First of all, that's awesome. One of my favorite things about triathlon is how it attracts people who want to overcome great odds.

Second of all, the dude beat 35 people. That's amazing. It would kind of suck to finish behind him, but more power to him.

Oh yeah, and it sounds like the dude's hilarious. Great story, go 'gate.

A flipper??? ;)

Joking obviously... :) Impressive what some people are able to overcome when they put their mind to it.

When I first saw this post, I was thinking about all those jokes that are around
"what do you call a man with no arms and legs that....."
Then I opened the link and read the article and this guy tells people those jokes.
I loved the part when he played the prank with the fake blood on his stumps and his friend was wielding a chainsaw. This dude has a great sense of humor!! ;-D

Team Bob does indeed ROCK!!

Nothing to it, but to do it
