Mike Richter In Retirement? Still Making You Look Small

Mike Richter, seen above making a freaky save on a goal you could not have possibly prevented, has found a few more things to do in post-hockey life to make you feel small, you sad little person, you.

Aside from raking in piles of cash as a partner in a private equity firm, raising three sons with his wife and finishing a degree in ethics, politics, and economics at Yale, Richter has decided to start a little side gig as a triathlete.

Last summer, Richter competed in his first half-Ironman. Last month in Lake Placid, N.Y., he took part in his first Ironman: He swam 2.4 miles, cycled 112 miles and ran 26.2 miles in 12 hours 49 minutes 10 seconds.

Richter, just to make you feel bad, also just finished his advanced level Sudoku in two minutes and seeded a Pomegranate without staining his hands in one minute and twenty-three seconds. Oh, and this one's for real: he's running the ING New York City Marathon on November 4th, too, and doing it for charity. Take that, Mr. "30 minutes on the elliptical machine and I'm good."
