TRIPOLAR - The Story of a Bipolar Triathlete | Ultra Tim Davis | Elevation Recovery (Ep. 172)

In this video, Matt Finch interviews Ultra Tim Davis. Here is a snippet from Tim's website: "I wasn't always an active healthy person.  I had a long history battling drug addiction and alcoholism, and I suffer from bipolar disorder, coupled with being very overweight and not very active.  After several rehabs, I finally got sober, but then I gained over 70 pounds in my first year of getting sober from drugs and alcohol.  On Dec. 31st, 2008, I stepped on the scale and weighed over 250 lbs at only 5 ft, 8 inches tall - this was almost all excess fat and not muscle.  My doctor told me that I was pre-diabetic and might not make it to 50 years old at the rate I was going.  That was my wake up call.  I made a decision to stop eating seconds, quit smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, and to exercise for at least 1 hour everyday.  I vowed to stop being a full-time couch potato, and I wouldn't  allow myself to lay on the couch and watch TV or play video games, unless I had exercised for at least an hour already that day. I re-joined my local gym.   Then lost over 60 lbs in under 6 months, and then I signed up for a half ironman triathlon.   Once I saw what I could do with a stronger, fitter body, I was hooked.  After successfully completing that half-ironman, I started doing full ironman triathlons every year for several years until I moved up to ultra endurance racing events that are even longer and more grueling than ironman triathlons.   I have scaled all of the tallest mountains in and around southern California, as going to  the summit of Mt. Whitney - the highest peak in the 48 contiguous states. I have gone in caves and up canyons. My passion for fitness is based on a passion for living life to its fullest, and it has helped and continues to help me manage my recovery from drug addiction and bipolar disorder."
