Rollin’ 56… Heading out on the 13.1 mile run leg… A great day is any day you can do 3 sports!
Before a chilly early November morning start… Out on the bike alone… The Manning “handlers” along with Melissa (swim partner), Bob (bike escort) and Mike at the finish…
B2B Afterward —So what did I learn? A good friend of mine once told me “great things happen only when they are supposed to happen.” If adversity teaches us to appreciate accomplishment then my two year roller coaster ride to the start (and finish) of…
