Lt. Andy Baldwin, MD, Ironman

Truth was heard overheard from the finish line announcer: “And here he is, Number 1549, Andy Baldwin, the Bachelor, and he’s still a bachelor.” 

Yep, Andy and Tessa have decided to split up and see where things are when he returns from the Persian Gulf. So, it’s true, and that means Andy has now become the most eligible triathlete in the sport. Andy raced sick after a 102 fever the day before, and still finished in a rapid 10 hours and 17 minutes. Good luck on your deployment Andy, from the entire Triathlon community, and thanks for bringing the sport into the worldwide spotlight!

I have watched you everyday the week of the 13th. "Great Job" I am in AZ. Ever heard of Mt.Lemmon? If not, check it out.. Tucson is an extremely bike friendly city.

I am a litle sad to hear about Andy & Tessa, but that is of course, their business. I only hope the best for Andy & his deployment. He is a great man. We continue to support & pray for all of our miitary.. Thanks again Mitch. You did a super job all week.

Andy - Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Use your six months of deplyment to reassess your priorities. Hopefully, Tessa will be waiting for you!

Thank you for providing a status report on the Horst/Baldwin relationship. Also, I watched the live coverage of Kona and could bareley tear myself away from it. It boggles the mind to think that people are able to train themselves to sustain that level of endurance. I found all of the preliminary video blogs to be informative and they put it all in context. Kudos to all the Ironmen/women.
