Ep 1 - Billy Hafferty - Antarctic Ice Marathon

What does it feel like to truly put it all out there and give it everything you've got? Well, for those who have done this, they'd argue that there is no better feeling in the world.But what does putting it all out there mean? How can we quantify this?The answer is we can't, it's unique to each person and that includes, the coveted elation that putting it all out there promises to deliver. As humans, we have perspective. This is a faculty of our minds that allow us to have our a unique take on everything in life. In other words, it's the explanation for why multiple people can look at the same object and see completely different things.Perspective, the way I see it, is also a conduit to conflict. (Enter ego!) In our pursuit to be right, which by the way can only happen by making another wrong, we sometimes fight to the death to uphold our perspective as truth. It's an interesting dance and one that played out in full expression in the days following the October 5th launch of a blog post entitled, "The Wussification of 140.6" written by today's guest, Billy Hafferty.Needless to say, Billy was showered in perspective shortly after publishing this piece. The was response magnified once IronCowboy James shared it to his tens of thousands of Facebook followers. Some people agreed with Billy and validated the content while many argued against him. Some were more polite than others but again, it's all just in the way you see it. BJ and I watched it all go down from afar and in today's episode we talk with Billy about his intent in writing the post and what it felt like to be on the receiving end of the commentary. But Billy is more than just a controversial blog post author, he is a free-lance writer and a plant-based endurance athlete who is on the search for his purpose in this life. I love the depth of this conversation and the honesty in which Billy engages despite my constant digging for more.Thank you for tuning in this week.

Billy Hafferty, Plant-Based Endurance Athlete on Growing a Pear?

SOS stands for Survival of the Shawangunks which Billy tells me are called "the gunks." The S.O.S. Triathlon is a special race in upstate New York with a small but extremely loyal following. After hearing Billy describe the race I think for good reason. Billy blogs at Race Reports from an Unconventional Endurance Athlete. Like so many of us Billy started his road to endurance sports with the goal to lose a few pounds. Before the interview started Billy and I tried to look up how to correctly say Shawangunks which is part of the Catskills Mountains in New York but we were not entirely successful in figuring it out. So I hope that somebody listening will correct my attempt to find the pronunciation. Billy found the S.O.S. Triathlon through the American Zofigen Duathlon. It took Billy a few tries to register for the SOS Triathlon because it has a unique registration tradition. There are 8 stages to the SOS Triathlon. Stage 1 is a time trial bike on the roads. Stages 2-8 start with a quick trail run to the lake and then you jump into a lake for a quick swim. Then it goes back and forth swim -run, swim - run all the way to the finish. We talk about each stage of the race. How he handled swimming in between running and what he did with all his swim stuff when he wasn't swimming and his run stuff when he was swimming. We talk about how you handle that feeling that seems to come up in every long event "why am I doing this?" We talk about my big question with swim-run events which is do you get leg or toe cramps? And of course, we talk about the finish. What's next for Billy Hafferty is Ironman Coeur D'Alene and he gives a good shout out to his coach Jeff at Breakthrough Performance. He is one of three people I know training for CdA so let's wish them all luck.
