Thomas Levis – Ironman Lawyer
My wife thinks I have a loose screw in my 58 year old noggin. So do some of my friends and law partners. You see, on May 7, 2011, after a year of training, I competed in the St. George, Utah Ironman triathlon. I swam 2.4 miles, rode my bike 112 miles and then ran a marathon.
Well, a screw loose I may have, but I am in the best shape of my life. I have an amazingly low heart rate, my blood pressure is perfect and I have no health complaints whatsoever. During the year of training, I became significantly smarter about healthy nutrition. It’s amazing how quickly you learn what an 8:00PM “Blizzard” will do to you the next morning during a 4:30AM long bike ride! I became a much more efficient lawyer. The hours spent training every day taught me a great deal about time management. I made lots of new friends at the gym and on the roads, including a few crazy old codgers just like me. I even got some business out of my daily exercise routine. I can’t say I enjoyed the last 6 miles of the marathon, but I am glad I trained and competed.
Will I do another Ironman? Sorry, I can’t tell you. My wife would kill me.
