In Memory of Jim

Regretfully I learned last night that my brother-in-law passed away on Sunday. His death is a reminder of how fragile life is and how we must live life to it's fullest. Training and racing is one of the ways that I truly experience life up-close. I am honored that Jim accepted my Ironman dedication to his life before he passed. And during those long hours of solitude - running, biking and swimming, I'll smile when I think of Jim and how happy he made my sister and those around him.

Jesse,

Sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I offer my condolences to you and your family.

Life is fragile and this is another reminder. Perhaps "deathb4dnf" takes on a deeper meaning now. Your important goal now is to complete Ironman Hawaii in honor of Jim. And, I have no doubt you will.

Chris
