Competing in an Ironman triathlon is one of the more grueling physical experiences that a person can choose to put themselves through. Swimming 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometers), Biking 112 miles (180.2 kilometers), and Running 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers) test the limits of human endurance. Leap of Fate Pod 90's guest, Bryce Hegemier, one of my good friends here in San Diego, recently completed his first Ironman Triathlon, Ironman Texas!
Finishing an Ironman is an accomplishment many people will never achieve. So what is it about the race — or the competitors — that makes people even want to begin? Ironman Triathlon Athletes are a different breed as the race is considered the pinnacle of multisport racing. Completing such distances requires a high level of fitness, endurance, and mental resilience, as athletes can spend anywhere between 8 hours (for professionals) to 17 hours (amateur athletes) on the course.
Bryce comes on this week's podcast to talk about everything about his experience:
1. The mental and physical preparation for the Ironman Texas.
2. The day of the race and all the fun, grueling, crazy details!
3. Advice for future Ironman Triathloners and anyone with a goal!

Enjoy yall!
