Why an Ironman?
One of my goals before turning 50 was to compete in an Ironman (70.3) Triathlon. I wanted to do something that would inspire my kids, clients, colleagues, students, family and friends. Ironman, as the name suggests, is a serious endurance race. It consists of a 1.2 mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56 mile (90 km) bike ride and a 13.1 mile (21.1 km) run. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but neither is starting a law practice. In this note, I reflect on the lessons learned from that experience and hopefully provide some encouragement for your own law practice.
