Freakin’ A

Meet some real GI Joes at Town Lake

By Steve Jansen

What’s your definition of a freak? One of those dudes who hangs from the ceiling with meat hooks in his skin? Yeah, maybe. However, our definition are those crazy tri-athletes who train for eight hours a day, drink nothing but pineapple juice, and calculate carbs in order to meet their glycemic index (GI). Not for us, but we’ll certainly enjoy watching the freaks of nature swim 2.4 miles, bike 112, and run 26.2 during the Ford Ironman Arizona.
