How I did it
How to win a fantasy league
It took me
9 years
It made me

How I did it: After playing in 1-4 leagues from 2003 to 2012; I finally dove in whole hog.  I joined 10 leagues (although 3 of them were late starting throwaway autodraft leagues).  I managed to finish in 1st place in 50% of those leagues.  I made the playoffs in 7 of the 10 leagues, I made the finals in 4, and I won 2 championships.  The only drawbacks being the 2 Championship games I lost were for about $600.

How to finish a Sprint Distance Triathlon
It took me
12 weeks
It made me

How I did it: Triathlons are a lot like strip clubs, they always sound like a great idea, a sound investment and a wonderful tradeoff for endorphins vs. effort; until you actually get there.The water temp for this swim leg was 62 degrees, and the only thing that kept me from immediately turning around and going home was thinking of my brother in law and the surf torture he is going to endure going through B.U.D.S in the Navy.Thanks C!

How to swim with sea turtles
It took me
1 day
It made me
turtlerific

How I did it: We took a 45 minute ferry from Cozumel to Playa Del Carmen, from there, we took a private bus 30 minutes to Akumal, a natural sea turtle sanctuary. Our wonderful guides Ramon, Jorge and Jorge Dos took care of us the entire day.  When we were done with our swim we had lunch and a brief beach break at an All Inclusive Resort along the Maya Riviera.  We couldn't have asked for a better time.
