     I've always described myself as "a brick" when it comes to my ability 
     to swim. I can only imagine finishing an Ironman. Not to sound trite, 
     but is seems like "a 20 mile day" early in a throughhike -- something 
     close to fantasy. So I think your daughter did "fantastic." And it 
     seems obvious, Kinnickinic, where she got it, too. Living comfortably 
     outside the comfort zone is something inherited or learned from 
     parents. Throughhikes DO have an effect on more than just the hiker.

What can I say?  She surely didn't get it from me, the wimpy thru X 2.  
Daughter Belle finished the (2.25 mile swim-112 mile bike-16.2 mile run) Lake 
Placid Ironman in 13:27:59.  She was 958 out of 1660 or so participants, a 
part of the pack and determined to finish the whole thing..  
     
Wow!  I'm exhausted.
