100+ IronMan Triathlons in 2 Years - How a "Normal Athlete" Smashed a World Record with Will Turner

Oct 08, 2020 • E17 • 01:10:11

#017 - Will Turner - is a Legend!  I should just drop the mic there!  Will loves to set Big Hairy Audacious goals.  When he turned 50, he completed his first IronMan.  When he turned 60 - he completed 60… in One year!!!  Smashing the previous record of 44 - he averaged an IronMan every 6 days.  

He continued that journey and ended up completing 105 IronMan distance triathlons over the course of two years.  And it was only slightly derailed when his partner and Uber Sherpa was diagnosed with kidney cancer - and they took a few months for surgery and recovery!

This is a long way from his first race - a half-marathon where he ended up in the hospital from dehydration.

So what’s an ultra endurance athlete of this caliber like?  Humble, warm, welcoming, awe-inspiring…  A motivational speaker who talks to at school assemblies expounding the virtues of “Live Your Bold”.  And a National Park lover who promotes conservation of the environment.  This was an amazing all-encompassing conversation, and I really hope that you enjoy it.
