| 23.07.2010 - Drafting |
 I pledge to my family, fellow triathletes, Pros and Age Groupers, who all love triathlon, that I have trained without taking unauthorized substances, that I will put a fair fight, respect the rules of the race and that I will never draft, cheat, nor put in danger the life of any competitors during the race. This is a commitment I make to myself, to my fellow triathletes, to my family and friends, and to all those who love the sport of Triathlon and the Ironman Competition. Only then, I can proudly pretend, if I cross the finish line within the time limit, to say: "I AM AN IRONMAN" |
