Summary

There are no excuses on race day, and there are none in life. At least that's what Mike Reilly, the Voice of IRONMAN, says. On this episode, hosts Andrew Harley and Vanessa Ronksley welcome back Mike - not only as a returning guest on the show, but also as TriDot's new "Chief Motivation Officer." Hear from Mike as he reflects on the IRONMAN finish lines and the lessons that shine through on race day. Some of the lessons are specific to racing. Others apply on and off the course. But all of them are sure to make you think as he connects each lesson with stories and words of inspiration. A big thanks to UCAN for being a long-time partner of the podcast!
