: Name: Roy M. Wallack; Location: Irvine, CA, United States

First things first: Why is Roy the Second Fittest Man? Go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wo-aV2jIv4 . . . Roy M. Wallack once biked from the sea to the summit of a 13,796-ft. Hawaiian volcano in a day, debated persistence hunting with a barefoot Kalahari tribesman in a loincloth, and talked his way out of the gulag when he got caught illegally in the USSR. Now, he's trying to figure out how to run and ride until he's at least 100 years old (For proof, get back with me in 50 years). A long-time L.A. Times fitness columnist, he has authored 7 books on cycling, running, and adventure travel (including the bestseller Bike for Life: How to Ride to 100), written for many publications (Outside, Bicycling, Runner's World, Competitor, Muscle & Fitness, Consumer's Digest, and more), been an editor (Triathlete, Bicycle Guide), and never turns down an opportunity to do a crazy athletic event he isn't trained for -- which is how he became the World's Second-Fittest Man in 2004, sanctioned by the Guinness Book of World Records.
