Matt Miller 70.3

I tried bulking up for several years. I wanted to be huge. Then two women friends told me that muscular build was disgusting. What turned them on what caught their eye was a lean physique like that of Bruce Lee. Several more female friends agreed. After some planning, I set out to undo the work of the previous few years by slimming down. Over the next several years, I lost fifty pounds and became lean. I looked into doing triathlons. Maybe participating in those events would help me maintain that lean Bruce Lee look.

I read about triathlete, model, filmmaker, philanthropist, entrepreneur, Matt Miller. I introduced myself to Matt who invited me to run my first half marathon in Fort Lauderdale. I flew down to meet Matt and others. A few hours after I met Matt, he told me that he believed I had the talent and personality to be more than just a person participating in races. Matt felt I could be elite. I could inspire people and change the world!

Matt witnessed me jump into the Hudson River at the start of my first ever triathlon. Years later, as ABC staffer and Ironman triathlete, Justin Sternberg guided me to a first place finish helping me qualify for the Paratriathlon USA National Championships, which I would win, Matt ran alongside recording the moment and choking up at how far I had come from that initial e-mail. Because of Matt, I have met so many amazing individuals who inspire me and who remain my dear friends. Matt took time to discuss his journey and mentioned many of those very people. I hope you will take the time to read his entry at the link below.
