So on those days I showed up, I did what I had to do and I won.
But-
muscle and fitness outside magazine, Forbes were all writing these articles.
I was like, this is so surreal.
Cause I mean, I was like a dead dog loser for like 10 years.
I, even the first time I made it to Hawaii, I write about this in the book about how hard it is to quit.
You think in the minute, like I'm going to quit, I'm going to get out of this.
And I quit like an idiot and it changed my life.
Cause I was like, I will never feel like that again.
I will die before I walk home a quitter ever again.
Oh, I could like literally cry thinking about it.
It's so embarrassing, but embarrassing.
My wife would be like, who are you humiliated in front of?
I'm like myself.
Right.
Which is my opinion of me is the only opinion that matters.
Exactly.
I had done everything I could to qualify for the Ironman in Hawaii.
And it was like a goal for like two or three years.
And I finally did it.
