A Personal Biography

When I turned 60, I decided to put together a photo book called “A Year in the Life of Jack Daly” – a daily photograph of something going on in my life. It changes your game when every morning you find yourself wondering, ‘What am I going to do today that will make a memorable photo?” I surely didn’t want a book of hundreds of photos of me sitting at a desk!

I ran my first marathon when I was 46. I really picked up the pace in 2004 when I saw these words on the shirt of a fellow racer: “I ran a marathon in all 50 states.” I now have 49 states completed and will have 50 by 2017. I also decided to run a marathon on all continents—including Antarctica—which was completed in 2016.

I was 57 when I decided the time had come to take on the Ironman competition. The Ironman starts with a 2.4-mile swim, and I didn’t know how to swim. I spent a year getting one-on-one coaching. Then I bought a bicycle and practiced for the 112-mile bike portion. At least I already was a runner which was good since the competition finishes with a 26.2-mile marathon, 146 miles in all.

A year later I did my first Ironman, and now, at age 67, I’ve done 15 full and 30 half Ironmans—and one on each continent. I qualified to race in the world championship for Ironman in Hawaii, which is the ultimate goal. I gleefully crossed the Kona finish line in 2013 and had the pleasure of representing Team USA in 2012.

I’ve played 93 of the top 100 golf courses in the U.S. I bungeed at the world’s first bungee, Kawarau Bridge, and the world’s highest, Nevis Highwire Bungy, both in New Zealand within two hours of one another. I dived with great white sharks off the coast of South Africa and hang glided in Rio de Janeiro. Meanwhile, I average 200,000+ air miles and 125 speeches a year. It’s a busy life but it’s a good life.

I call it “Life by Design.” Throughout my life, I have put my goals in writing, enlisting people to help me achieve them. I make a quarterly report to what I call the board of directors of my life – five people who hold me accountable. Every year I review my goals and share them in detail. Then quarterly I look at what went right and what went wrong preparing for my annual report. People tell me my annual list contains more than some people would do in a lifetime. They’re astonished at how much I intend to get done before I’m dead. To which I say: “If I were to have a tombstone, all I want on it is my name with a check mark.”
