“It is better to be pissed off than to be pissed on,” John Blaze (AKA Blazeman) liked to say.
Jon "Blazeman" Blais passed away on May 27th, 2007. He lost this final and brave battle with ALS.
Today we reported that to help raise money for his foundation, the world's best triathletes got together recently with a few legends of Rock n' Roll to record a song in his honor.
In honor of Jon (and in our small way to help keep is legacy going) we're rerunning this interview with him from September 21, 2006. His life and death touched countless lives and helped many other suffering from ALS. Information on donations to the Blazeman Foundation or Jonathan S. Blais Scholarship fund can be found on his foundation's web site.

You may recall the Blazeman’s valiant race from his Ironman world championships where John raced with ALS to raise money and awareness for his disease.
It has been years since the Blazeman log-rolled across the finish line in Kona and this vintage interview captures some of the spirit that made him such a warrior.
