        My wife and I do triathlons as motivation to stay in shape. As part of my preparation for our annual trip from northern Calif. to Ironman Boise 70.3, I was looking at the participant list to see which pro’s were going to be in Idaho this year. While doing so, I ran across Dwight Schuh’s name.(No he’s not a pro)So, the day of the race I looked down the row of bikes toward the spot his race number was to set up and by golly there he was. I introduced myself, told him how I admired his work, and said that I didn’t know he did triathlons. In his friendly voice he stated, “I do these things (triathlons) to stay in shape for the more important things.” A smile grew on his face as I asked, “Like bowhunting?” His teeth showed thru his smile as he just slowly nodded. I was able to talk to him both before and after the race (the man is an animal on the course) and found thru meeting his wife that my cousin who we were staying with was friends with his daughter; small world. He turned out to be every bit the class act I figured he was. It was by far the highlight of the trip for me…and I had a good race! 8)
