Amputee Again Trains for Kona

If you watched this year's Hawaii Ironman, you saw amputee Sarah Reinersten's inspiring attempt to become the first female amputee to complete the race. Now the 29-year-old is training again--this time with the help of respected triathlon coaches Paul Huddle and Roch Frey.

"I am very pumped and excited," Reinertsen says. "I'm also thinking I've got 10, 15 hours a week in training sessions in addition to work, and how am I going to do this all again? It's a big commitment. But this is my passion right now."
