I thought it would be cool to do a half-ironman 3 weeks before my wedding.

2 IV bags, an ambulance ride, and 2 more IV bags later, I was good enough to be discharged from the ER. Diagnosis: severe dehydration and nausea. To this day, I still can’t eat an orange.
Let me guess, you ate the orange then immedietely ralphed it! Same thing after my first HM in 13 years. And, yes I still cannot eat organges and it has been over a year now.
Great effort though and sorry for all the post tri drama! I just learned a lot from your tri report. thanx! Congrats again on all your happiness!
DAMN girl!! That is an intense story!! I am super duper impressed that you finished the darn thing even though it was so intense and very scary how ill were you were afterwards! Your stats are impressive, seriously – especially considering you didn't "properly" train for it. I bow to you!
You are one tough cookie! No way I'd attempt something like that and not train. Just goes to show how much MENTAL toughness is really involved in distance events. Wow the PR you have coming after you correctly train!
dang! thats one hell of a race report! i'm glad you stuck through all that and finished like a champ.. even if it meant riding in the ambulance and getting some fluids! 🙂 you rock!
You're a rockstar lady! Now, relax and enjoy that upcoming wedding!!!
Man you are hard core. That sounds brutal. But you did it. You can say you are a half ironwoman!
WOW! You are totally my hero! 7 hours of intense swimming, biking & running is seriously hardcore! Congrats on completing your race & getting married!
Holy cow! Heat is no doubt a silent killer 🙂 Glad you are ok!! After this killer summer, I'm NEVER going to bitch about how cold it is outside!
Holy smokes!!!! That's like a summer day in Hades! I am so glad you made it through ok but holy smokes… I'm speechless. You are bad@ss for sure!!!
