Someone call NBC, they should add me to their staff...

They say Kona is the Hardest Ironman. After all it's the world championship, nothing less is to be expected.
Until you are there you can not truly understand what they mean. Until you feel the wind and the heat you can not understand the true energy of the Island. The race has made champions and broken them down but all of them come away with something larger than the race itself.
Somewhere along the way everyone is challenged and something inside them takes over.
PRIDE. It's what makes you start running the hill on Palani when you are in pain. Your back hurts, you've been sick before the race, you've been sick during the race, you have cramps, your body is in utter pain, and you are not feeling as well as you'd hoped. But along side the rode your friends are cheering and you muster up everything you have to run past them. If they're lucky they'll see you smile and they'll know you appreciate them being out there to cheer you on.
Congratulations to Ali, Jen, Chris, Juli, Fish, Danny, Des, Terra, Jim, Stephan, Lisa, Mark, and Chad
