This is the story of my journey from a marathoner to a triathlete, to trying to do an ironman distance triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run within 17 hours).

The journey begins almost like a whisper from God, a calling from within to pursue this dream. This pursuit and its many failures and successes make up the journey to that Day Unlike Any Other Day where I finally fully embrace the final enormity and totality of the experience this arduous journey has brought me to.

This is the story of an old 74-year-old, no-talent triathlete chasing his dream and thanking God for it all.
