I am a big Chuckie V fan. I remember when he won Ironman Canada in 1999, I thought that this race was his "triumphant return". Unfortunately, less than 2 months later it was followed by his Kona DQ. I don't think that he's ever been the same?!?!

His coaching blog was GREAT! I wish that it was archieved somewhere to still review.

I hate to hear of his mental health issues. My father suffered from mental health issues for the last 40 years of his life. The general public has no idea how a brilliant dynamic person can turn reclusive and withdraw from society. Unfortunately, I saw it happen to my father right in front of my eyes. I do not know the specifics of Chuckie V's condition, but I wish him the best and hope that he is doing well.
