A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

A few TRIgirl members and coaches have been sharing several Ironman video clips available on the internet.

Coach B. found this one – a slick little movie – definitely conveys the excitement and energy of the race. Plus there is the glimpse of a pink bike:

TRIgirl CD spent some time online and uncovered the following on YouTube – which, as she noted, “Not only does it show some of the details about registration, race packets, hotel setup, etc. for Ironman Florida, it's also REALLY inspiring because it shows three women -- all of whom seem to be able to relate to those of us who may be in the category of ‘first-timer,’ ‘might have to walk it’ or ‘love to breaststroke!’”

Finally, a few months back, right before finalizing my decision to register for IMFL, Coach G sent out a clip about Team Hoyt. Their story reminded me that there are far greater challenges out there than my own – and that with the right motivation and determination, people like the Hoyts overcome the impossible to inspire us all:
