“Dear Coach,
You once told me ‘…it’s a race so for heavens sake pass someone!’ I did.”

Dear Coach:
Well I made the podium at Ironman Coeur d’ Alene in my age group. Placed 3rd out of 22 or so. I had the fastest swim split, the 3rd bike and 6th run. At the roll down I was able to get a spot for Ironman Hawaii.

The wandering path is still on after all these years. Alll our years together paid off… Wholistic Fitness has given me so much mental strength and the grounding to remember that being out there is mainly about having fun.

My mantra this race was for a friend, Robin, who is recovering from 17 broken bones after a collision with a car.
Hope you are getting comfortable in your new home. I was thinking of coming to Arizona this fall but Kona beckons.
Keep up the great Direct Lines.
Ai Imawa with love
Fit Kit
ps. You once told me “its a race so for heavens sake pass someone.” I did.

Steve,
First of all I got damn hungry seeing you enjoy the fry bread (DL; 7/5/05).

If anyone wants the best fry bread to make themselves I highly suggest they go to

My good friend Ansel (Kola) is the owner and actually my Lakota brother. One great ingredient used is Timpsula…wild prairie turnip which the natives used before wheat flour came around. In fact it was one of their secrets of survival and very nutritious.

Another insight on the Hopi I learned from my wife Linda when she was studying IQ tests and different types of intelligences…First of all, in spite of cultural biases in most all tests, Native Americans as a general rule have a higher IQ than the rest of us. Secondly, the Hopi as a population have the highest IQ�s on the planet. In fact, the �average� Hopi has a genius IQ.

Now, back to my Indian Taco 😉
love,
haku
