On November 13th, Brian Barndt, Kyle Garrett & Canadian Mark Black particpated in Wilmongton, North Carolina's Beach to Battleship Triathalon. They dubbed themsleves The Tin Men. Brian Barndt & Kyle Garrett are both Americans who recieved heart transplants. Brian is also an award winner in the Transplant Games. Mark Black is a Canadian who received a double lung and heart transplant. Garrett ran the biking leg, Black was the distance runner, and Barndt competed in his favorite element: the water.
Obviously, transplantation doesn't need to slow one done...
The odd Michael connection here is that he & his family visited the Wilmington Battleship two years ago. I'll be sure to post some photos of him beside the big guns : )
