Accomplishment


Kevin Hess,

YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!
(FYI - this means he swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles and ran 26.2 all at once)


I know it was not the race you dreamed of or trained for, but we are so proud of you for running through the pain of a separated shoulder (drunk drivers are so lame). Quitters never win and winners never quit - I knew you'd never quit and I know you are a winner!

You are an IRONMAN!
