Hi all,
For those of you in the US Ricky is going to be featured this Saturday December 13th at 2:30pm EST on NBC's coverage of the 2008 Ironman World Championship in Kona Hawaii where he completed the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile handcycle ride and 26.2 racing chair push(140.6 total miles) in 12 hours 44 minutes.

3 weeks later we went to Clearwater Florida and he won the World Championship in the half Ironman triathlon, 70.3 miles in 5 hours 30 minutes, less than 2 minutes off the course record. This race will air on NBC in March or April of 2009.

There's a good chance Ricky's spinal cord injury commercial will debut during Saturdays show, it's pretty extreme......

hope you can tune in.....
