Finisher Vids

Some of you have your clips from the finish-line camera. I lost the link telling us where we could buy the custom CDA DVD with finisher clip (or maybe you could download your clip for a fee, something like that.) Can anyone tell me where we can get them? Thanks.

Here is mine...

Since we're showing vids...

Here's the video my "fan club" made for Coeur d'Alene. I can't believe how much work they put into it. After I watched it, I told them "how could I NOT finish an Ironman with people like this behind me?!" There are 2 featured athletes in the video: the fast one is my IronBrother Rich. The slow, sobbing one who always looks stressed out is me.

Since were showing tat's..

Tac thought he would resurrect the now famous youtube video of Trimama and Kahuna Getting inked....

My CDA Tattoo

I figured I would share my Tattoo also. You are not alone Wedgie it hurt like hell on the calf!!!

My new tattoo

It REALLY hurt! Maybe I'm just a big baby, but wow. I had an easier time walking after Ironman than I did after getting the tattoo. There is some symbolism with the whale: while most people struggle to shave every extra gram from their bikes to make them as light as possible, I ride around with a killer whale squeaky horn. It's just part of my way of not taking triathlon TOO seriously. So although my tattoo may LOOK like a giant predator of the ocean, it's really just an adorable squeaky horn.

Getting Inked

12:35 I am lying on a table at the tattoo studio. The guy just made the first incision. I can't see what he's doing but I swear he's slicing the flesh from my bones.

12:47 The plastic pillow I am leaning on is drenched in sweat. As is the table.

12:54 When I arrived here, they offered me cookies but I passed, fearing they would be some sort of tofu crap. But I asked for cookies now. I told them "I think I'm earning cookies". Happily they brought over some Chips Ahoys but I fear I may be creating some sort of Pavlovian connection between pain and cookies.
