Jennifer Hanley-Pinto

Any hint of Wednesday's practice might bring??????

Hi Jennifer,I believe that you are the one who gave me your CO2 and adapter on the bike course during the race in Kona when I got a flat tire and couldn't inflate the spare tire using my CO2.I remembered your race number, 1640 and found your name on this web site of athlinks.I would apologize you if you feel uncomfortable that I sought you in the internet.I want to say thank you one more time because I couldn't express my thanks to your help and fellowship as much as I should have on the bike. Thank you so much, Jennifer! Without your help, my race might have been different and miserable, rather I was pretty happy at the finish line with heart-filled emotion and thanks to you.I hope you had your good race in Kona. I learned from you that ironman involves such important aspect as fellowship. We sometimes forget how important it is because we always tend to just chase how fast and how good we are. Cutting our finish time by ten minutes or even one minute is always challenging and dreaming of it is always fun, but behind them there is a fact that we are a part of this sport like everybody else which lets us to chase the dream and attracts us to keep being involved.I still have your CO2 adapter with me here. I can send it to you if you let me know your posting address, otherwise I will see you again in Kona next year and give it back to you.Hiro HikoiHayama, Kanagawa, Japane-mail: ironhiro@sf6.so-net.ne.jp
