The Loneliman triathlon tradition continues: after years of 38.3 and 39.3 miles, we’ve now come of age. Hello 40.3.
On the occasion of turning forty I’ll be doing a triathlon as a fundraiser for Next Generation Ministries (NGM), aka the FortyMan 40.3.
Forty, man.
It takes enduring courage and generosity to learn about an injustice and remain committed to seeking the best solutions for others over the long-haul. I want to keep becoming that quality of man. To celebrate my 40th birthday I’ll be doing a triathlon as a fundraiser for Next Generation Ministries (NGM), aka the FortyMan 40.3. (Due to injuries sustained in… Continue reading Forty, man.
Remembering Dan Patterson (a tribute from a true son).
This Fall we had to say goodbye to our father, Daniel Patterson. The youngest son of four, he lived and loved well. My father’s infectious smile, relational warmth, and practical know-how, coupled with caring for people, being generous with words and money. He was a good father. I miss him dearly. In two memorials we… Continue reading Remembering Dan Patterson (a tribute from a true son).
Far from Lonely, Man.
Friends, I write to you today to say THANK YOU for supporting the Loneliman 39.3 fundraiser for NGM — and to note there is still time to join in the fun! Give today! 😉 Even if we haven’t met, your birthday gift doesn’t go to me: it’s all to fund Next Generation Ministries.
Loneliman Praying for 39.3 miles
For my 39th birthday on June 17th I’ll be doing a triathlon as a fundraiser for Next Generation Ministries (NGM), aka the Loneliman 39.3. How can I pray for you? Choose a mile and tell me how I can pray for you as I endure with joy.
Loneliman 39.3 » when & where (schedule & course)
For my 39th birthday on June 17th I’ll be doing a triathlon as a fundraiser for Next Generation Ministries (NGM), aka the Loneliman 39.3. What about the WHEN and WHERE?
You don’t have to swim, bike or run at all. As you give, I’ll go faster. I envision one hundred people each giving $39, or more. Again, I’m not asking for a birthday gift, for all my needs are met. All donations go to fund NGM, so in lieu of presents, please give hope.

Giving it all for 70.3 … for 135+ kids
Here’s my effort to briefly describe the fun and painful moments of enduring 70.3 miles. So far all have given $6,752, providing life-saving clean water for 135 kids in Africa!
Racing for Water with urgency and not with haste.
Many have asked about the race on Sunday. It’s called Ironman Arizona 70.3 (IMAZ 70.3 for short), and the “70.3” notes the total miles. It’s a Half-Ironman (which are 140.6 miles), and I hope to cover the 1.2-mile swim in 30-35 minutes, the 56-mile bike ride in 2:40—2:55, and the 13.1-mile half-marathon run in about 1:40-ish. It will be a hot day out there, and an optimal race will have me finishing about the same time as my brother John, in five hours. Here’s some details on how to track us from your place of comfort …
