Iron Men

Saturday, during that pile of crap called a football game, Marc and I had an interesting experience. We met Ironman Scott Rigsby. There were two Ironmen in the same room - and we weren't at a race!

Scott is a UGA grad and a double leg amputee. When he was 18, he was in a pretty terrible traffic accident. One leg was immediately amputated, and he lost the other one later due to complications from the accident.

And y'all, he runs marathons. And competes in Ironman triathalons. I have both legs and could only compete in couch sitting and internet surfing.

He is an inspiring man and I was so glad we got a chance to talk with him.
