The fountain of youth is movement. Life is a shooting star, burn bright. Only a tenacious few will evade the smudge of history’s eventual eraser. It is a comforting moment when we suddenly realize that our commitment to race, to participate in something so important to us-our dream-will be actualized. We have made it to the starting line. In this moment, the probability that we will do the event reaches 100 percent. The hundreds of things that can go wrong leading up to an Ironman have been cleverly averted, and the thousands of things required to get to the start are all now officially history. Our business culture is ruled by short attention spans and time-gulping demands. Someone wasting your time is far worse than someone wasting your money. If you want to know who’s high on your priority list, check your phone records.
