Some pro MTB racer challenged him to a roller race at a bar in CO -- taunted with some inappropriate remarks, and he laid waste again. He's won a few triathlons. Took up MMA and was pretty good at that (~35 lbs over race weight, moderately lean). Really competitive, so he kind of has to be doing something athletic. The miles in his legs are not to be taken lightly -- strong like bull.

Well KL was at the top of the heap.
