Just read your Buster Britton report and had to follow you 'back to' Tri-it-on! You rock!

Read the member profile of Joseph Brittan who is a member of our b'ham tri club.

HOLLY WOW!!!!!!

I saw him at the race. I was standing behind another really nice guy who had also had the surgery! He explained who the gentleman was and tols a little of his story.

I have thought about the surgery, I am too a fraid. But, i don't want to die young, so I have to do . . . Just do.

I think a member of your club ran me across the finish line at tri it on. I am not sure, but if it is ever talked about or mentioned, please tell her . . . THANK YOU! It meant a lot and i became emotional about it later that night as I was absorbing what the day was like.

This past weekend hasn't sunk in yet. I don't know how I did it. Actually I do. Bob's Bike guy. He got me through it. Give him all your business because he was a saint.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope to see you guys next year and maybe I will have some results like Joeseph. He looks great, but as with me, the looking great is fine, but the feeling great it so much better.

Chris
