70-year-old Texas Ironman competes to honor grandson

This is a nice story that I read today in the Plano Insider. It's about George Amundson who has been competing in triathlons since 1999 and trains year-round. Amundson was selected by lottery to be in the 2009 Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii and will compete in honor of his grandson, William Amundson, who died in Afghanistan in 2004.
