According to a story in today's KCStar:
[Pat] Hervey [of Overland Park] has been selected to compete in the Ironman Triathlon on Oct. 18 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The Ironman is the world's premier endurance test and includes a 2.4-mile ocean swim, a 112-mile bike race and a 26.2-mile run.
Hervey was chosen for the triathlon as part of a "Hometown Heroes" program, which selects 205 amateur athletes to participate in the event by lottery.
"Believe me, I have no expectation of winning the $100,000, but I am confident I can finish the race. I know what I have to do," Hervey said.
