Pastor Kleinhenz spoke about his bucket list item to run in a triathlon by the age of 40. He reached that goal two weeks prior to his 40th birthday by completing the Florida Iron Man event in Panama City Beach. He then set a goal to participate in the Iron Man World Championships in Hawaii and has accomplished that goal twice - in 2012 and 2017. During his inspirational talk, Kevin presented life lessons he has learned from his training and competitions. It was truly an honor to have Kevin speak at our meeting!
