Alive Magazine Article

Recently had a little write up in the July 2013 issue of Alive Magazine. I certainly appreciated being recognized, especially considering the inspiring athletes that were also covered. That said, I think it was written with a bit more drama and high-adventure than I expected. While it's true I was afraid for my life at one point during my first ITI, I wouldn't consider that the highlight of the race. As well, the "running around bare-chested and barefooted" was only a partial quote - which failed to note that I was referring to when I was kid growing up in a somewhat rural part of Missouri. The way it was written it seems as if I was doing it yesterday.
