From the deepest part of my heart I thank you all so much for your comments and emails and for taking the time to track me during the race. I felt your vibes right down to my bones and crossing the finish line was for you, a little bit for me but mostly for my dad. Cancer took his body 2 years ago but his spirit and energy is always with me and he finished Ironman Zurich with me.
Huge hugs and tons of affection to you all for being there in your own way.
I traveled a few days in south and central Switzerland and I just returned to the USA last night and my body clock is still on Zurich time. I'm composing a post that will include deep thoughts, a race report, photos, and general Switzerland stuff. Give me a couple days and check back.
Again, thank you.
Truly, thank you.

Congratulations. I didn't know about your father. I'm sure you made him quite proud. I will be eagerly awaiting your full race report.
Well done, sir.
That's a perfect picture of you with your dog. And I almost teared up in reading about your dad. Can't wait to see the race report.
