Those that have done the Ironman say it is like Christmas...the most wonderful time of the year. A gift that stays with you forever. We found our self busy on Ironman eve. There is so much that goes into this "gift" ! It took hours to organize every transition bag and get it all together but he finally did!
It was still Saturday and XC practice went on. At the end of practice the team presented Jeremy with a sign and cards from all the kids...and lots of cheers of encouragement!
He could barely thank them he was so choked up...so touched...and overwhelmed with love. He is inspired by these kids...he loves these kids...he will carry these kids in his heart tomorrow as he makes this unbelievable journey.
The boys are so proud of him....
the team cheer today...Team Terminator Rocks!
With Ironman squared away he rested for a bit and watched the DVD I made him once more...
One more reminder of who inspires him to swim...
who inspires him to bike.....
who inspires him to run....
like christmas eve...he left thigs out that night...but not for Santa...for himself...in preparatoin for a gift he would be givng himself tomorrow...the gift of Iroman greatness.
Before bed he read all the card from the XC kids....
Some made him laugh.....
Others almost brought tears.....
but he read and loved every one....
Goodnight and Good luck!
See you at the finish line, Daddy!
