Joe, I don't have your email but I wanted you to know how much of an impression you made on me at Ironman Canada (sorry it took so long to respond). You were suffering on the run, you stopped and gave your wife (while she watched you from a wheel chair) a kiss and told her you loved her. More than your impressive Ironman record, that will always be way more meaningful to me than your record. Way to go and remind all of us what should be the important priority in our life. I will never view the Ironman the same after seeing your self less act.
