I finished the Ironman Coeur d'Alene 70.3 triathlon as a fundraiser to help the @TeamGleason Foundation improve the lives of ALS patients like my friend @SteveGleason. Thank you, Steve, for inspiring me through another Ironman race. It was an honor. #NoWhiteFlags #AwesomeAintEasy

One of the best #IMCDA traditions is pro winners come back 8 hrs after winning to finish line to hand out medals to last hour finishers. Cheers to the great Jodie Robertson for keeping up this great tradition!

#IMCDA late night checklist:
—athletes wearing glo sticks so they don’t run into each other on pitch black course (it gets so dark)
—foil blanket
—clammy gross sweat
—mile splits measured only by answering yes to moving forward
—zero cares about finish time
—these are my people
