Thanks for your interest in improving Ironman Triathlon. However, pasting in articles that you have written for other purposes is not always a good way to go about improving an article. Adding large amounts of text that aren't integrated with the rest of an article makes it hard to read, and may include redundant information. Also, Wikipedia articles are not written from a personal point of view. I'm going to remove the text you've added, but that doesn't mean it's gone forever. Every page has a page history, where old versions can easily be obtained. Regards - and big congratulations for finishing the Ironman! FreplySpang (talk) 15:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
