Anytime you go from one extreme to the next, you develop aches and pains. I am pretty broken, but luckily I can take the pain, especially when I remember why I'm doing all of this.
"David Goggins" (born 1975) is a Navy SEAL and former USAF Tactical Air Control Party member TACP who has served in Afghanistan and is an ultramarathon runner, ultra-distance cyclist, and triathlete. After several of his friends died in War in Afghanistan (2001–present)/Afghanistan, Goggins began long-distance running to raise money. Goggins wanted to enter the Badwater-135 Ultramarathon as a fund raiser, but was told by organizers that he needed to enter another ultramarthon first; as the Badwater is an invitational event. In 2005, Goggins entered the San Diego One Day, a 24-hour track ultramarathon held at the UCSD campus in San Diego. He was able to run 100 miles in under 19 hours despite never having run a marathon before. He was subsequently granted entry into the 2006 Badwater-135. At the 2006 Badwater-135, he finished 5th overall, an unheard of result from an ultramarathon novice at a world-class event.
