A lot of people ask me, “Why do you do the Ironman?”
I usually reply, “I do it for the t-shirt.”

A 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride, topped off with a 26.2-mile marathon run…that must be some great t-shirt!

For so many of us, the “reward” isn’t why we do things.

I recorded this video the day after my 7th Ironman World Championship race, and I talk about the t-shirt I received and what it truly signifies.

I appreciate everyone who followed along during the race on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Tell me about the big challenges you tackle daily, as an advisor, athlete, or just being you.
