I’m not a betting man – but I would “bet” that Dale will make it to Nationals next year. If illness or injury kept Dale from competing – he would have quit over 25 times by now! He has more willpower than anyone I know when it comes to sticking with the iron. I know he doesn’t know this – but I consider him a hero and inspiration to me. I would “hope” that I could do the things he has done lifting after having to deal with the health issues he has experienced – but I sometimes wonder if I would. I (or anyone else!) don’t have any reason to complain about “my bad shoulder” or any other injury I may have – because my physical problems are NOTHING compared to what Dale has worked though. Al
You’re not a betting man? hahaha, that’s funny! Has any friend of Al’s not been in a bet with him? Haha!
Great to hear Dale is doing well, I don’t think that anyone that knows him had any doubts. I am a betting man, & I’ll bet Dale will be at Nationals if he’s not at a meet before then I’d be surprised!
