RaceMob Rewind: Record Smashing Triathlete Kicks Off Our Hydration Challenge Featuring Will Turner

#059 - We have a number of new episodes already recorded and ready for August and September.  But we wanted to revisit one of our favorite conversations as we approach our 60th episode.

How apt as well - as we're launching two incredible challenges in August.

1st - If you're looking to join a small community that's going to focus on achieving a goal together - then join our August Commitment Challenge.  You can get paired with new runners, those looking to lose weight, runners looking to run further, or those looking for a performance boost.  Each group will be led by an incredible coach - with weekly zoom calls - and the challenge is free this month as we're alpha testing it.  Join the challenge at https://racemob.com/challenge

2nd - We're going to be launch a fun hydration challenge towards the end of the month featuring Hammer Nutrition.  We'll have daily hydration tips on social media.  Simply drink 16 ounces of water as soon as you wake up, be mindful of your hydration, and interact with us for a daily chance to win a Hammer Nutrition prize pack.  Follow us on Instagram our handle is @racemob, and join our Facebook community.

As we watch peak performers compete at the Olympics, it reminded coach B and me about this amazing conversation we had in September of 2020 with Will Turner.  This world record setter was hospitalized during his first half-marathon due to poor hydration!  But he came back strong, and finished over 100 Iron Man distance triathlons over the course of 2 years.  On top of that, he's just a fantastic storyteller.  You're going to love this amazing conversation with the one and only will turner.

Will Turner - is a Legend! Will loves to set Big Hairy Audacious goals. When he turned 50, he completed his first IronMan. When he turned 60 - he completed 60… in One year!!! Smashing the previous record of 44 - he averaged an IronMan every 6 days.

He continued that journey and ended up completing 105 IronMan distance triathlons over the course of two years. And it was only slightly derailed when his partner and Uber Sherpa was diagnosed with kidney cancer - and they took a few months for surgery and recovery!

This is a long way from his first race - a half-marathon where he ended up in the hospital from dehydration.

So what’s an ultra endurance athlete of this caliber like? Humble, warm, welcoming, awe-inspiring… A motivational speaker who talks to at school assemblies expounding the virtues of “Live Your Bold”. And a National Park lover who promotes conservation of the environment. This was an amazing all-encompassing conversation, and I really hope that you enjoy it.
