"Man, I love this thing" - it shows! Duane and Jess, thanks for sharing your clip.

Any particular reason there's no link to Duane's blog? I'm sure a lot of people would like to follow his journey to SOMA!

You go, Duane. Awesome. This was so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story.

Nytro

Wow! Congratulations, Duane! That was soooo inspiring! Thanks for making me take a look at what triathlon really is about!

Kt

I am sending this to my dad to motivate him. I can't wait to get out and train more. Don't have to be the fastest, just get it done!

Jay

This is a major lifestyle change. I love it! Whether 400lbs or 150lbs, it took commitment, dedication, and discipline. OUTSTANDING! This is a no-brainer add to my favorite blogs. Keep it up.

Laurie

Thank you for sharing such an emotional story. I got teary-eyed just reading your story. Watching your triathlon finish moved me to tears. Thank you for showing that triathlon is not just for the people in the best of shape. It is for everyone who dares to dream. You truly are an inspiration.

Duane

Thanks for all your encouragement! When I started in to this triathon journey, I did not know there was such a great community and so much support. I so look forward to the coming years in this sport and getting to know as many of you as possible!
Sincerely, Duane

Rainbow

I LOVE IT!!! You're story makes me glad when I am able to stay until the last racer comes through. Being someone who is never first, I feel that the last people to cross have the greater victory. I feel this in my heart.

Also, maybe it is just my opinion, but I think that the moment you set your sights on triathlon and started training for your first race you were already a triathlete.

I truly look forward to hearing about your further triumphs.

Veeg

ROCK. ON. DUANE!!!

Seriously, this is just so awesome and inspiring. :)

TriZilla

Duane - Done like a champion. Seriously. No Excuses is exactly what you did, and exactly what I needed to be reminded. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us - It was inspiring and motivating for me to reach for the stars. I can't wait to follow your journey as you become a 1/2 Ironman (my goal for next year as well!)! Keep up the great work!

fe-lady

Thanks for leading me to Duane...he sure deserves to be on the team! Will enjoy following him and the rest of you guys!

Jess Hogue

We all want to be a part of something amazing! The only thing that stops us from being part of something truly amazing are the excuses we tell ourselves about why we can't. Duane ran into countless obstacles mental and physical while training to be in his first triathlon but he continued to make excuses to do it instead of not to do it. I have to say this is the first time I have ever cried at a tri. Seeing Duane reach the goal that he wanted so much and worked so hard for is aweinspiring. I have been a part of something amazing!

Jess

jeanne

Crying. CRYING! That is the most inspiring awesome thing I've ever seen. EVER. Somebody TELL ME that Duane isn't as inspiring as one of the frontrunners. As inspiring as an elite athlete. SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT. I dare you.

Duane: You just changed a few lives, dude.

Linae

Duane, your video had the same effect on me as watching the Hoyt videos or the You Tube video from Ironman Florida. You are pure inspiration. I cried. You've been added to my bloglines monitoring group. It will be awesome to follow your progress.

Andy Murtha

Duane, you are the man! I was only able to watch your video today, but I read the story a few days ago! You truly are an inspiration to all of us out there who want to meet some goal on some personal level that we want to achieve. You are the proof that anything can be accomplished! The will, the heart and the strength (both physical and mental) that it took to get you to this level, and take you past it gives me the feeling that I can do anythihng I want to do. I just need to take the drive that you have and apply it to my life. Thank you again for sharing your personal story, and I look forward to hearing about your continued progress towards your goals.

Murtha...
