?? Celebrating a Champion! ?? Our very own Max Jaffe just conquered the 2024 Ironman World Championship, finishing in an astounding 9 hours and 53 minutes—a testament to his grit and mental resilience. For Max, the Ironman is about more than physical strength; it’s a test of mental fortitude. Less than 0.01% of the population has ever completed an Ironman, and qualifying alone is a feat, requiring competitors to outpace 90% of their age group in a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon. Among 2,282 elite athletes, Max placed 570th, getting stronger with every mile as others began to fall behind. His ability to push forward when the race was at its toughest (namely the wind, heat and humidity) speaks to his exceptional perseverance and focus. This is Max's second time in Kona. Here’s how he did it: Swim: 2.4 miles in 1:08 Bike: 112 miles in 5:01 Run: 26.2 miles in 3:27 Join us in applauding Max for this incredible achievement, a powerful reminder of what’s possible when determination meets dedication! ????

Congratulations to Max Jaffe, Vice President Originations at Z2 Investment Management, LP.

Max finished 21st out of 2,069 amateur finishers, earning a spot at the 2024 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Max executed his race with a steady effort, his heart rate always in Zone 2.
