Chris Lieto's Ironman Malaysia Report

Chris Lieto figured preparation in Hawaii would set him up for the climate at Ironman Malaysia, but it took the Langkawi run course to teach him the real meaning of heat. And on his way to finishing second he had to contend with jelly fish and sea lice in his singlet and a gel flask gone bump on the road. "I learned what the words 'fight' and 'never give up' really mean. If I can make it through a day like that I know that I can make it through anything life throws my way."
