He started as an out-of-shape smoker chasing a ridiculous dream, replaced cigarettes with Saturday 5Ks, discovered late that he had real athletic talent, and eventually pushed himself into marathons, triathlons, Ironman 70.3 racing, and a sub-3-hour marathon at over 200 pounds.
Then life hit harder than any race ever could.
After a catastrophic cycling accident and traumatic brain injury, Richard had to learn that toughness was not enough. The same mindset that helped him suffer through long runs, brutal indoor bike sessions, Boston, Chattanooga, Campeche, and the madness of endurance sport had to be rebuilt into something deeper: a way to survive when the body changed, the brain changed, and the old identity no longer worked.
Do Your Job Anyway is a raw, funny, emotional memoir about endurance, brotherhood, brain injury, discipline, grief, recovery, and the work that begins after the finish line.
It is not just a triathlon book.
It is a story about what happens when performance and pain collide - and what it takes to keep moving when motivation is gone, the crowd is quiet, and the only thing left is the next job in front of you.
This book is for athletes, runners, triathletes, survivors, business owners, comeback seekers, and anyone trying to rebuild momentum after life knocks them sideways.
The finish line is not the end.
Sometimes it is where the real work begins.
