A response to the question, "Why are you doing this?"

[...] "What I think drives us to seek out great challenges is that it is a choice that we make for ourselves. We don’t have control over the day, but we have control over our decision to pursue this epic journey. We all, for a variety of reasons, chose to wade into the lake with 3,300 other people to undertake something that the typical person would call 'crazy'.

But no one in this room has a burning desire to be, 'typical.' That is not why you do an Ironman. You do an Ironman because you want to reach the stars. And you want to do it the hard way. Because that is what makes it special."
