50 Ironmans in 50 states in 50 days: This is what my guest, James "Iron Cowboy" set out to do. Everyone said it was impossible. Nobody thought it could be done. He disagreed. In 2015, James set out for the impossible and 50 days later completed what he set out to do in the face of overwhemling odds, physical damage, mental exhaustion, and obstacle after obstacle to overcome. Today he shares his journey. JAMES "IRON COWBOY" LAWRENCE James Lawrence is an endurance athlete and Ironman triathlete. He holds two Guinness World Records in 70.3 and 140.6 triathlon racing. In 2012, James shattered the World Record by over 10 races, winning 2 titles and placing 2nd in five others. After 2012, James "Iron Cowboy" Lawrence wanted to test the true limits of his mind and body and wanted people around the world to join him in an effort to raise money for childhood obesity and empower them to take control of their own lives. So, he set out for the unthinkable: 50 Full Distance Courses, 50 Consecutive days, through all 50 States.  He'd cover 140.6 miles each and every day, for 50 consecutive days.  A 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride and then finishing up by covering 26.2 more miles, which is the marathon.   In 2015, he completed what everyone else said was impossible. This is his story. Please leave us a review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes Shownotes: http://www.orderofman.com/092 Website: http://www.orderofman.com
