Rudy Garcia Tolson is an Olympian. Gold medalist at that. With no legs. He will be returning to the Olympics again and has been training at the Olympic Training Center in Boulder, CO all season.
He is also an Ironman. With no legs.Yes he has competed and completed the Ironman distance. On this day he and I are putting in long, hot, windy and desolate miles out in the desert preparing him for the 2009 big dance of Ironman World Championships in Kona. Kona is thee ultimate dance. I was spreading the aloha riding a Kona bicycle on this training day (carbon King Zing). Rudy has a big heart. A braveheart. He is now getting some of the good returns of his hard and disciplined efforts. You will be seeing more of this kid. And one can never forget: It was Terry Martin whom scooped this kid from the nest and taught him how to fly...............................
