I talked with Isaac tonight for the first time since he got back to Guam. He and his girlfriend came back to the mainland briefly to take care of some family business (mostly hers). Unfortunately, this was right at the time when I was in Houston, so I didn’t get to see him and meet her. I was wracked with guilt about it, but we talked this evening, and I’m feeling better about it.
However, I can say this for sure: my brother is insane. Since going to Guam, he has turned into a monster athlete. How much? Well, yesterday he and his gf did a triathlon in Guam. Isaac came in fourth overall, out of more than sixty people (she came in second in the women’s division). Craziness. They’re both going to be doing the Xterra Sport Triathon in Saipan next weekend, which is pretty much the same race distance-wise, but on Saipan. I can’t wait to hear how he does. He’s also been gearing up for GEAR, the Guam Extreme Adventure Race, which is a 24 hour race done by teams of four people. Twenty-four hours. That’s ridiculous. It makes me want to post a picture of Isaac dressed up as He-Man from a couple years ago. I’ll save him the possible embarrassment, but maybe he’ll do it himself next time he updates his own site.
Well, Evil, I don't care how mant of them there were or were not; you're still my hero. Good luck!

Thanks, bro. However, it was more like 40 people (at least, that's the number of finishers they listed in the paper). XTerra will probably be a much larger bunch, even for the sport distance. I doubt I'll do nearly as well, but it will be fun to do it nonetheless.
