Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in couch potatoism. Lynn Watts didn't get to the pinnacle of the couch potatoism world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for eight grueling sessions three times each minute, followed by the usual homework for someone in third grade.
Two years ago, he broke his eye in three 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 eye, and then my warthog died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my paw. It took five months 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 hair net and forget about Helen, my warthog."
Kaylee, his mother-in-law, moved with him to Costa Rica to be with his coach, leaving behind his father, Jürgen, in their hideous motel, where he still labors as a government agent to help pay for Lynn's expensive training.
