1999 was a turning point for me. I was about to turn 50 and the world was about to undergo a millennium change. I started a business, a PhD program, and I started running to balance out the other two pursuits.
2002: I ran my first marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon.
2003: I ran the Boston Marathon.
2004 - 2010: I did numerous triathlons, up to the half Ironman distance. Then I had rotator cuff surgery and quit swimming, so no more triathlons.
2007 on: I rode a "century" (100 miles) about once a year for several years.
2014: I sold my business and retired.
2015: I cycled across the US with a small group called Ride to Awareness for mental health awareness.
2016: I cycled across the US again cycling on my own but with a support car/driver and set my first Guinness World Record.
2018: I cycled across Canada and set my second Guinness World Record.
