Breaking endurance barriers, one step at a time | Lucy Lawrence & James Lawrence | TEDxTWU
James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence completed 50 Ironman-distance triathlons across each of the 50 states in 50 days. Together with his daughter Lucy, they share that success is achieved in the mind much more quickly than realized physically. The secret is in the little things. “And whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.”
Lucy is 13 and is loving life in Utah. She is in seventh grade and her favorite subject is PE. She is very self motivated and loves to be with friends and family. She comes from a family of five kids, in which she is the oldest, and has always loved it. Lucy was born in Utah and has lived there her whole life, except for a short time in Oregon. She loves running, playing football and basketball, and loves to jump on the trampoline with her siblings. She is a straight-A student and loves going to school and learning.
James is originally from Calgary, Alberta Canada and now lives in Utah. He grew up a wrestler and later in life grew to love endurance racing to escape the hectic routine of corporate America. Although James sets many hours aside for training and racing, he is a father and husband first. He has held several Guinness World records in the racing world. During the summer of 2015, accompanied by his family, he was able to accomplish the unthinkable. Despite everyone saying his end goal was impossible, he completed 50 ironman distance triathlons, in 50 days, in each of the 50 United States.
