Stormin' Normann smokes the Queen K highway and sets a new record.

I've been watching the live INTARWEB stream of todays Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawai'i while my formally ruptured appendix heals up.

Normann Stadler (GER), riding a Kuota Kalibur with Zipp 606's with Vittoria Corsa Evo CX tires, sets a new Kona course record of 4:18:23.

Damn.

26.007mph AVG for 112 miles.

As of right now, he's got under under 5K with a 2 minute lead on Chris McCormack (AUS) and Faris Al-Sultan (GER).

What's with this cliffhanger crap? "His appendix exploded!!!" followed by weeks of silence.

He was discharged last Sunday. I also learned way too much about his hospital roommates.
After taking him home to the hospital, his dad and I shared and exciting afternoon getting his prescriptions filled, going grocery shopping, etc. His dad doesn't appreciate my driving.
I stayed with him at his place urging him to take percocet and get some sleep. He still has a number left.
Wednesday night his wound was reddish and puffy and I didn't realize how bad it was infected. He had a Dr. appointment on Thursday where his wound cleaned up and where he found out that his stomach muscles were not cut during the operation (which is good).
Yesterday he enjoyed Indian food and [REDACTED].
