CarbKiller: A true athlete

I know, I know but I’m recommending another article. This one is about an elite competitor at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. An Ironman by definition is the male winner of a triathlon consisting of  a 2.4 miles (3.86 km) swim, a 112 miles (180.25 km) bike and a marathon (26 miles 385 yards, 42.195 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. (Female winners are appropriately called IronWomen).

I cannot begin to conceive of what it takes to compete at this level and though I have no interest in doing this myself a friend of mine told me about this article and I wanted to give this guy a hug.

Just as a technical note an “age-grouper” is a competitor who is not competing at the professional open level.
