And that's about all I have to say, other than to tell you that this whole journey of the past year was in my mind a testament to the human spirit and a testament to family and friends. They are in essence one and the same. I am very proud of myself today for this thing, but even prouder of all those who dared to love me, and dared to believe in me. Historically that has not been an easy task because I've been an asshole for a good part of my life. Today I don't feel so much like an asshole. Today I feel special! Today I am an Ironman! My Subaru Ironman Canada official finishing time was 11:36:54. Maybe you'll find the proof here. Just enter bib # 1841. Take that world! Take that cancer!
More tomorrow. Right now I need to try to eat and then I'm gonna have a beer. Maybe two!
love

Did you realize that you came in 5th in your group in the run? That was some powerful mojo in those shoes!!!
Peter. Kudos Buddy. Job well done. I know it was more of a journey then anything else but the final results can't be ignored. Ecellent time! I hope you can recover in time to come with Burt and I to the TO Marathon on Oct.18th. The room is on us!
Hey Peter,
Just remember, we love you when you are an asshole too.
