Bit of Ironman Wisdom (just not mine)
So, as I have been exploring other blogs on the site, I have come across a whole community of Triathletes that maintain blogs! Many of them are returning form IM Florida and are sharing there experiences and it has been very interesting and inspirational to me to follow their journey as I begin my own.
Here is a link to a post that I think is very interesting and a great bit of Wisdom that I would like to share with the rest of the team.

Some of my favorite lines:
Speed is no indicator of character or intelligence, although some faster people may try to convince you otherwise.
There's very little "forgetting" to eat or maintain a manageable pace or use sunblock. There's planning or not planning.
Going hard for 12 hours is much more than double going hard for 6 hours. And mile 20 is still the halfway point in a marathon.
In triathlon, some totally unhealthy obsessive-compulsive behaviors can start to seem darned-near normal.
