While training for my Ironman people with whom I shared my aspiration seemed to have trouble with the event being called an Iron"man". The typical response would be ... "you mean Iron"woman"... right?On Sunday when I approached the starting line for this event, men and women alike were sent off in one wave start to began our 140.6 mile journey to the finish line. Drive, determination, desire and perseverance were the common characteristics each athlete shared.
In my world, being an Iron"man" has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with courage. Please, feel free to call me an "Ironman".
My race report will follow!
