Endurance is No Joke

I'm a little sad this afternoon. An Ironman contender has died after being pulled from the waters of Ironman Florida. You can find the article here. Take nothing for granted my friends.

These stories always hit home, we tend to think we're invicible the stronger we get in our training...

My thoughts and prayers will be with his family and friends.

Stories about these make you wonder. Did the person train enough? Did they have some unknown heart defect? Or could this happen to anyone?

I suppose if you're going to die, there are worse ways to go than doing something you really love.

A good reminder to all of us - we are only promised today. Make it count.
