At the beginning of 2010, James Lawrence had a goal: to
break the world record of number of Half Ironman Triathlons (called “Ironman 70.3” in the athletic world) in one year.
When he contacted the Guiness World Record folks, they informed him that the
old record was 16, but that to be extra sure, they would only accept a new
record of 20 or higher.
To understand what that means,
consider this: an Ironman 70.3 consists of a 1.2-mile swim, followed by a
56-mile bike ride, followed by a 13.1-mile run. To complete 20 of these in a
year would mean that James would have to finish one every two and a half weeks!
So did James break the old record
and hit the magic number of 20? No! He actually completed 22 Ironman 70.3
races! And he did it in just 30 weeks, meaning he averaged one race every nine
and a half days!
And what role did ASEA play in
helping James shatter the old record? “ASEA was definitely instrumental in my
recovery,” he says, “giving me every advantage I needed to break this record. I
was scared to go off it while attempting this quest!”
James capped his amazing new record
by competing in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Clearwater, Florida in
November.
This year in 2012 James is going for a new World Record of 30 Full Iron Man's setting a new record. He says he is going to do it for Charity! Excellent James. We are cheering for you and your efforts. With ASEA the all Native Redox Signaling Molecule, any thing is possible.
