Wow. Talk about a kick in the butt.
I was just at IMoo (Ironman Wisconsin) to support my training buddy Cris Ferrone. Cris is a little tiny woman, weighing in at about 85lbs soaking wet and she is an IRONMAN. She looked so great the whole time it made me wonder if I had the stuf to be an IRONMAN.
Her race was perfect. She got out of the water right on time (1:42) only 5 min after I thought she would. That time was great for her, since she is not the big swimmer.
All smiles out of the water and up the helix (for those that don't know the helix is a cruel 5 floor wind of a parking garage) to her bike. we were lucky enough to get a pic from above.
On to the bike and another spot on time 7.5 hours and some change right on schedule.
Then it started to happen... Cris started to CRUSH the run! She was so fast the we thought that we had lost her, and then she was there,well ahead of schedule, and smiling from ear to ear! Her she is looking great.
I think the run was harder on us than her. look at this form!
We saw her at the finish, and she looked like an IRONMAN.
Cris is HTFU she is tough beyond words, She is MY inspiration, she is IRONMAN!
Congrats to you Cris, against all odds, you did it!
