Putting in the training and organisation needed to be coming 2nd in these sort of long distance endurance races isn't a case of being "a bit selfish", it's an enormous commitment of time, energy, headspace and usually financial outlay.

Good for him - I guess - if he's happy to offload his responsibilities to an extreme and has the means/support to do so. Making a bit of time for yourself (if you can) is a good message, but as usual he presents it in a self-serving, self-aggrandising way without acknowledging his privilege and without noting that his investment in his hobby goes way beyond what is attainable or even desirable for most parents with young children.
