ED. Last week we got a couple of emails from triathlete/bodybuilder Walt Johnson, who is in his 60s and races in a Speedo. While this is to be discouraged for most sixty-genarians, Walt is an exception to the rule because he is a total stud, and a very, very cool guy.
Here are his minimally edited emails and some great photos:
Hi Jerry - I thought about your great joking around at triathlons . It sure is a hoot hearing my name called describing speedo swim suit .

Have had shoulder surgery both sides , back problems, leg DVT recently. No triathlons as a result . Last good season was 2010 placed several times . Hope your doing well . Walt Johnson

This morning Pro-Triathlete Andy Potts posted something about how you need to love to train.
It said; “Love to train, Everyone loves to race. You gotta love to train. The daily quest for self improvement and the constant drive knowing that you can and will get better.”
That quote simply made me come alive!! Because as many of us I love to race I truly love all about racing. Seeing my friends in transition, the excitement and thrill of competition and that taste of success!
But in order for us to expierence all of those things we must train and we must find passion and love in training. The no glory hours spent in your...

Miami 70.3 Race Report - It’s always easier to write a race report for a race where everything clicks. But all races - especially the tough ones - provide an opportunity for growth and are just as important to reflect on. Ironman Miami 70.3 was an incredible experience and a lot of fun, but I definitely feel like I left behind some unfinished business.
First a little background.
