It’s great to welcome Sean Astin back on the show to talk about what he’s been up to in the last year.

In 2015 Sean completed the Dopey Challenge, the Boston Marathon, and the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon which requires a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile cycle, and 26.2 mile run in under 17 hours.

Sean is a Hollywood actor, director, family man, marathoner and creator of the #Run3rd.

Interview with Sean Astin

Sean was invited to participate in last year’s Ironman Triathlon Championships in Kona, Hawaii. It was his first triathlon and he only gave himself 5-6 months of preparation. He finished in 15:30:31!
