Wow, that's impressive to put it lightly and makes me feel pretty worthless at the same time.......great to see a guy accomplish so much regardless.

In the same vein, here is an article about my friend's father-in-law, who does triathlons in his upper 70s. Often, he finishes last...dead last, but everyone comes back hours later to cheer him to the finish line. He's a cancer survivor, runs on a bad knee, and is also a former governor of South Dakota. Quite a story...

And a video of him coming in just under the 17-hour cutoff for Iron-Man triathlons (notice the crowd!):
