No one had ever done anything close to this. In 2017, he did the unimaginable, completing 50 Ironman triathlons in 50 consecutive days in 50 different states, all while raising money to reduce childhood obesity.

That’s 140.6 miles per day, every day, for 14 straight weeks, for a total of 14,060 miles!
