Do you need inspiration?
Monday- off
Tuesday- 21miles- 3:39 trails
Wed- off
Thursday- 7 miles on TM
Inspiration??? Look no further: Sarah Reinertsen (her Blog), Amputee Triathlete (her page)
She is the first above knee amputee to complete Kona's Ironman triathlon. And recently has been shown on the TV show The Amazing Race and in a Lincoln car commercial. Very amazing person...an amputee since age 7. Her picture from the cover of Triathlete magazine is framed and on the wall in the clinic where I work helping amputee's learn how to walk using prosthetic legs.
