Introducing IronmanAaron's Blog
Welcome to this thing called Aaron's Journey. Please follow as I preapre for another season of Swimming, Cycling and Running, all with Diabetes on board. 2012 should be an awesome year.
Hello Aaron, First off, I want to say you sound like a very interesting man. I am truely inspired by all you have done! Your accomplishments are ones that an average human would think of as a challenge. However, you seem to be the individual who would look it as only a "step" towards another goal in life! Very impressive! Keep up the good attitude, it will only inspire others to be as good of a person as you seem to be!!!
My name is Tim Jacobs and like yourself I am an Ironman finisher. (Kona 1997, Lanzarote 1998, Ironman Florida 1999) I know first hand all the hard training hours you put in to become an Ironman. I dont know what is like living with diabetes. To date I have researched and found that less than 10 African American males have finished and Ironman distance triathlon. I know there must be more. I have an idea that I need to discuss with you. Please email when you get the opportunity. Train safe!
