The rig still has the Isuzu steering wheel!! AND the rear axle, 3.2 engine, trans, and transfer case, although it has been re-geared, are all original equipment!!He needs to at least throw a Zu grill on it to represent!
BTW, Triathlete - he just completed his first Ironman a week and a half ago...Ironman Wisconsin - 10 hrs 45 mins - I am so proud of him!!

He has only done one half iron (12 yrs ago) and a few other little adventure races. He used to be a professional mountain biker (multiple National titles) until he crashed and took out his shoulder. He hasn't raced in over 4 yrs, period. He got motivated to try an Ironman and did it. He hardly trained for the run - never over 10 miles, so he could do a lot better just right there. He just wanted to see if he liked racing again and he loved it. He's looking for another one to do next year! He will improve, I'm sure of it! Any seasoned veteran advice you could pass along?
PS - I was SO inspired watching him finish that I signed up for my first Half Iron in August of 2013 :-) (not Ironman sponsored, called the Superior Man with the swim in Lake Superior :-)) I'm excited!!

Congrats...it's addictive...or you will totally hate it, there is no inbetween! )
As far as advice...
make sure you are properly trained for the swim. That is one thing you can't fake. You can coast on the bike, walk on the run but if you stop swimming you drown! Also hold back a little on the bike...your run will thank you. Proper race nutrition is vital. Slowtwitch.com is a great place to search and read a lot of info but you have to wade through the people who " think" they know what they are talking about! If you have any questions drop me a pm.

You'd be surprised how many people see it and go, "what was the base for that?" He says an Isuzu Rodeo and they say "oh yea, now I see it!" I have NO idea what they see, but hey, who am I to say what they do or don't see. You'll have to test your eyes for yourself I guessAh yes, I can clearly see the resemblance...
