He had already finished the 1,500-meter swim and 40-kilometer bike ride portions of the New York City Triathlon and was just steps away from finishing the 10-kilometer run when he reached the end of physical endurance. His brother wrote, “The weather that day was very hot and very humid and his body became dehydrated and heat exhaustion set in. He had to crawl across the finish line because he had expended every last ounce of energy he had.” [Read the rest of this article...] Site Administrator posted on September 12, 2008 16:06
