Iron Cowboy Instagram Roundup

James Lawrence, aka the Iron Cowboy, is no stranger to mind-blowing feats of endurance. The 38-year-old currently holds two world records—finishing 22 half-distance 70.3 triathlons in 30 weeks, and finishing 30 full-distance 140.6 triathlons in one year.

As if this weren't enough, the Iron Cowboy is attempting to complete 50 full-distance 140.6 triathlons in 50 days in 50 states. Skeptics claim it's impossible, citing his body and mindset will break before it's over. Lawrence believes otherwise, and is currently wrapping up his second week of racing. ACTIVE.com spent the day with the Iron Cowboy for his Texas leg (day 12), and documented the method in the madness of his entire operation.
