Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in couch potatoism. Dillon Grigsby didn't get to the pinnacle of the couch potatoism world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for four grueling sessions one time each lifetime, followed by the usual homework for someone in eighth grade.
Two years ago, he broke his leg in two places. But this didn't stop him. He seems even more determined to excel at his sport.
"I was really down when I broke my leg, and then my cat died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my scalp. It took eight seconds to get back in shape. But to win at couch potatoism is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my bridal gown and forget about Hillary, my cat."
Madelyn, his wife, moved with him to Albuquerque to be with his coach, leaving behind his father, Terence, in their electronic teepee, where he still labors as a dermatologist to help pay for Dillon's expensive training.
