The Iron Cowboy is back on the Dream Big Podcast! \\xa0 James Lawrence earned his nickname by completing 50 Ironman distance triathlons, in 50 days, in each of the 50 United States.\\xa0 A single Ironman alone is an incredible accomplishment -- as it consists of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. \\xa0 To do 50 Ironman races in 50 days across 50 days seemed unthinkable, until James did just that in 2015. \\xa0 James posted the following quote on his Instagram earlier this year:\\xa0 \\u201cTolerance for Monotony is a very underrated superpower.\\u201d\\xa0 Eva asked us what the quote meant, and we said:\\xa0 \\u201cWell you know James!\\xa0 Why don\\u2019t you ask him directly?\\u201d\\xa0 And that\\u2019s exactly what she did, and James was kind enough to answer :)\\xa0 James starts his answer by defining the word \\u201cmonotony\\u201d (as we are sure that a lot of the younger Big Dreamers may not have even heard the word\\xa0 \\u201cmonotony\\u201d before), and then shares how he would have never completed the 50-50-50 and become the Iron Cowboy without learning to embrace monotonous training.\\xa0 Eva also shares her thoughts in this episode as to why monotonous tasks are so important to achieving your big dreams in life. \\xa0 Thank you James for answering Eva\\u2019s question, and by extension sharing this very underrated superpower with the Big Dreamers!\\xa0 Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/222
