri. My daughter Sara is doing them this summer, too. There are a lot in the Portland area if you're interested.

so proud of you Ali!!

Congratulations to you! Pushing yourself to do things like this is amazing isn't it?! Your post reminds me of when I finished my first half marathon. I had never been a runner, let alone much of an athlete, and I felt like I had something to prove. My family had travelled to see me for this and the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment and exhaustion 9and the tears of joy) when I crossed that finish line I will never forget.

Awesome! Doing the Danskin took me from non-athlete to athlete and it truly is life-changing. Congratulations.

That's really awesome Ali! I would say you did a GREAT job for your first time out!

You are amazing, Ali!!! Congratulation!
I want to start running for several weeks now and always have excuses because there is always something else to do, kids, household etc. You just showed me that it IS possible to do all of this without kids as well. Thank you for inspiring me!

Way to go, Ali! Congrats on setting a goal and making it happen. What a great accomplishment. I love that you took time out for YOU. Thanks for sharing the photos and your journey. This would never make my bucket list but I love reading how you made it happen for you and how happy it makes you.

Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment! You are an inspiration in so many ways!!

you are AMAZING!! Isn't an incredible feeling to realize after all the years of NOT competing you still got it in you to go? I did a sprint tri a few years ago--the experience was AWESOME--looking forward to doing it again.

very cool ali, what a great accomplishment. so want to complete one of these in the next year, what great inspiration and continued motivation!

AMAZING! You are such an inspriation to me, Ali! I knew you could do it and I was thinking about you all Sunday morning! I had tears in my eyes reading your story. I'm so very proud of you!!!

WOW! Congrats.

way to go ali!!! how exciting!! congrats on GREAT times and thanks always for sharing.. ;)

That's awesome! I had tears, too! Way to go!

Wow! How exciting for you! Congratulations on your accomplishment. You continue to inspire me not only in scrapbooking and telling my story but personal accomplishments as well. I'm ready to lace my shoes and hit the road to get back to my "athlete" :)
