David Goggins is a Navy SEAL and former USAF Tactical Air Control Party member TACP who has served in Afghanistan and is an ultramarathon runner, ultra-distance cyclist, and triathlete. After several of his friends died in Afghanistan, Goggins began long-distance running to raise money. Goggins wanted to enter the Badwater-135 Ultramarathon as a fund raiser, but was told by organizers that he needed to enter another ultramarthon first; as the Badwater is an invitational event. In 2005, Goggins entered the San Diego One Day, a 24-hour track ultramarathon held at the UCSD campus in San Diego. He was able to run 100 miles in under 19 hours despite never having run a marathon before. He was sunsequently granted entry into the 2006 Badwater-135. At the 2006 Badwater-135, he finished 5th overall, an unheard of result from a ultramarathon novice at a world-class event. Since this beginning, Goggins has competed in numerous long distance endurance events, most notably ultra-marathons; with the aim of charity for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which gives college scholarships and grants to the children of fallen special operations soldiers.
