I ran through a deluge this week; nearly got my foot stuck in a ditch; and unwittingly held my own personal wet t-shirt contest. But that is child's play compared to what Ironman triathletes put themselves through just to make it into the pool of competitors. NBC will be airing some of the 2008 action today, Saturday, December 13, 2008, 2:30 - 4:30 p..m. EST. Meanwhile, if you have Iron dreams of your own, be sure to get yourself a pair of shoes that will take you through puddles (and even a pond or two) with comfort and ease. These Vasque shoes are a great choice for guys, like cancer-survivor and triathlete Sean Swarner.
