Is there something on your goal list that seems almost impossible? Maybe it's losing 50 pounds. Maybe it's going back to school to get that big degree. Could it be building your dream business from scratch?

For Dallas resident Alex Vidal, brand president of ERA Real Estate, that extreme stretch goal was completing an Ironman triathlon, a grueling test of endurance.

On April 27th, Vidal competed in Ironman Texas in The Woodlands, a race containing a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, followed by a 26.2-mile marathon. Vidal completed this arduous challenge in 13 hours, 19 minutes, and 29 seconds.
