Age 43 Gold Challenge Complete for Coach Adam...but just barely

[Coach Adam]

On July 26th, I took the plunge, literally and succumbed to Roman's sadism. I did the 4-mile swim as part of the Swim Across America, got stung 5 times by jelly fish and raised $500 in one week on Twitter in the process, ran 3 miles, and then proceeded to ride/survive a hilly 43-mile bike ride. In all completing my B-fit, B-Day, or so I thought...

I'm still breathing into a brown paper bag so I haven't yet had time to write up the report on my blog, but for those who have done it or are thinking about doing it, you might be interested in my pre-B-fit, B-Day blog posting at www.racewithpurpose.org/coachadam.

I'm sure I'll write things up as soon as work quiets down later this week. Oh, by the way, Roman, my girlfriend hates you for ruining my birthday FOR HER! Go figure.

Adam, congratulations on winning the Rudy Project TT Helmet! You certainly earned it by raising money for charity and by posting a lively, entertaining race report. ... And let's not discount your perseverence to complete the gold challenge while enduring the torture of your girl friend!

Congrats!
