Ultraman Hawaii

Good luck Jason, down in Hawaii to run the ultraman this weekend! 3 Ironman races, plus the swim and run legs of Ultraman Canada in the past year, culminating to winning his division at ironman world championships this past October. He has trained his mind well for this event.

Jason is striving to be the first AWAD athlete ever to complete the Ultraman. He's certainly ready for the 10k swim and the 224 mile bike shouldnt pose a problem. Running from Hawi, the turn-around at IM hawaii, to Kailua Kona, 56 miles along the highway in the sun, will be the most challenging thing he's ever done however. This will not be easy, and will be the beyond the most difficult thing he's every done.

Send him some positive vibes this weekend, esp Sunday...please everyone.

This race means alot to Jason, as I believe it's become a metaphor for the struggles he's had throughout life. When you think you've had problems...talk to this guy sometime, and you realize it's not ever as bad as it could be.

Yet, Jason has found a road leading to success despite his struggles. He has found himself, and his identity in this sport.

He will finish. He has to...he will get to that finish line.

Jason, its been a long road and we've had our struggles in molding my coaching to your goals and preconceived beliefs on training. I am happy we met that day back in December at IM Western Australia and you've become like a brother to me, and this is why I am harsh on you at times. I dont sugar-coat things, and you know that all to well. This race will be tough and you're going somewhere you've never been...but you've got what it takes. I've seen it more than once.

Good luck Jason. Lay it out there.
