This is Dominique Benassi of Bastia, France. This, and more, I learned from the Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 website. He is 47, an Electrician. As you may have noticed, he has only one leg. He finished the Ironman, swimming 1.2 miles, biking 56 miles, and running 13.1 miles, with a rank of 586 out of 1,254.
I don't know much more about him, but this is all I need to know to be COMPLETELY INSPIRED! I didn't expect that when I walked, with my two good legs, down the street to stand, with my two good legs, and watch the athletes ride by on their bicycles. I never expected to see a man with only one leg competing in one of the hardest races on this planet. Incredible! My hat is off to Dominique Benassi.
