I've been around Chrissie twice while shooting the event. She is a most gracious pro. As the current FULL Ironman female champ and one who finishes in the top ten OVERALL, she truly appreciates the support she receives when she comes here (from England) to compete. Also, let's not forget Andy Potts, the male winner who hung out at the finish signing autographs for all who asked.

Congrats to all who competed. I am a pretty serious runner, but don't swim much at all and don't own a road bike, but covering this event has me thinking of competing next year.
