Here are the amazing things some of you have told me throughout the season -- the phrases and motivation that anchor me to the Cause and to keep reaching toward my Goals.

Thank you for being such an inspiration -- you've really expanded my definition of what's possible in life. -Lynn H.

It's for a great cause and I'm proud to know someone doing so much towards it. You're going to do it, you're going to be great, and then I can expect your emails to me to be signed as 'Iya, IronWoman'. -Jeff M.

Congrats on setting such a lofty goal!! It really says something about you. I am soo excited for you! -Mike C.

I admire you so much for taking this on. It says a lot about your character, and I'm very proud of you. I am behind you every lap, spin, and step of the way. -Megan C.

You are an inspiration day in and day out! I wish you the best of luck and have total faith that you will be amazing and put forth everything you have in you. Team in Training and your new IronTeam are lucky to have someone like you with them. -Ryan C.

You have an infectiously good attitude and it's going to pay off throughout the season and at Louisville. -Simon M.

Hang in there... be patient... and know there are a lot of folks out here pulling for you and cheering you on from the sidelines!! -Russ P.

You are absolutely inspiring and I truly admire your perseverance and strength. -Christine D.

You inspire me with your Iron Spirit. Please keep up with it. As you have shown you have the mental fortitude and spirit to go long... all 140.6 miles on your race day. And the lack of this mental "Iron Spirit", which you have revealed lies within you, is where most of the non-finishers will come up short. Great job, Maria. -Frank A.

Maria, you are truly amazing! Not only for taking on this incredible feat but for allowing yourself to learn from each and every experience and to share that with all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue this journey and in my heart I'm cheering you on every step of the way! -Oriana W.

When I have a tough day, I take a second and read what you do on a daily basis. In comparison my day doesn't look that bad. You are an inspiration and I am always amazed by your accomplishments, but not surprised. -Rich C.
