Dedications

Ironman Wisconsin 2006 is almost here. Along the way, I have been fortunate to hear about the experiences of some folks making the same journey to Madison. I've thrown together a few songs here in their honor.

RunBubbaRun:



Unwritten, by Natasha Bedingfield.
He's upgrading his Man Card to an IronMan Card.


TriTeacher:



Born to Run, by Bruce Springsteen.
Anyone who likes mile repeats was born to run.

xt4:



Right Now, by Van Halen.
He has broken down and analyzed this race so thoroughly. He's more than ready for the things he can't control that Ironman will be throwing at him.

Pharmie:



Seven Nation Army, by The White Stripes.
She's listed The White Stripes as one of her favorite musical artists. Nothing's going to hold her back on race day.

Rob:



Mama Said Knock You Out, by LL Cool J.
He's an Ironman veteran who had a rough day at IMCdA in June, but is coming back this year to race at IM WI. He's going to TKO that race in a few days.

Chris:



Beautiful Day, by U2.
The past two years he has braved the elements to finish strong at IM WI. This year, I have no doubt he's got a PR.

Iron Wil:



Time of Your Life, by Greenday.
Wil has been a source of inspiration for me all year long. I don't know how she does the things she does.

TriSaraTops:



The Adventure, by Angels and Airwaves.
I've enjoyed following her amazing adventure. It has been a privilege for me to be a part of it.

Me (aka qcmier):



Crazy Train, by Ozzy Osbourne
I've been riding a crazy train.

I know there will be more than 2000 other folks who will be making the journey to IM WI. Everyone has a story to tell. They're all heroes.



And for all those who have been walking with me.



Thank You.
