Conquer 100 - The Iron Cowboy Super Triathlon Event
Total Miles Traveled
Starting Feb. 28th, 2021 James Lawrence or "The Iron Cowboy" began his journey to complete 100 full Triathlons in 100 days. Over the course of over 14,000 miles, Lawrence shattered expectations not only reaching his goal, but went beyond the call by completing 101 full triathlons.
Conquer 100 Triathlons
Some people work out to stay in shape, others compete in a triathlon, then there's James Lawrence. Most people can't imagine competing in a full triathlon, but James, nicknamed "The Iron Cowboy" is taking things to a whole new level. Starting March 1st he set out to complete 100 full Triathlons in 100 days. That's 140.6 miles of swimming, biking and running every day from March 1st to June 8th. That's over 2 months of continuous physical endurance!
To help put that into perspective, when he completes this challenge, the Iron Cowboy will have traveled 14,060 mi. That means you could go from Alaska to the Southern most tip of South America, and you would still have traveled fewer miles than him! James has already completed 50 full triathlons in 50 states in 50 days, but he isn't done. While the 50-50-50 was a big accomplishment, The Conquer 100 is his biggest one yet, to complete it, he will be putting his mental and physical limits to the test.

James has partnered with many companies and only uses the finest gear and resources available. One of which happens to be the BiSaddle.
