Island Conversations #45–Ironman finisher Roderick Sewell, with mentor Rudy Garcia-Tolson (both double amputees!)

Roderick Sewell was the first above-the-knee double amputee to finish Ironman Triathlon World Championship (ie Kona, in Iron vernacular).  Rudy Garcia-Tolson is his friend and mentor, who helped inspire him as Rudy, also is a double amputee.  We talked with them two days after the October 12, 2019 Ironman Triathlon World Championship–it’s inspiring to hear their stories, good for a time of year where we should all be inspired. Air date:  Dec. 1, 2019
