14 Year Old Finishes an "Ironman"

Yes, you read correctly.
He did the race in 13 hrs 41 minutes (he did the race last year in 15:27).

I actually raced side by side with his father during the Ironman run in Lake Placid. I got a great history lesson of Lake Placid during the run. Their family has quite a legacy down there (a figure skating rink named after them, etc.).

Quite an incredible story. I am not sure I'd let me kid do such a race at that age but if they are physically and mentally ready why not I suppose???

Check out the whole story here:
