Greg Bennett : los viejos rockeros nunca mueren

Ayer en el prestigioso Hy-Vee Triathlon en Des Moines , Iowa , el viejo zorro de 39 años dio toda una lección en una carrera plagada de figuras y se embolsó un premio final de 151.000 dólares (más los bonus por cada vuelta que fue lider).
Bennett es quizás el triatleta profesional que más dinero ha ganado en premios (patrocinadores y subvenciones aparte) , ya en 2007 se embolsó 500.000 dólares tras ser el vencedor de la Life Time Fitness-Toyota Cup .
Os dejo un video de hace 2 años cuando estaba recuperándose de un accidente en bici , le vemos entrenando en Boulder , Colorado .

“….it's about believing in yourself when you don't have a reason to; it's about the courage to try something beyond hard when the rest of the world is incredulous; it's about your own personal honesty with yourself; it's about living life with passion and conviction; and most importantly, it's about bringing out the best in human beings. I don't see this race as a fearsome challenge anymore, but an amazing opportunity to do achieve something brilliant. We aren't much more than tissue and bone, but when we are committed and driven, our incredibly insignificant small bodies do some amazing things that shock the entire universe."

"Los hombres olvidan siempre que la felicidad humana es una disposición de la mente y no una condición de las circunstancias."
