Winston-Salem, NC – October 9, 2006, – Attorney David D. Daggett, of Winston Salem, has qualified and will compete for a fourth time in the Ironman World Triathlon Championships in Kona, Hawaii on October 21, 2006.

Daggett believes that “most of us have fears that keep us from fully exploring our inner selves. We usually do not fear our limitations – those are known. Rather, we fear exploring our furthest abilities – those are unknown.” This is part of his motivation for participation in the competition.

Daggett, 46, Managing Partner at Lewis & Daggett Attorneys, will be competing in his 15th Ironman distance event, which includes a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile marathon run. Daggett also has in excess of 140 other triathlon finishes. "To me, a lot of what I do athletically is a metaphor for what I do professionally," he says. "Both take dedication and planning, and there are goals and finish lines."
