A Home Front Hero Steps Up ...

Tim Nydegger It was a slow weekend afternoon during my fourth grade year and I was scanning through the TV channels looking for something to watch. While searching, I stopped at the sight of a man swimming through the ocean while pulling a raft with someone on board. An hour later the program ended and I learned that this was the story of the Ironman World Championships
and of a father’s love for his son. This father pulled and pushed his disabled son through the
rigorous 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run that comprises an Ironman Triathlon. I may have
been an 11-year old with outrageous dreams, but I knew that slow weekend afternoon that I, too, would
one day compete in an Ironman Triathlon. |
