Question for Hairy Legs or other athlete who knows "one arm Larry".
Quote | Reply
There was a Degree Ironman team member racing in Honolulu last weekend who won his age category. He suffered an injury during which he lost his left arm. I got some excellent photos of him and would like to use them on our website but do not know his name to give him credit.

If anyone knows this man's identity please let me know.

Thank you!

Tom,



I believe you may be referring to Willie Stewart, aka "One Armed Willie"

You can confirm this by checking the CAF website and linking to the page of the board of directors, there is a picture of Willie there. I don't have a contact address for him, but you could email emily@challengedathletes.org with your request and she could pass along a contact address for Willie.

Hello there Mike,

Another Slowtwitcher was kind enough to also e-mail me William's name. I bet that is him. I went to the CAF website to confirm it but couldn't find his name. Darn.

Thank you for the assistance though! I think it is him....

As if the triathlon accomplishments were not enough, I beleive, One armed Willie was a state champion in wrestling. I went to the same highschool outside D.C. and graduated about 5 yrs after him.All the kids still talked about what a tough bastard he was. Heck, I wasnt even a wrestler and I had heard the stories, and his name was littered all over the record books. The last I had heard he was playing rugby as well, and you did NOT want to stiff armed by the guy. Amazing what someone can do when they put their mind to it.
