Bryan,
The story about you and your mother would be great for one of the personal interest stories on NBC. Athough there is nothing wrong with it, I think the story of the disabled athlete competing in this event is getting rather old.

Thanks everybody, it's a thrill for me too.
I appreciate that, Rob. I have been trying to get her story out there along with me in an effort to try and raise some sponsorship. Last year my company, UBS Financial Services, gave me $1000 to race and I'm hoping to land some bigger fish this year for Kona if I can, so all the press helps. Here are 2 links to form last year where I talked about her and her story as she tells it:

Stories like this act like a reset button on my "life's perspective" settings.
There are days when I want to gripe about some petty issues like a coworker being given an office better than mine and stories like these come accross my screen and into my head straight into my heart.
When I want to whine about a stiff ankle from a recovering sprain, I hear about vertebraes being fused and being thought dead after an accident to overcoming all of life's excuses to complete tris.
When I started this sport, it was an experiment in selfishness - which very well may be for many others. But along the way, I picked up these stories and they invigorate me more than any myth, legend, or religion. As a religious person myself, that's a little embarassing to admit, but it is true and I can't deny that.
This sport has definitely transcended my expectations as a merely physical activity.
