A Word from the wife

Well I guess it is almost time for the big show. I think back to last year,  volunteering at the aide station with Andy, the kids and the rest of the amazing TA crew. I remember watching Andy every time a runner came past from Crowie to Barney, the look on his face said it all, I knew then and there we would be back again the following year but I also knew it wouldn't be as volunteers. I must admit I had some reservations....... although not all of them centred around the sheer cost of this mission (luckily for us and thanks to Tri alliance Andy won his spot) The rest of my reservations centred around the distance. Over the last 12 months my amazing husband has more than proved to me and everyone else that he has got what it takes, not only that but his sheer determination and unyielding stubbornness is sure to see him through.
    Our journey to IM Melbourne is almost over, I say ours because I wouldn't want to be
 anywhere but by his side as he pushes himself to his limits to make his dream come true. I can't speak highly enough of the awesome team at Tri Alliance. They have encouraged and guided him and their faith in him has never wavered.
    A few months ago for our anniversary Andy wrote a blog all about us, well now its all about you. Go out and take the glory that you have worked so hard for, swim like a fish, ride like the wind and just remember one foot in front of the other all the way to the end. No matter what I will be there at the finish line with open arms ready to celebrate your amazing achievement with you. You are an amazing father, a wonderful husband and an exceptional human being, but above all else you are my hero. I love you.
