Introducing Abigail Marie Ancona
Just this wednesday Rich asked me when my world was going to change ... it happen sooner than expected!
Theresa and I had all kinds of ideas for this post, such as baby's first race report or IMWI 2028 roll call, but Abigail is just way too cute so I would rather hold her than spend time thinking of something creative...sorry!
Abigail decided to join us almost 2 full weeks early and caught us off gaurd. We were shooting for a 17 hour finish time 
, but Abigail decide she wanted to make mom work for a full 24 hours.
Mother and baby are doing great, except being up for over 36 hours is starting to catch up with all of us... and this is only the begining.

Congratulations to you and Theresa! And Welcome to little miss Abigail!
Congrats!!! She's very cute!
And as my father told me when my first girl was born...."when you have a boy, all you have to watch is that one boy. But when you have a girl, you have to watch all the boys."
Good luck...you'll be great parents.
Huge congratulations to you both! We're so happy for you! She's quite perfect!

Matt,
Congratulations on the addition to the family. I know going to Kona in October would make me smile.

She's about as cute as they get (and I've seen 1,000s of newborns). You guys look so proud and happy. Can't wait to see her toddling/crawling down Ali'i this October.
Congrats Matt & Theresa
Matt,
That's tremendous news! Congratulations to you and Theresa. Wishing you the best.

Abigail’ first show of a fondness for endurance efforts says she has a bunch of your genes!. The IM records set by Chrissie wellington will fall!
