“I want her to be remembered by someone who is worth being remembered by. I think about my little niece and the example a man should set for a child. Sometimes I think about girls who have broken my heart.”

Is that a picture of you crossing the finish line at the Ironman? What IM is that?

Ironman 2005, 2 x 2007, 2008, 2009, Ultrarunner, and Adventure Racer.

Got to love those rodies and their opinion of IM. Imagine HInault getting off the bike and then running a sub 3 hour marathon. The IM pros ride and run alone, often for 138.2 miles. Try doing that in 90 degree heat, 80 degree humidity, and tropical force winds. We could go on and on about who are the best athletes. Frankly, try running 100 miles in in Colorado (i.e. Leadville and Hardrock), or 135 at Badwater, or multiday adventure racing around the clock for 5 + days.

The point being, challenges are relative. Accomplishments are individual. Demeaning attitudes – very unmanly.

Ironman 1998
If you can make it through the training and the time that takes, the race is anti-climaxtic.
