I’ll be spending much of today watching the Kona Ironman world championships stream. As I’ve learned before, watching an ironman is a serious effort that requires real commitment. It’s a ridiculously strong field (it is the world championships) but my boy Jasper Blake is going in with a peak year’s training behind him, some substantial successes and last I heard, and a strong body and a strong head. And I don’t think there’s a human being on the planet who can beat him on shear gruesome suffering-it-out. That guy’s got more tin than Indonesia. This being Kona, that might come in handy.
