Ironman WI 2007
You'll really need to check out Jay's blog for his version, since mine is going to be super abbreviated!
We had a really nice trip with the exception of me getting sick the morning we left for Wisconsin! I was fairly miserable until we picked up some Sudafed and I was so worried that Jay would end up getting sick too! We met some great people staying at our hotel... they were such a blessing to us! We briefly saw friends from the blogger community... I wish we'd been able to spend more time with them.
Race day began super early at 3:45am and we weren't back to the hotel until around 10:30pm! I don't really feel right complaining about what a long day it was since I basically stood around and cheered occasionally, so I won't. I will say that Crocs are probably not a good shoe choice when you're on your feet for nealy 14 hours though!
Jay crossed the finish line at 9:38pm... 14 hours, 38 minutes and 23 seconds! I know he was a little disappointed with his finishing time, but I'm still incredibly proud of him! It was such an amazing experience!
Can't forget the pictures! IM WI 07
They're unedited still, but I just haven't had the time to sit and pretty them up. Enjoy anyway!

It's tough being a Sherpa at IM, no lie. Well done and thanxs for the updates.
sherpa'ing is tough! long hours, lots of cheering and it really tough when you don't feel well. Way to go Aimee, you are a trooper sherpa!
