Check out my buddy, Jake, at the Great Floridian Triathlon. Don't worry, you won't have to look too far down the list, since he was the second person across the line. I guess when I call him the fastest person I know, I can really back it up now.
Coming back from the car accident, with a titanium pin in his hip; training through his medical school residency; appearing in his first Iron distance race; these things couldn't slow him down. He's like the bionic man. We can rebuild him, we have the technology.
And just so you know, these was a time (years ago, before he got serious), that I could put the wood to him on the bike. But now, after all those years in the West Texas winds and the mountains of Colorado, I'd be lucky to hold his wheel for 5 minutes.
I couldn't be more proud, kid. You've fought tooth and nail for every bit of that performance. Now let it be the start of an amazing string of results. You've proven you've got the goods, go cash 'em in.
