I'm so excited. A friend of mine co-authored a book and managed to include a chapter on static apnea. I've never had my name in a real book before and most of the chapter is about me. Imagine seeing your name beside legends, new and old, from Bannister to Phelps, including the only two cyclists to win the Tour de France more than five times.

The book is a combination of personal bests and fantasy projections about the maximum that is humanly possible. It's called The Perfection Point. Coming soon to a library near you, they hope, and on I book.

I'm just a dumb jock, no other connection.
 
Nice one Bill, sounds like it'll be a good read :) not sure about the title tho!
 
Bill, I think you deserve this kind of recognition. Because you've actually been there, done that.
You set the US breath hold national record in your 70th year of age!!! What more should a man accomplish to have a spot in the hall of fame?
BTW: Phelps is my hero, but Bill is my legend!
 
The book is out now. My daughter picked it up. On I-book I think. My pre-order came on Monday, from Amazon. With luck I'll get it autographed by the authors when they're out next week for the Iron Man.
