Thanks guys, it was a fun thing to accomplish.

And Jake, no I'm no tougher than anybody else, you want tough, get this. There is a couple local to me, they are both 56 years old. They have both been invited to compete in Canada's Ultraman competition. I thought Ironman competitors were tough people, and still do, but this couple goes way beyond that. Ultraman is a 6.2 mile swim, then a 90 mile bike ride. Then the next day a 170 mile bike ride, then 52.4 mile run!!!!!

The swim in that alone would kill me, much less any of the rest. And this is a real race, so as fast as they can do it. This one is so long they are allowed and required to have a support team follow them.

Now that's tough!!!
