Entering UM because: I believe competing in endurance racing is a good example for my children, family and friends.  I have heard nothing by great things about this event from my training partner, Stuart Trager (Ultraman 2004).  The challenge and opportunity to fulfill this goal is something I look forward to from a mental, spiritual and physical perspective.
