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.
Today Garlett didn't make the swim cut off. He was just interviewed at the swim finish and put it all in perspective ... he's here and alive, which is an incredible achievement in and of itself.
Sollten sich gewisse hier manchmal nicht zu weit aus dem Fenster lehnen...
... aber auch amüsant, daß jemand mit 2:20 auf 3,8 bei 'ner WELTMEISTERSCHAFT antritt ...
Er war also nicht 4s zu spät, sondern mindestens eine Stunde ...

4sek von 2h20
wenn ich so eine Pfeife wäre und um diese 4 Sekunden bangen müsste, täte ich Halma spielen

der arme Kerl, der gerade wegen 4s aus dem Rennen genommen wurde, hat gerade erst eine Krebserkrankung durchgemacht. Man sollte eine Leistung, egal wie schnell oder langsam sie ist auch immer aus dem individuellen Kontext betrachten.
der hier hat den swim cut off auch nicht geschafft:
