Showing character(blood and sweat)

[Adrian van Ammers]

Here is a tribute to a young sportsman, a friend of my son. They share their love for triathlon. Don't watch this if you can't see a little blood.

Here he is on his bike. BTW these are 828 shots.

Running. Everything looks fine but watch his left foot :)

And then he took of his shoe, OMG, look at this. This happened when he changed from biking to running. And he refused to step out. Now that's showing character, huh?

A true competitor. I like stories like this more than that pre-packaged, its now a show instead of sport, ESPN high light reel crap. Thanks for sharing.
