20% Man 80% Machine




Dennis never ceases to amaze me! He just started running a couple of years ago and has done so many triathlons and races since.  He even took first place for his age group in the Ogden Valley Tri!  He has been going to the gym every day and is now comfortably swimming 2 miles (at a time) a few times each week.  He really wants to do a full Ironman event.  He has done a couple half Ironman Tri's but I think he will never be satisfied until he does a full.  I just don't know where he gets the energy to do all that he does.  He works out from 5am until 6:30 or 7 am., goes to work and does what most would do in 2 or 3 days in 1 day.  Then he comes home, grabs a bite to eat, does his church responsibilities and then goes back to gym after kids go to bed.  He rarely gets to bed before 11 pm or midnight and yet he somehow has the strength to repeat this schedule over and over.  I have come to the conclusion he is part machine!! I sure do love and admire him:)

Congrats Dennis! He is a machine I swear and his siblings all are too! I told Rick and he was like "man" Rick works out and runs 2-5 miles a day but that is about all he can manage. I don't think iron runs in our blood!
