    At the end of his email messages, Sam Pasceri has the quote: "I refuse to tip-toe through life only to arrive a death safely." I'm not sure about the death part, but Pasceri certainly isn't tip-toeing through life. The Lockport resident completed the Virginia Double Ironman this past weekend. That's 4.8 miles of swimming, 224 miles of biking and two marathons to finish it all off. Pasceri finished in 34 hours and 48 minutes -- one hour and 12 minutes away from the cutoff. While the double Ironpeople recover from their exploits, the Ford Ironman World Championships in Kona get underway on Saturday. The website will have a webcast (the event will be broadcast on TV at a later date) and you can follow Western New York athletes Diane Sardes and Joanne York through the websites athlete tracker. Meanwhile, celebrities continue to get into the triathlon game. Well, sort of. Matt Damon was a surprise entry at the recent Escape to Miami Triathlon. But Damon did the event as part of a relay team, doing the 6.2-mile run in 59 minutes, 54 seconds.

    Matt Damon, Mr. "Sexiest Man Alive," cool of you to surprise everyone at the Miami triathlon. I am glad you are supporting our sport.  It's cool that you are a role model for keeping America active. But you only RAN?  You wimp. What was that J-Lo? Yes, you did show up Jason Bourne by doing all three parts of your tri. But Will from Good Will Hunting, you must have run fast right? Nope.  59 min 10k is not blazing speed. It's almost an Ocean's 10 minute mile. OK, I will cut you some slack. It was your first race. Next time you want to really give a go, drop me a line. I will even let you draft off me... if you can stay up. By the way, did you know he was a "Red Sox Fan" (an extra) in Field of Dreams? I have watched that movie a thousand times, never noticed. Now I get to watch it again.But not until I am over baseball season. It will be a while. UPDATE:  Matt Damon emailed me.  He didn't really believe that J-lo finish the whole tri herself. Well Matt, here you go.  I just report what I read on reputable websites like People.

    After getting pudgy for an upcoming movie, Matt Damon is back to being buff. (His weight losses and gains over the years have been pretty extraordinary!) Does it seem like triathlons are the newest fitness crazy among celebrities? After all, Jennifer Lopez did it after she had twins. What do you do to keep in top acting shape? --Anna Bengel

    Over the weekend, Matt Damon completed the 6.2-mile running portion of a tri in Miami. Like it wasn’t enough that he was handsome, (seemingly) smart and a successful movie star, but he’s edging in on your territory as a runner. Prove yourself by outpacing his 9:39-minute miles in this race.
