In the lates installment of Now to Next, we welcome James Lawrence, nicknamed The Iron Cowboy, who is perhaps best known for completing 50 Ironman-distance triathlons in 50 days in all 50 states.
This feat earned him a world record for the number of consecutive long course triathlons completed, but he still wondered if he had truly found his mental and physical limits. In 2021, after the pandemic halted his regular speaking gigs, James took on his biggest challenge yet: Conquer 100, in which he raced an Ironman-distance triathlon for 100 consecutive days, from March 1, 2021 – June 8, 2021.
We're so excited to have James onto the show to share his journey with us and how ordinary people can redefine impossible ever day and achieve extraordinary things.
