Evan Morgan was on his second tour of duty in Iraq on New Year’s Day 2005 when his vehicle hit an IED. Morgan ended up losing his right leg above the knee, his left leg below the knee, and his right eye. He was only 21 years old. Despite nearly 40 surgeries, he was able to complete a 1.2 mile swim at the San Diego Triathlon Challenge in October of 2006, and by 2009 he completed Ironman 70.3 California using a handcycle and racing chair. The goal now for the father of three? To get to the starting line of the 2017 Ironman Triathlon World Championship.
