Forgive me if this sounds boastful

[Carol and Banjo]

I'm just a proud Mom.   My 31 year old daughter just crossed the finish line in the Panama City Beach Ironman Triathalon with a time of 10:54.     Started this morning with a 2.4 miles swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride and finished with a 26 mile run.   I got to watch the coverage live online.....just saw her smiling face cross the finish!   Go Shaina!!!!!!

OK.....I'm done.   Thanks for letting me show my pride   : )

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.....I'll be sure to share with my daughter!   Sherri,  she's my hero too!   Wish I had a fraction of her motivation and drive!

[Leslie and Halas]

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

Carol!    It's wonderful to share such an amazing feat!  I am so happy for her and for you!  What an accomplishment!  I hope all is well up there in NH.   How much snow did you guys get?  Did you lose power?  We only got about 6 inches, but we did lose power for about 15 or 16 hours....  not bad compared to many of our friends in central Ma who were out for days!  Yikes I hope this isn't a preview of what's to come in Nov and Dec...  I can't even think about Jan!!!! 

Hope you are all happy and healthy.. congrats again.. chat soon... Gena

Your daughter is amazing Carol! I can't even imagine the commitment to training that a Triathalon would require! You have good reason to be proud! Congrats to your DD!!

Carol, you have every right to be proud and boast away.Congratulations to your DD, what a wonderful quality to have such dedication. If I tried even one of these, I wouldn't have to worry about crossing a finish line, I just be finished.

[Ronna, Murphy & Wilson]

Wow that is amazing!  Of course you are proud...I am proud just to know someone who has a daughter that could do that!

[Amy, Cubbie & Ollie]

Wow!  you have every right to be proud of your DD!!  That is definately a huge accomplishment for her!
