Evolution.
It was definitely a period of change, and I wanted to address it head on.
Instead of letting it control me, I wanted to control it.
So what I did was I jumped into Ironman Triathlon.
I had a friend from Stanford Business School who had run 15 of them at the time.
She was a world-ranked champion and challenged me on a dare to run an Ironman with her.
She thought it was kind of a joke, took it serious, and I started training that day.
Six weeks later, in the middle of training, I was hit by a car while cycling.
Of course you were.
Of course, of course.
I mean, I'll tell you, I was new at cycling.
I was new at swimming.
I had never entered a race in either of those.
I'd done one marathon in my life.
I was not a varsity athlete in high school.
I worked out, but I was basically going couch to Ironman in 90 days.
And Ironman, for everybody's knowledge, is...
Widely regarded as the hardest single-day sporting event in the world.
Tour de France is harder, but that's multiple days.
It is 140 miles total, 2.4 miles of swim in the ocean, 112 miles bike ride, and then you run a marathon, 26.2 miles.
