Matt: Today I read your story and tears came to my eyes, I saw the interview before the race with
you and others and your are an”IRONMAN”, you did the distance + 3 minutes. Today I introduce 26
members of the YMCA in Weston to the Triathlon
Life that I have been living for some 13 years.
Matt, its the journey of memories doing the race
that matters. I have completed three inronman racaes, including ITU World in Denmark at age 51
for TEAM USA, I will never give up the sport, its
my life style. Today 26 members did their first Tri
and the finish life memories I’ll never forget the
look on there faces. Believe they are hooked now
and will join the Y Tri- Club in formed last year.
I will have every new Triathlete read this articel.
My friend John Mayer 73 years yound finished
that race with you- you did finish- forget the time
and cherish the memories. U go get them next
year. I plan to do Kona 2011 at age 62 and I will
hang my ironman hat up – five will be enough.
Keep fit and my God bless you and your family.
“The Brain is a powerful instrument” use it well
it took me to many finish lines”
Congrats!
