I think it's a lil strange that the winner of the Degree "Everyman Ironman"
1. didn't own a bike until he won and Degree bought him one.
2. has only done ONE triathlon in his life, in 2000 (borrowed bike).
3. didn't even know who Paula Newby-Fraser is.
I can only imagine that this guy can really write some major league B.S. that Degree really liked hearing.
I'd expect them to select someone that was at least somewhat interested in the sport.
They could have gotten someone from the "Jerry Springer" show to agree to train for an Ironman. We'll see how it all pans out.
