WE DID IT.

I am a triathlete. Total time: 3 hours and 30 minutes. Total raised: $3,000 and change.


Especially grateful to my wonderful family and friends who came out at 9am and earlier to cheer me on when I needed it most. My dad and Jason for driving back from NJ - you guys being there meant more than you'll ever know. Uncle Howard, Aunt Mary & Gene for coming in from Yardley PA, to give me the warmest hugs and most encouraging words. Jimmy for always supporting me and moving your work schedule just to make it. Connie for the beautiful flowers and great pictures (of Jodie, hah). Thomas for being at the last mile when I wanted to faint, and for being so willing to drive me and Vincent and my bike back to Flushing. Vincent for flying up from VA, putting up with my sickness grumpiness all weekend, then treating me to Spa Castle.

So many other friends and family emailed or called to wish me luck and congratulate me... I am so grateful for friends like you; for your support, for your love.

It makes me believe I can do anything.
