Twas the night before weekend, and all through downtown,
Madisonians were excited, with nary a frown;
The tri bikes were safe and secure in their racks,
And the athletes were sound asleep on their backs;
The wetsuits and special needs bags are all set,
You should have everything you need so don’t fret;
Countless laps in the pool and century rides done,
And miles upon miles run ‘round the lakes (oh what fun!)
So sleep tight E3ers, I know you’ll do great,
Tomorrow you’re gonna crush it and I cannot wait!
On Ali Blackmore, Storm Michael, Emma Garton, on Bill Beuthin, Eric Anderson, Jack Siegel, on Jake Schneider and Jason Landretti;
Now Katie Puls and Katie Kulchytskyy. now Kristina Rieves Nardi, Ritika Shrivastav, Go Laura Galliher, Go Luis Quintero, Go Marissa Wilson, Mary Rothenberger, swim Natasha Jones, bike Steve Smith;
Run Bobby Gingerich; crush it CJ Penkert, Caitlyn Marie, Chris Lawson and Gary Groelle! Go get’em Jake Onken, Jaxon VandenBrook, Jeff Miller and Kristin Jean! Now finish strong Regan Albee, Ryan Albee, Taylor Jackson, Dee Fussel and Joel P Becker!

Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

We’ve trained you well, you will all kill this course; No need to dwell! I’d say good luck but you won’t need it, we will all be there every step of the way, to watch you complete it!

We are incredibly proud of Jaxon’s resilience over the past 2 years and watching him show so much fight as he worked to get back into shape to train for Ironman has been inspirational! Getting to the starting line is a win within itself. Great job Jaxon! Someone must've been cutting onions nearby when I watched the story. What an incredible inspiration for us all this weekend (and beyond)!

Jaxon VandenBrook was a freshman at UW-Madison training for the Ironman when his life changed in an instant.
