Is one of Jasper Blake's most recent posts, recalling the DST/Guelph experience, including some good olds pics...
Jasper is a Canadian Ironman Champ., and his blog is always good reading - here's a sample...
There's no dribbling; there are no sticks.
There's no passing: I don't get extra points for my outfit.
It's heart; it's lungs; it's persistence; it's patience.
I don't get to sit on the bench and rest.
I don't get a time out to plan my next move.
I don't get orange slices at half time.
It's training smart; it's training hard.

I don't get style points; I don't get a green jacket.
I have to be smart; I strategize.
I check, I double check, and....
I endure...
Jasper, along with some friends, carried his MS stricken Mom, to the 18,000 foot level of Everest. He is a remarkable guy...
