		<description>Thank you for posting! This truly captures the emotion of an Ironman! I recently completed my first half Ironman in Austin, TX. and this has inspired me to go for the full 140.6!</description>

		<description>Thank you for Sage&#039;s interview!  I will be competing in my first Ironman, also Coeur d&#039;Alene, in June 2010.  It&#039;s encouraging to see first-timers finish so strong and happy!</description>

		<description>Thanks for this inspiring article.  I have just completed my first season of triathlon, sprint distance only.  My goal was to do one before I turned 50, but did 2 and then 2 more - I am hooked.  Thinking of longer distances and this article has definitely inspired me to step up my distances and training. Thanks!</description>

		<description>I did my first Ironman at Coeur d&#039;Alene in 2006, I&#039;ve had two little girls since and can&#039;t wait to do another one.  It was an amazing experience and a fantastic site, the people were great (volunteers, athletes and cheering fans).  Reading your experience takes me back and makes me itch even more to do it again, thanks for sharing!

Oh, and if any of you are contemplating an Ironman, check out the book - &quot;Becoming an Ironman&quot;, it&#039;s a collection of first time Ironman stories.</description>
