Iron Cowboy James Lawrence completed 50 Ironman distance triathlons, in 50 days, in each of the 50 United States -- The 50-50-50.  A single Ironman is an incredible accomplishment -- as it consists of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run, raced in that order and without a break.   So you can see why everyone told James he was absolutely out of his mind to think he could do an Ironman 50 days in a row, especially with the travel required to do this in all 50 US States. But as you’ll learn in this episode, James did reach his goal, learned a ton about himself and life through the process -- and certainly earned his incredibly cool nickname -- the Iron Cowboy.  For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/105
