09/11/2007: "A Big Shout Out"
It has been about a year since I did a couple of triathlons in Monterey and Santa Cruz. I sure miss not being able to workout and play in a few competitions. These days it is difficult for me to climb a set of stairs without oxygen, so to think about making it through a triathlon is daunting. Instead of getting out there for runs and bike rides on the road, I spend my time taking it slow, reading, writing and painting.
So I want to give a big shout-out of congratulations to my Gotta Tri partner Tim (The Big Kahuna) Landeck for completing his first ˝ Ironman this past weekend. That is a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run. It is quite an experience to make it though a half marathon after climbing out of the ocean and racing 56 miles on a bike. You spend much of your time talking to your legs and convincing them that the finish line isn’t much further.
Tim knows I am with him in spirit – wish I were with him in body. I love you man! Congats!
