AW: Ironman Hawaii 2009
Schon nen hartes Schicksal was den Schwimmer getroffen hat, der ganz knapp die Cut-Off-Time nicht gepackt hat.
War mNn trotzdem die richtige Entscheidung ihn aus'm Rennen zu nehmen, auch wenn ich sonst für großzügige Auslegung der Regeln bin (allerdings ohne zu Lutschen).
Kyle Garlett was here today celebrating the third year anniversary of his heart transplant.
In October, 2006, as Kyle Garlett was preparing for that heart transplant, he couldn't even walk up a flight of stairs or help carry in the groceries from the car. A four-time cancer survivor, Garlett's heart was weakened after a bone marrow transplant and chemo and radiation therapy that went along with it.
20 years after he was first diagnosed with cancer, Garlett is just thrilled to be alive. He still remembers just hoping to make it to Christmas in 1997 after dealing with yet another bout of cancer.
“Saturday is going to be the exclamation of my survival of cancer and my heart transplant,” he said of his race here in Kona.
