That's what my little bro has! He has just completed ironman UK which is a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride and then finished off with a 26.2 mile run! He wasn't the fastest but he's been at it for nearly 17hrs today! He is a 24 yr old marine who finished his 3rd tour in Afghanistan only 6 weeks ago, so hasn't had much time for training.

He is an inspiration and I can only dream about going out for a run with him! :bigsmile:

Yes I am a very proud big sis right now but it got me thinking...
Who is your inspiration? What special even would you love to take part in?

It would be nice to look back on this thread and feel motivated when I need it!

    First, thanks to your brother for serving!

    Second, tell him congratulations! That is a huge accomplishment!

    My inspiration are my friends on here, they are bada$$ and I want to be like them when I grow up! I'm doing my first Warrior Dash in September and I'm looking forward to doing a lot more.

    I'm sure one day soon you'll be running with your brother!
