His wife Monica and his son Ryan were there to witness the 3 hours and 31 minutes as well as other friends and peers. Roy completed this grueling event (12 miles, 26 obstacles) while not being in the best of shape .When asked by his friends, “How in the world did you finish?”, The Marketing Guru replied, “My son called me two days before the event and told me he remembered one of my favorite sayings”, so I asked, “which one is that?” He replied, “In life, when you can’t reach your goals, you sometimes lack the tenacity or desire, so Dad, are you going to finish the Tough Mudder, or did you want to answer your own question?” Yes, Roy Vale is known for never giving up and finding ways to win! Roy Vale was also asked by a colleague as to why he had so many nicknames. He believes that as you journey through the days and years, we must change, adopt, create and react to different “curves” that come our way. I have been blessed to help others while maintaining some decent “nicknames” and yet, enjoy the benefits of the career I have and able to share the my blessings with others!
