172 Triathlons. 50 States. 6 Continents. 1 New Hip.
“In 2015, after about 165 triathlons, my groin was tightening and I was starting to limp a little bit. Eventually, I was riding a stationary bike inside and I couldn’t get my leg over the bike seat. I actually crashed on the workout room floor because I couldn’t get on my bike and I just said, ‘Something’s not right here.’”
Doug Morris has completed 172 triathlons in his life.
At the age of 57, he became the first person to complete a triathlon in all fifty states and six continents. But a lifetime of pushing his body to its limits finally started to take a toll on him. As a man with a limitless hunger for a challenge, having to admit that he couldn’t move like he used to was devastating for Doug.
