I have followed her blog for some time. I was so excited to be volunteering at IMLP (I have friends competing and signing up for next year). It was incredible to see those amazing people crossing the finish line of their lives. I felt honored to share in that moment. I saw Emily when she crossed the line and congratulated her on the amazing accomplishment. She's an incredible young woman and you and your family are an incredible support team!

I told here I was leaving my race and told her where everyone else was. "Oh, you had a race?" she asked, "Well, when is N going to be home?"<br /><br />"No, mom, the question is "How did you do?"<br /><br />"Oh...well...how did you do?"<br /><br />It just struck me as funny/ironic in contrast to your excitement and interest in your kids' racing.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-33209946857049178862011-07-26T20:22:22.478-04:002011-07-26T20:22:22.478-04:00Emily is such an amazing athlete!!

Like everyone, I can't wait to read Emily's recap too. We all tracked her from DC (from everywhere, probably) all day. PS - we met the guy who owns the pizza place at the Key West Tri last year. Making all of those pizzas for the IMLP finishers seemed like the highlight of his year.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615930655820867299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-51231080568686562502011-07-26T17:02:29.111-04:002011-07-26T17:02:29.111-04:00Thank you for warning me about the kleenex, I crie...Thank you for warning me about the kleenex, I cried through this whole post!!

It's physically and emotionally draining to watch somebody you love put themselves out there like that, even at shorter distances, but especially at an Ironman.
