JOE AMENDALARO "KINGJOE" IRONMAN
Joe "King Joe" Amendolaro and his son Tony run King Joe's gym. King Joe got started in the olympic lifts in Alaska in the 1950's. He was stationed there during and for a short while after the Korean war. He also took up cross country skiing there, and has kept up both ever since. He will be competing in the Master's Nationals at 132, the same weight class he has always competed in, this weekend down in Fort Bliss Texas. Joe's favorite saying is, "If you wear out your body, where you gonna live?" Joe and Tony run a spring water company. Joe still works, carrying two five gallon jugs at a time, up and down stairs, winter and summer. We are trying to get him to take the week before off nationals to rest but I doubt it. ---Byron Chandler
