(So, what IS his age and condition....and does anyone know the approx. distance and his time?)
What's his condition--old?? Did he take 84 to 195 or cut across country? Camera"""???Think what you will of Jacobs, this is a hell of an accomplishment for a guy his age in his condition.
OOPs, apparently I owe the man an apology--- No heart attacks and only 2 operations, but I'd be hard pressed to even start the trek. All who gave him cheers, please add mine-and my apology for being an ASS.I'm impressed that a man who has had multiple heart attacks and 5 operations/procedures could do it in one day - and finish before sundown. Well done. Hope he raised a lot of money for the Cancer Institute.
"Turns out I had another arterial blockage, my fifth heart event since 2005, a box score that now reads a quadruple bypass and four stents. This time angioplasty in late July was enough. I'm good. And now that the summer heat is gone, I'm ready."OOPs, apparently I owe the man an apology--- No heart attacks and only 2 operations, but I'd be hard pressed to even start the trek.
