Master 2033 | Subject: RE: Picture of guy carrying his bike at Kona? Thats the one... Guess you found it before I did... There is another that shows how bent up the bike is... On a side note Cannondale gave that guy a brand new tri bike after the race. |

Extreme Veteran 694 New Haven, CT | Subject: RE: Picture of guy carrying his bike at Kona? Two things that made me love that guy: 1) He said that the only thing going through his head was "my wife is gonna kill me." Apparently the bike was only a few months old. 2) He was so incredibly, obiously pissed at beng the "inspirational human interest story." I loved when they showed him picking up his bike at T2 after the race, and he muttered "what, you still want to see me carrying my bike" at the camera. |

Pro 3705 Vestavia Hills | Subject: RE: Picture of guy carrying his bike at Kona? JoeCoolSMB - 2005-11-03 4:17 AM His name is Chris Sadowski. He was back at Kona this year and finished in 11:11. Pretty impressive. Thanks for posting his name ... I have spent the last 12 hours racking my brain to remember it. I was suprised that there was not more post-race coverage of this guy in that what he did to complete the race embodies the qaulities of what I think it is to be an Ironman: determination, perserverance + raw athletic ability to scrape yourself off of the pavement to finish a race. For thsoe that are not familar with the incident or haven't read it before, here is Chris Sadowski's story in his own words: The True Ironman, Kona 2004 Christian Sadowski, Race # 1390 "In His Own Words" |
