One finishes for gold and glory
Two finishes for strength and honor
Three finishes for peace and service
Thousands walk
Hundreds trot
Dozens run
Yet millions cross the line
If we are to share this road
At the end, when we cross
Our strength failing us
Will there be hands to steady us
Or to greet us as we fall
How will the end greet you?
I am proud to say that I am one of the runners. Also that I was there at the end of the line for my mother.

Running not for yourself but for another. She will be there to greet you at the end with a smile. Keep running!

i hope the good Lord grants me continued good health and strength to hear those infamous words before I die – “Bobby Dominguez, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!” I hope to cheat my ultimate fate until I cross that line in Kona.

I believe it! What you set your mind to you can achieve it! With or without the title your strength in heart and character has defined you already as one.
