## What Jamie wrote

I didn’t know that Ironman XC existed: a full on VIP approach to doing a half-Ironman event. I've known many people that have done Ironman events. The time and commitment it takes are intense. This white-glove treatment sounds pretty awesome for those that want and can afford it.

I've never done an ironman event, but I have done many long distance cycling events so I get the mental aspect of endurance. I loved this quote:

> Once you’ve pushed your body and mind to race all those miles in a single day, the crises of normal life become speed bumps.

I dunno about speed bumps, but it certainly stretches your limits.
