Caption : Day 54: FINISH LINE!!! I did it! The Impossible First β . 32 hours and 30 minutes after leaving my last camp early Christmas morning, I covered the remaining ~80 miles in one continuous βAntarctica Ultramarathonβ push to the finish line. The wooden post in the background of this picture marks the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf, where Antarcticaβs land mass ends and the sea ice begins. As I pulled my sled over this invisible line, I accomplished my goal: to become the first person in history to traverse the continent of Antarctica coast to coast solo, unsupported and unaided. While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced. I was locked in a deep flow state the entire time, equally focused on the end goal, while allowing my mind to recount the profound lessons of this journey. Iβm delirious writing this as I havenβt slept yet. There is so much to process and integrate and there will be many more posts to acknowledge the incredible group of people who supported this project. But for now, I want to simply recognize my #1 who I, of course, called immediately upon finishing. I burst into tears making this call. I was never alone out there. @jennabesaw you walked every step with me and guided me with your courage and strength. WE DID IT!! We turned our dream into reality and proved that The Impossible First is indeed possible. βIt always seems impossible until itβs done.β – Nelson Mandela. #TheImpossibleFirst #BePossibleLikes : 52342

Caption : 18 months after being burned in a fire in rural Thailand and being told Iβd never walk again normally, I not only finished but WON the Chicago Triathlon, to my complete and utter surprise. By forcing me to tap into deep reservoirs of potential inside of myself, that initial horrific event set the course of countless extraordinary experiences and achievements to follow. I attribute it all to what I now call a Possible Mindsetβ’ – βan empowered way of thinking that unlocks a life of limitless possibilitiesβ. Itβs a mindset my mother helped me cultivate in that hospital bed almost 15 years ago. She got me to visualize achieving something that seemed out of reach. I committed to DAILY incremental steps that were challenging but non-negotiable; built into my lifestyle over the course of the year and a half to follow. If you feel broken, I want you to close your eyes and visualize yourself whole. What do you see? What are you doing? How does it feel? Our potential to thrive is limitless with the right mindset. #BePossible #possiblemindset #mindsetforsuccess #impossibleisnothingLikes : 10033

Caption : 15 years ago today, I made a terrible mistake on a beach in Thailand and severely burned my legs. The doctors told me I may never walk again normally. Since then Iβve: -Raced as a professional triathlete in 25 countries on 6 continents -Crossed Antarctica on foot pulling a 375 pound sled -Summited Everest twice -Set 10 World Records All using those once burnt legs. If you are facing a setback right now, know that this challenge, this adversity that is in your way can either break you or make you stronger. I encourage you to choose the latter. #BePossible #overcomeadversity #perseverance #thailand #burnaccident #burnLikes : 6398

Caption : One week, alone, in a pitch black cave = PROFOUND PROFOUND – Thatβs not a word I use lightly, but itβs the perfect word to describe my experience of this week alone in the darkness. No light, no music, no podcast, no books, nothing to distract me, just me alone in the dark with my mind. This video was recorded the moment I emerged from the cave and saw light for the first time. I battled discomfort and fear, but on the other side of those emotions, I touched the deepest calm, safe, peaceful, fulfilled state of being that Iβve ever experienced. Itβs like the 1βs and 10βs I talk about. We need to be willing to face discomfort and our deepest fears and challenges, for often on the other side of that we find the most profound depth of purpose and fulfillment. Iβm still gathering my thoughts and integrating all of the lessons I learned in the dark. Iβll certainly be sharing more in the coming days. For now Iβll close with this. I canβt highly enough recommend a darkness retreat. For those that are curious check out @skycaveretreats , this place was phenomenal. And Scott who runs the retreat is truly one of the most incredible humans Iβve ever encountered. #BePossible #Mindset #Dark #DarkRetreat #meditation #retreat #wellnessLikes : 4549

Caption : I’M GOING BACK TO ANTARCTICA. This time, I’m attempting to break a speed record for a 715 mile route from the Hercules Inlet to the South Pole. 5 years ago, I completed the world’s first crossing of the landmass of Antarctica solo, unsupported and human powered. That crossing was a 1000 mile journey over the course of 54 days. This time, I have to cover 715 miles in 24 days. Think I can do it?Likes : 3423

Caption : One thing Iβve learned after a lifetime of pushing my body to its limits: the key to knowing when to press on is to trust my gut. When you know, you know. On K2, my gut told me βdonβt goβ, and that decision saved my life. In Antarctica (on the Impossible First crossing), when I was almost two months into the journey and 77 miles from the finish, my gut was telling me βGo, donβt stopβ. I had been pulling my sled for 12 hours a day and setting up my tent each night, but in that moment I felt so dialed in and connected that I knew I could push on straight to the finish without stopping. 32 hours and 77 miles later, I reached the end. When I made the decision to press on, I was at my weakest point of the journey, physically. But my mind was at its strongest. β¨Limitations change. Listen to your gut. It knows whatβs possible. #BePossible #PossibleMindsetβ’ #ImpossibleFirst #12hourwalk #impossibleisnothingLikes : 3269

Caption : TIME is your most precious resource. You have enough time if you spend it wisely. When I train or prepare for my big projects, I add a lot onto my already-full schedule. Thereβs logistics, planning, preparation, and of course hours and hours of physical training. In your own life, when you look at how much more would have to be added to your plate to achieve whatever goal or vision you have for yourself, itβs natural to tell yourself, βI donβt have enough timeβ. But what will set you apart is your ability to CREATE the time. You are the orchestrator of your schedule, more so than you may realize. Logistics will be involved. Get some help if thatβs not your strong suit. It took a small team and a lot of logistics to bring my 50HP project to a World Record success! I share more stories in the @12hourwalk about how we had to maximize TIME in order to summit the 50 High Points in just 21 days. Start looking at how much time gets inefficiently βwastedβ during your day-to-day. Where could you strategically hire out or get help. What can you cut out for a season? How much of your day is intentional vs. habit? Can you go for a season without certain things that youβve grown accustomed to? If it matters enough to you, there are always ways to re-prioritize your time in a way that serves your growth and your BEST LIFE. It will be worth it! #BePossibleLikes : 2721

From midnight hikes as he earned his Red Hat at 29029, to birthday ski trips, podcasts, and long FaceTime catch-ups during COVID lockdown, Dave was an amazing friend who always had my back. Iβm shocked and deeply saddened by this news. There were many things that defined Daveβs greatness, but for anybody who knew him, his love for his four kids shined the brightest. My heart is with his family in this time of grief. The world is less bright today without you in it my friend. Rest in peace.Likes : 2268

Caption : The most important muscle we have is the six inches between our ears. Iβve found to strengthen my mind, I must take it to the mental gym on a regular basis and put up the reps on the mental bench press, day by day, brick by brick. And then every so often I crave a deeper cut, a more grand quest, to test my mind and explore the deepest levels of consciousness. I suspect this journey will be more like the ultramarathon of mental fitness than a 5k. I welcome the challenge and more importantly I welcome the opportunity to fully surrender to the lessons that will unfold inside of the cave. Phone is going off now. Wish me luck.

We didnβt have much money, and around the time of the 1996 Olympics, my parents had divorced, but nonetheless they selflessly pooled their savings, and together, took me and my sister to the Olympics. They could only afford to buy two tickets to see swimming, so they stayed outside while my sister and I (quite young to be alone in a big crowd) got to experience one of the best memories of my childhood. I am infinitely grateful for my parentsβ sacrifice to inspire us to always dream big. 28 years later, this week is a magical full circle moment where Iβm so grateful to be able to to bring my mom to the Olympics in Paris β and more importantly, to share these memories with her! Sheβs been one of the most influential people in my life, and I know weβll remember this trip for the rest of our lives.Likes : 2136

Caption : 10 DAY SILENT MEDITATION RETREATβ¦Ready go! 10 days, no reading, no writing, no eye contact, complete solitudeβ¦12 hours a day of meditation. A true deep journey into the mind. Itβs been a month since I returned from the darkness retreat, and itβs time to keep strengthening the mind. I have done several 10 day Vipassana meditation retreats over the past decade. Itβs been one of the most life changing practices Iβve ever encountered. @jennabesaw will be there as well, six months pregnant, deeply communing with the spirit of our soon to be born child. (So I guess technically she wonβt be in solitude π) Iβm grateful for this opportunity to go deep as a family. Although weβll be in full silence and solitude the entire time, having this experience in parallel at the same time will no doubt be powerful. See yβall on the other side! #BePossibleLikes : 1961

Caption : This is how I started thinking about lifeβ¦ ππΌ We all want to feel lifeβs highest moments β the 10βs. But we tend to forget that the lows we experience in life, the 1βs, are necessary to appreciate the best moments. Our 1βs and 10βs are connected. We donβt experience our 10βs in spite of our 1βs but rather because of them. So, the next time youβre feeling down, just know that youβre not alone. And it will get better. Iβve been there, I promise you. ππΌ (via @joebudden)Likes : 1803

Caption : It was during my years as a professional triathlete that I discovered the power of meditation and mindset training. A friend asked me, βwhat are you doing to strengthen your mind?β and I had no response. I wanted more edge in competition. I knew I had more in me. Not too long after that I signed up for a 10-day Vipassana (silent meditation retreat). It was one of that hardest things Iβd done at the time, but after those 10 days of silence I felt like a different person. The experience had a massively positive impact on my performance as an athlete, and overall strength and presence of mind. This mindset training is the foundation of my ability to push so hard over the past decade. Without it Iβm not sure there would be any records. Mindset is everything.

Caption : When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself only as you are? Or do you also see the person youβll become? Being able to see the person Iβd become was how I was able to make the leaps I needed to make to accomplish almost every achievement you know me for.Β How I got there was by changing from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. I went from thinking in terms of what I canβt do to what I can do.Β A growth mindset says, βI may be this one person in this moment, but thereβs no reason I canβt grow, evolve, and learn to be any other type of person in the next moment.β Itβs the idea that through hard work and determination, you can learn and improve. This is how I went from never having rowed a boat to achieving a world record for rowing across the Drake Passage. As a team of 6, we crossed the most dangerous ocean way in a rowboat in 2019.

Caption : A fulfilled life isn’t one where you’re happy all the time. It’s one where you are leaning fully into your life and experiencing the full spectrum of what it means to be human. When you do that, it brings you to your edges. It can be challenging, messy, and painful as often as it’s euphoric, rewarding, and inspiring. It’s all part of the full spectrum of life’s experience; the 1-to-10 spectrum that I talk about, with 1’s being our lowest lows and 10’s being our high highs. In this photo above I’m blissfully dancing in a whiteout in Antarctica, days after my crevasse fall.

Caption : All of my world record projects started with NOT having the skills to do them. Before I set off on my first expedition (Explorerβs Grand Slam), I had very little mountaineering experience and even less money in the bank. If I had woken up everyday letting either of those stories define me, I would NOT have been successful. I would not have shared my vision passionately and landed a sponsorship with Nike in the final hour. If I had allowed my current story define me, I would have likely given up. We all have the ability to apply this kind of thinking. So, the next time you are doubting your current abilities, brush off that fixed mindset and instead, βBe your not.βLikes : 1186

Caption : What a wild ride! Iβm re-emerging from an integration period the past few weeks; recalibrating my nervous system after the near fatal crevasse fall in Antarctica by spending time with family and friends. Movement is where I feel at home in my body and come alive.Β Β Getting to ride my bike on Kauai this month has been the perfect way to start transitioning my mind and body back to life, as I pave the way for future goals and adventures! A few things Iβve learned (or been reminded of) while processing and reflecting this month:Β Β 1. Life if precious, it can be over in an instant, so make sure each day you are optimizing for depth and fulfillment 2. There is so much to be grateful for each day. 3.

Caption : WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. Iβll never forget what one incredibly wealthy 75-year old man said to me with an air of deep regret a few years ago: βIβve made more money than you could dream of, but thereβs not a day that goes by that I donβt think back to the simplicity of summer on a rowboat… I wonder what my life would have looked like had I had the gumption to ask myself what my βEverestβ was. What I wanted vs. what was expected or esteemedβ¦β Anything is possible. What do YOU want to experience, what impact do YOU want to have, how do you want your days to feel? What is YOUR Everest? If it feels impossible or out of reach, check out The 12-Hour Walk (book)! It dismantles the most common limiting beliefs that get in the way of the life we want. #BePossible #whatisyoureverest #12hourwalk #experiencesoverthings #PossibleMindset #POSSIBLEMINDSETβ’Likes : 1179

Caption : Whipping antarctic winds upwards of 70 mph threatening to snap your only set of tent poles, on top of 12-hour days pulling a 300lb sled on a massive calorie deficit. Would you?! Days like this on my Antarctica crossing (The Impossible First) ultimately led to the highest highs, greatest peace, and strongest mental fortitude Iβd ever experienced in my life at that point. Let me ask you againβ¦ Knowing whatβs possible on the other side, would you?! #BePossible #impossiblefirst #worldfirst #stormyweatherLikes : 1078

Caption : Break out of the ZONE OF COMFORTABLE COMPLACENCY between 4-6. If you saw my IG story yesterday, I shared that Iβll be headed into the darkness in a couple weeks: a dark cave – alone – one week. Leaning into discomfort and the depths of my mind. You can imagine the depths and the light on the other sideβ¦ Follow along! #BePossible #comfortzone #peaklife #darknessLikes : 1031

Caption : Pain is mandatory. Life can be hard – challenges and hardships will come – but suffering is optional. You choose how you react and the story you tell yourself about it. Itβs empowering to train this mindset with the physical and then apply it in all areas β mental, emotional, professional. #BePossible #growthmindset #thistooshallpassLikes : 1030
