Congrats to Tim. What an inspirational accomplishment!
I'm really impressed by all of it but especially by his marathon time. He made up a lot of ground on the run and passed a TON of people.
I'm pretty sure my new boss did that iron man this weekend. Word on the street is he finished in about 14:00. I can't imagine going strong in 100 degree weather for 13 or 14 hours.
I really don't understand how someone can be a physician, a scientist, and an Ironman triathlete at the same time. That's at least two-and-a-half full time jobs by my count.
What's funny is when you click on the athletes competing it will give you there age and profession along with their splits. I saw a few engineers, a dentist, some attorneys and an electrician on the few I looked at. The electrician probably had the most money out of all of them and probably had the nicest bike. I bet a plumber had the nicest bike of everyone there.
Here are the stats on the boss (age 46):
SWIM 1:32:03
Bike 6:14:12
Run 5:12:45
Overall 13:15:42
Position 772
I have no idea how he has time to do this, on top of the fact he says he works 90 hours a week. He also has two teenagers, and his wife is a physician. The math just doesn't add up.
That's my point exactly, Natalie. There are a lot of demanding professions, but physician-scientists with active labs and active practices have TWO really demanding careers. To be successful at both is remarkable. But to do both AND train for an ironman (which I'd guess involves at least 12-14 hours of training per week) is frankly incomprehensible to me.
I have no idea how I would run another 10-20 miles a week to train for a marathon with my 40hr/week job, my wife and my child. Adding two more disciplines to the running makes me want to crawl into bed and retain a lawyer because my wife would divorce me if I spent much more time working out.
