I would have thought his name would be Bob.

Surprising that there were people who swam slower than he did. How do you go home and explain that one.

Slowguy

(insert pithy phrase here...)

He named his team Bob. As for not finishing last, did you watch the video on the news site? I think it explains (and impresses) a lot.

Yea, the video is worth watching. I couldn't figure out how to post a link to it but there is a link on the news story page

Yeah that's crazy. Props to the guy for working to find challenges to overcome and then doing it!!

That's great! And yet people bitch about things like a little rain at IMUSA.

I got in right behind this guy. It was totally amazing and very humbling.

The funny thing was that the water was 83-degrees F. A whole bunch of people were pissing and moaning about not being able to wear a wet suit. And then this dude with no arms and no legs shows up. That shut up the whiners, pdq.

Mr. Dietz, you rock!

Wow. Thread of the day right there. How freaking inspirational!

Wait. He used a flipper? Cheater!!!!








Yes. That was sarcasm. You gotta be kidding me! That is highly inspirational. I'll never complain about a swim again. Holy crap!

"This is how Craig Dietz is! He teases himself to put you at ease. Except when he tries to freak you out. One time in college, at a Duquesne frat's haunted house, he put fake blood all over his four stubs, had his buddy fire up a chain saw and came hopping out with the buddy chasing him. The sorority girls nearly fainted."

Someone needs to contact this guy and have him sign in on ST. Anyone with that sense of humor clearly belongs here.
