Couldn't do it without you Mom!

Today being Mothers day, I wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge someone. Without them none of this would all be possible. Of course its my mom, Jody Oltman!

Mom I want to say thank you for all the support you have given me, not over the last couple years with my training and races, but everything you have done for me my entire life Without you none of this would be possible, and I just want to say Thank You, and I love you.

Thank you for supporting me in my journey to not only become an Ironman, but adapt to a completely different lifestyle than what I been accustomed to pretty much my entire life. With every race and training day you have been supporting me and encouraging me. Even though I am sure there have been times you have been skeptical when I have signed up for some of these races (and really I am sure everyone has including myself at one point or another) you have never shown it. It hasn't always been easy, but knowing that support is there helps keep me motivated.

You are an amazing mom and for that I love you! I hope you have a great Mothers day!!
