| Introduction | Jeff Grant is an amateur ultra-endurance athlete and a hillseeker in all walks of life. A citizen of the world, Jeff lives with his wife and high school sweetheart Becky in Switzerland. They've traveled to dozens of countries on six continents and experienced a variety of adventures, from climbing Kilimanjaro to backpacking in grizzly bear country. Jeff's adventures include shark diving in the Galapagos, mountaineering in the Andes, rock and ice climbing in the Rockies, and jungle trekking in Southeast Asia. Jeff has finished 5 ultra-distance triathlons, including the 2000 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii and the 2007 Inferno in the Swiss Alps. He has also completed numerous marathons and ultra marathons, including the 2008 Marathon des Sables 155 mile run in the Sahara Desert, and the 100-mile Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc race in 2009. Prior to becoming an endurance athlete in 1996, Jeff was 65 pounds (30kg) overweight and led a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle. Motivated by his concerned family members, Jeff decided to embark on a new, healthy lifestyle and has never looked back. He still cherishes this motivation and the new life that it brought. |
