At 65 Robert Owens completed five of the world’s toughest endurance events, in one year. He also completed 7 marathons in 7 countries in 7 days! He has competed in an 8-day race over 200 miles across Greece; a combination run/ocean swim event lasting more than nine hours; an Ironman Triathlon; and a 50-hour challenge modelled after a Navy SEAL-style Hell Week.
Robert says he is an average guy. Trained as an US Air Force Pararescue operator, the medical rescue equivalent of a Navy SEAL, he was one of only 7 to qualify, of the 157 candidates.
Robert understands setbacks. He was adopted as an infant. His knees and ankles were deformed. From 5 - 10 yrs, he wore special boots with metal rods to support his walk. He was never part of any school sports team and later had to find his own way in life.
Once he finished high school, he lived a carefree life, often in trouble with the law. He got severe burns, when fooling around with a beach fire and a peer-pressure dare.
