I always thought that guy (larger version!) just never came back!
It was great to see you Sunday at SMU and to hear that vignette from you in person. And really, the "larger version" is never coming back. I hope the article will inspire others to swim, the losing weight part is a good attention getter, but swimming is such a great sport that all body types and ages can do.
