How long is this run?
Two college age kids inquired of Tac around mile 18 on the run.
"26.2"
"This is a Marathon?"
"Yep, which followed a 112 mile bike and a 2.4 mile swim...This is Ironman"
priceless looks and stunned silence
...and Tac is one.
Tac out...and one heck of a race report to follow

This IS an Ironman! And you become iron again!!!!!!!
Way to go!!!!!
You looked good when I saw you coming out of T1 and then out there on the run. It was a perfect day for a stroll around Madison. I was happy to hear from my inquiries while I was working that you finished.
Congratulations!!!
Dooood! Way to go! It was so fun to be there with you!
Yeah Tac!!! Waiting for the report.
Congrats on a great race! It was awesome to meet you this weekend!
Can't wait to hear the rest!!!!
way to go, super hero.
i figured you'd make it when i looked at your transition times ... you spend long enough there that i'm guessing that you listened to a whole Kelly Clarkson CD!
i LOVED watching you cross the finish line.
Congratulations!!! It was so fun to see you and Greyhound at the finish line. Oh, and your kids are adorable in capes :)
After narrowly escaping the hawt and firey wrath of Trimama, Tac Boy and Greyhound continue thier mission of capturing the evil 101-man....
TacBoy: That was a killer bike!
Greyhound: Sure was TacBoy - have you seen our evil nemisis 101-Man yet?
TacBoy: No, but it's still light out..we have time.
Just then 2 college kids run along side TacBoy...
Stoner1: Dude, like, how effing long is this run?
TacBoy: 26 or so miles - say, have you guys seen our evil nemisis 101-Man, perhaps tinkering with the cities power supply?
Stoner2: Sweet! Dude, that's like a way long run...sure I seen the dude - ugly mug on him, over at the power station - there's a gnarly party going on over there...you guys aren't, like, cops are you?
Greyhound: Tac, we need to get over there now!
TacBoy: I agree, my fast, hairy sidekick - take this Gu and follow me!
