"You are an Ironman!" Those are the words the announcer said to daren at 12:09. Yall will never understand how amazing it is to see these athletes finish this amazing race until you've seen it for yourself. Daren did say a few words when he finished. I got a smile out of him too! He talked about how difficult the bike was...going 6 mph up the hill and then 40 mph down. He's in such good spirits to be done! Thank you everyone for watching the blog today. It means so much to daren to have all of yall supporting him. You've now heard my perspective of the race and I'm guessing daren will give you his when he can actually think straight. Now to go watch for Michael to finish. He wasn't doing well at all...vomiting for a couple of hours and walking the majority of the marathon. Hopefully it's getting better and he will finish soon. He told me that he would finish and that he was having a beer afterwards no matter what!
