Thank you everyone for taking the time to help me cheer Marvin on to a glorious finish that we will not soon forget!! Your support and encouragement throughout our Ironman journey continues to make a lasting impression on us, and we certainly feel the love from everyone! Each of your willingness to do whatever it takes to be part of this monumental event is priceless and much appreciated.

And kudos to our highly spirited IronGlee Club Leader Tony Abisia and the rest of the amazing Ironfamily Team Abisia for contributing your superior cheering skills, getting us to the photo op locations safely, and taking the awesome pics/video of this historical and monumental event that will certainly be remembered now and cherished in the years to come :-)

While the distances are truly mind-boggling what’s even more mind boggling is witnessing your extraordinary transformation, remarkable courage and determination to stay committed and focus on balancing multiple life role responsibilities as a loving and protective husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend.

And though you were coaching yourself for the Ironman which occurred at the same time during our Nike Marathon training program, you made priority to coach athletes from different levels to help us achieve our own Ironman finish and brilliantly designed and launched our team’s inaugural clothing apparel with the Team Abisia Endurance Racing shirt. And the cool part is I know that you are only getting started :-)

You are and will continue to be an inspiration to all of us. Your light shines radiantly as an example of living life to the fullest, you are amazing beyond amazing.

You create your own music and encourage us all to have the unquestionable willingness to elevate our life of greater joy and meaning. You are my rock, inspire me to be better, and challenge me for the better. I love you and looking forward to many more crazy adventures together! :-)
