From Couch to Ironman in One Year?
Today I was browsing the interwebs looking at triathlon and training related articles, when I saw a link to a thread on a popular triathlon message board asking if it was possible to go from a couch potato to an Ironman in one year.
All I can say is that I’m glad I was too dumb to go online and start asking others for their advice to find out if it was possible.
A little background here - in December of 2018 I was quite a bit more than a couch potato:  I was drinking 5-6 days per week.  My diet was 90% fast food.  I hadn’t swam a lap since 1995.  Just two months earlier, I had nearly died by running less than ¼ of a mile, and aside from the freestyle and BMX bicycles from my youth, I had never ridden a bike.
Understand that my initial goal was not to become an Ironman in December of 2018 - I was simply just tired of being tired, fat, drunk, and depressed.  I needed something to motivate me to change.  At THAT time, I assumed I would need six months or more to train for a 5k obstacle course, race, so I chose a Spartan event here at the home of the Dallas Cowboys in AT&T Stadium.  That race was for June 22, 2019, and I thought that I needed every second of that to get ready so that I wouldn’t: A) Die at Jerry’s World, B) Embarrass the shit out of myself in front of my wife and kids, and C) Just say “fuck it”, quit, and not finish the race.
After signing up for that race and motivated as hell, something happened…  While my body obviously wasn’t crazy about running, confidence in my physical ability that I assumed was gone forever started to reappear.  I still clearly remember distinctly run/walking and thinking that before too long, I may be able to run one mile without stopping.  The idea of that had me thinking that maybe I could do a little more than just a 5k.
A few weeks later, I committed to training for an Ironman.  Of course, going from a 5k obstacle race to an Ironman was borderline insane, especially how untrained I was at each of the specific disciplines - by no stretch was I to be confused with a runner or a cyclist, and I promise you, no one was confusing me for Michael Phelps.
Maybe people make the decision to race Ironman all of the time and don’t make it for any number of reasons.  They train to get ready to just “sign up” and never do.  They get injured and have a legitimate reason to back out.  
Or maybe they just realize that the body isn’t designed to swim 2.4 miles, bicycle 112 miles, and then run a 26.2 mile marathon within 17 hours.  I am sure there are a number of reasons why 3000 people sign up and don’t cross the finish line (or start training for it and never even sign up).  In my case, Ironman was probably just a “fool’s errand”, and something that seemed like a good idea in the comfort of my living room while I’m fed, hydrated, and rested.
By no metric was I capable of becoming an Ironman.  But fortunately, I am a bumblebee.
From a physics standpoint, a bumblebee’s wings are too short for it’s over-sized body, and hypothetically, no matter how hard a bumblebee flaps it’s wings, it is not capable of flying.  
The only issue with that is that the bumblebee doesn’t realize that it isn’t supposed to be able to fly, so it just does it anyway.
Simply put, I am too stupid to realize limitations and to recognize impossible when I am staring dead at it, so I just do it anyway.
I am asked multiple times per week for advice on Ironman,  People want to know what training program I follow, could I train them, are there books to read, websites to visit, videos to watch, etc.  To be frank, yes, I could absolutely design a training program that if followed could get most anyone ready to finish an Ironman.  
But in reality, Ironman is way more mental than it is physical, and the reason that most people don’t sign up, show up, and/or finish an Ironman race is because they don’t believe they can.  Somewhere along the line they let the noise within their own minds and the opinions of others talk them out of their goals.
Had I believed everything that I heard, read, and even thought, I would not have experienced hearing Mike Reilly say “Boyd Myers, you are an Ironman”.  
My advice is simple.  If you’re serious about running an Ironman or any other seemingly different physical feat, being too stupid to realize that you can’t do it is where you need to start.  It doesn’t have to be an Ironman, an ultra-endurance event, or anything physically related at all - we talk ourselves out of greatness because we become too smart to just follow our instincts and do what we need to do to not only survive, but to thrive.  
My other bit of advice would be this: Just get fucking started.  Analyzing it, talking about it, thinking about it, planning for it - those things are great, but somehow the smarter we get the more we find ways to convince ourselves as to what is possible and that we are limited.  I can tell you, there are a lot of nerds in triathlon that love to throw fancy training terms, philosophy, phrases, and ideas at you.  They’ll start a pissing match about what you’re doing versus what their trainer says, equipment, time, future races, past races, or anything else in the world making you think “I’m totally out of my element”.
Understand  that you cannot be too dumb to be a triathlete, however, like anything else, you can be too smart to do it and “think” yourself right out of doing something amazing.  While an amazing part of being human is learning from our pasts and using logic to determine the best course of action, it is also a poison that in many cases serves as a self-induced limiter as to what we realize we are capable of.
Right now, my long term race focus is on ultra-triathlons - doubles, triples, Ultraman, etc.  I’m hooked.  In the short term, my next event is a 100k run.  Considering that Ironman Arizona 2019 was my first ever marathon (and the furthest I have ever run), I am excited to push myself past what most people believe is humanly possible (especially for me).  Now, however, it seems that I have a lot fewer doubters than I had during my Ironman prep.
By the way, I don’t know if it is possible to go from the couch to Ironman in twelve months, but it is absolutely possible to do it in eleven months.

1. Actress - Lara Schroer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🇫🇷“Mon histoire de confinement est comme tout le monde celle de l’interruption de la vie de tous les jours, mais elle a été accompagnée par un plus gros changement encore, bien plus douloureux à supporter... le confinement pour moi c’était donc de la tristesse et beaucoup de réflexion. Je ne suis (très clairement) pas danseuse du tout et j’ai d’abord appréhendé devoir créer une chorégraphie. J’ai commencé par faire du free style pour voir comment mon corps réagissait instinctivement à la musique, c’est comme ça que j’ai trouvé ma chanson. Puis j’ai regardé des vidéos de danses qui me plaisaient et piqué des petits élément ici et là. Je suis contente d’avoir dit oui à ce cours malgré mon appréhension. Il m’a donné un moyen d’expression dont j’avais beaucoup besoin et que je n’aurais jamais tenté par moi même. Je continue à faire du free style en guise de cardio :). Ce cours m’a forcé à réfléchir à qui j’étais durant cette période, et m’a fait réaliser à travers les exercises de Margaux que je me forçais à rester zen en faisant du yoga et de la méditation tous les jours mais j’avais gagné un tel contrôle sur mes émotions que je ne les laissais plus sortir. La zen attitude a ses limites....Merci Margaux pour ce projet ultra thérapeutique, ultra créatif et surtout super fun!” - Lara Schroer 🇺🇸“[My story of confinement is like everyone else's; the interruption of everyday life, but mine was accompanied by an even bigger change, much more painful. For ne this quarantine has meant sadness and a lot of self reflection. I am not a dancer and I first feared creating a choreography. I started by doing freestyles to see how my body reacted instinctively to music, and that's how I found my song. Then, I watched dance videos that inspired me and used certain moves here and there. I'm glad I said yes to this course despite my apprehension; it gave me medium to express my emotions, which was needed and that I would have never tried on my own. I now continue to do freestyles as cardio :).This course forced me to think about who I am right now.

Featured artist: Ejypt - New to the Freshman List
As part of our ongoing "Rap's New Generation" series, today we sat down with the upcoming underground artist Ejypt from Los Angeles to talk about his recent music, his upcoming projects, his career advice and his overall experiences being in the music industry and he did not disappoint...
Thanks for taking the time to talk with us, Ejypt! Let's go back to the beginning of your career. How did you decide to become an artist?
Ejypt: As a kid I always used to freestyle with my boys, or have "roast battles". I never thought to take it a step further until one day a close friend of mine set up a mini studio in their apartment bathroom where I record my first single Don't Touch. In a weeks time I had thousands of streams on that song and knew I couldn't stop there!
Don't let the game change you, you change the game
- Ejypt
What about concerts? Do you play live?
I have had the opportunity to perform at clubs in Los Angeles and in Maryland.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
Get Squenked! Be Squenked! Stay Squenked!
- Ejypt
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
I am currently working on my Album "AMBAZONIA" and recently released a pre album project called Ultra Instinct. All produced by Johnny Juice!
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
As long as the passion and trust is there, yes! I don't necessarily want to sign to a label just for the deal or the name. I want to be apart of and represent a label that understands me as an artist, believes in my music 100% and has a goal of seeing us rise to new heights as a collaboration. If it's the right fit, go for it!
Any last words?
I will forever and always shoutout my friends and family in the DMV and my family in the Valley! SQUEEENK!!! (Lit)
Where can people follow you to stay up-to-date?
Ejypt: Https://open.spotify.com/track/4ff7TqfqlZHMJsXbGMLCNr?si=EzCvV3n1Sgarh_YV6mxV2Q
Thank you for your time. We wish you much success in your further career.
