Yesterday, my friend, Maritza Dominguez became an Iron(wo)man. She completed Ford Ironman Florida.
Her sister, Ariana and I are really good friends. Ariana was at the race supporting her. She kept everyone in the loop via text and facebook. It was so fun the get the updates. Tulio was in a wedding yesterday, so I couldn't make it to Florida to cheer her on. Every time I would get a text message I would get goose bumps and I would just feel so much pride to know that one of my friends was on her way to complete 140.6 miles.
It was a tough journey towards the end of the race for Maritza but she did it! She finished! She persevered!
When I finally received that message that she was done, I got very emotional and went the bathroom to let out a few tears. I was so proud of her! I'm still proud of her! She did something that many people can not imagine doing.
What an amazing accomplishment!
"Maritza Dominguez, you are an Ironman!"
