A note from STEVE EDMONDSON
This message is for MTN:
Hi Guys, I don't know if you remember me, I was the 600 LB man you did an article on. I have
been maintaining around 220 Lbs, and had my summer schedule set. 3 days before Buffalo, my left knee locked up. So on June 11th,
I had total knee replacement on both knees that was 3 weeks ago. Today I did an 8 mile bike ride on my new knees. My knees felt the

I had planned on finishing first in my age group and qualifying for the World Championship 70.3 race to be held in Nevada in September. I have a backup qualifier in mind -- Racine 70.3 scheduled in July. But, not getting to race at Kansas is kinda like getting a flat on a bike ride and using up your only spare. The uncertainty of whether you will finish the ride or get another flat is unnerving.
The reason I cancelled is I have another injury. Following my race two weeks ago Saturday, I took a recovery bike ride on Sunday and swam/ran on Monday. Tuesday morning I could hardly walk. It appeared I had a good case of the shin splints on my right leg. Haven't had shin splints since High School.
