Good luck to those participating in Big Shoulders and Ironman WI (and any other events) this weekend. May you be rewarded for your efforts with personal bests and complete satisfaction.
Leave nothing in the tank!
Go get 'em!

ps. I'll be volunteering at the morning clothes bag drop Sunday morning. If you see me, I'll give a shout out along with free hugs. :)
