Kicking ass in Canada

I have two great friends who raced Ironman Canada today, Leishia and Christina. They both put in awesome performances! Leishia (whom I've nicknamed Dances with Sharks) finished the swim in 58:33, and was 120th out of the water out of 2000+ athletes! Wow. And they both negative-split the run. Amazing.

Both of these fine women have totally applied themselves to their training since getting into the race via lottery last fall. This was the first Ironman for both of them. They are hugely inpsiring to me.

I'm looking forward to hearing the stories -- you guys rock!
