Subject: Road to Kona - Balazs Csoke
I have the privilege of swimming with Balazs on a regular basis and today he was interviewed by KHOU Channel 11 here in Houston. Back in July he qualified as pro for the Ironman World Championships. He's one of about 50 pro men that will be racing in October in Kona.

I was the volunteer "sherpa" for the morning. You can find a couple shots from the the filming they did with him here:

He has an inspiring story from growing up in Hungary before the fall of the Iron Curtain to recently being granted a Green Card to live and train in the US. I'm looking forward to cheering him on in Kona in a couple weeks as he goes up against a stacked pro field. It's going to be a good time.
