My Father Is 100% Japanese And Came

My Dad's Great. He's My Biggest Supporter. He's Always Told Me That Whatever I Choose To Do, I Can Do It. I Just Gotta Put My Mind To It.

I Rolled The Second Car That I Ever Owned, A Toyota 4 Runner. This Was Winter In Colorado, Two Weeks Before The 2002 Olympic Trials. I Was Driving In The Outside Lane, And My Rear Tire Caught Some Black Ice, And We Totally Turned Sideways To The Point Where We Were Heading Right Toward The Median.

It's Just A Goatee. That Sounds Kind Of Weird. A Soul Patch? I Don't Know How 'soul' It Is.

It Is Not Up To Me Whether I Win Or Lose. Ultimately, This Might Not Be My Day. And It Is That Philosophy Towards Sports, Something That I Really Truly Live By. I Am Emotional. I Want To Win. I Am Hungry. I Am A Competitor. I Have That Fire. But Deep Down, I Truly Enjoy The Art Of Competing So Much More Than The Result.

It's An Individual Sport, But Collectively Everybody Shares The Same Motto That Ironman Stands For: Anything Is Possible.
