Once again, C26 Triathlon was on the ground for the entire day at Ironman Louisville. Today, we recap the sites and sounds of another truly moving experience. We're always reminded of how grateful we should be to be able to do this sport and Sunday we saw loads of incredible moments. We also talk about the cancelled swim, the volunteers, the modified start, and feedback from the new run course.

  • What stuck out to us
  • Run course turns/out and backs
  • Cancelled Swim thoughts
  • The cold weather start
  • “Please don’t let my dad die tomorrow”
  • Wrapping Your Mind Around Ironman
  • Awesome Volunteers
  • Hugs and Embraces 32:00
  • Emotional Finishes/Roller Coasters
