  • found an old vhs, didn't want to lose this stuff.. long vid, more for my own records, but check it out if you like. filmed summer 2000.
    2 CMBG Iron man held annually in petawawa, ontario, canada.
    race has changed a bit over the years. run in military gear, 42lb pack, first portion about 34 k, next portage with 60/70lb canoe about 5 ish k, then paddle about 7 ish k then run with pack again about 5 or 6 km..
    this race taught me alot about my body. was a fantastic challenge for a young guy :P persistence prevails when all else fails

    You can see where Devon endurance mentality comes from that he carries over to the arm wrestling table. So much is mentally breaking down as well as physically, and clearly he has set himself 'no limits'. You can tell much of his success has been driven from such a supportive wife as well, quite the formidable team.

You people are either extremely tough or extremely crazy. lol I don't know too many other sports that just literally beat your body down the way marathon training does, yet I know people who do it until they're in their middle age years of until their joints just won't hold up to do it any more. I guess I'm a weakling but I'll stick to fitness activities that don't make me literally feel like my feet are going to fall off of my body. :P
