Iron Man
A friend of mine competed in an Iron Man Triathlon over the weekend and finished 32nd over all. 5th in his age group! He has now qualified for the Koan Iron Man in Hawaii this spring.
His amazing feat and Rick’s last post, got me thinking about the number of calories burned during an Iron Man. So I did a little calculating. By my estimates, if I were to complete an Iron Man in under 11 hours, I would burn 13425 calories. I know there is no way I would be able to complete an Iron Man but hyopthetical speaking, 13425 calories in 10 hours? That is insane!
To put it into perspective, last week from Friday to Wednesday I only ate 11261 calories.
So next time you see a triathlete nearing the finish line, don’t give them a tiny paper cup filled with water, give them a ham and cheese hoagie with the works. They need it!
Speaking of Iorn Man, check out the Bad Plus version of Iorn Man sometime. You’ll be amazed at how well Black Sabbath translates to jazz.

Dude…I wanna know what else is on your iPod. That’s pretty killer.
Send me a bio some time, I don’t know if you were on board when I sent out that email. Just a few paragraphs that I can put on our “Meet us” page.
