Girl tried the triathlon with 1 leg, Sarah Reinertson

Wednesday, July 20, 2005 (Updated 1/23/2008)

On nightline tonight there was a story about a girl named Sarah Reinertson, she's 30, and only has one leg.

She attempted the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii last year, she made it to the transition after the bike ride, but was 15 minutes too late to go on the run.

The show is still on, but I believe she's going to attempt the triathlon again this year. It really makes you think about life when you see what she does. She's got this challenge she has to live with every day, and she has the drive to be able to compete in this hardcore event.

No reason what ever for any of us two legged individuals to bitch about a thing.
This women who is courageously beautiful and magical in her task, brilliantly holds a glass half full to the world to admire.

If you don't keep wiping the tears from your eyes when viewing the Nightline story, then chances are that your not human.

Mind you the tears are in no way a sentiment of apathy but an expression of pride.

I don't remember the last time I was so motivated to get out of my mood and turn on the Sara Reinertson light.

Chris, I'm a a massage therapist in Redondo Beach, Ca. the story I saw about Sarah on our local news said that she lived in Santa Monica which is just north of me. I would like to contact her either through e-mail or by phone. Do you have a Link? Thanks, Bill (310)567-6422
