Triathlon is all in the family for Kansas City-area father and son

Wednesday, July 07, 2004

Triathletes Glenn and Chris Bohannon are the subjects of a KCStar story:

Bohannon had forgotten his father's prior two birthdays. He knew his father, Glenn, was signed up for his first-ever Ironman race. So Bohannon gave his father a gift that required plenty of forethought — 12 months of intense training.

The gift was revealed a few months later when Glenn Bohannon was scanning the roster of the 2001 Ironman race in Panama City, Fla., on the Internet. Below his own name, he saw his son Chris.

The two competed in the mother of all triathlons together, finishing the 2.4-mile swim course, 112-mile bike ride and 26-mile run.
