While many people think that the “You are an Ironman” proclamation as you cross the finish line at an Ironman is some kind of big, epic, life-altering thing that it will be forever burned into your memory, I really don’t remember hearing it specifically.  I just remember the huge sense of relief:  I was happy to make it to the race start healthy. I didn't know at the time but I managed a podium finish, 2nd in my age group, not a bad end to this year's Ironman journey.

The last day before an Ironman race is a bit nerve-wracking but you have to put the nerves aside, and literally get your s#it together.
