Summary

With over 50 athletes on the course, including co-host, Mike, C26 Triathlon created a slew of memories at Ironman Chattanooga. The weather was perfect, but we were once again reminded how HARD it is to do these races. We get into the swim, bike, run from both an on and off the course perspective. Mike tells the story of his battle with Phil and Chet in what many called “The Crushing Iron War II.” We talk about how some people keep getting better and others continue to struggle in this sport. And finally how to evolve and grow with gratitude and why it’s so important to have fun.

Topics:

Why we do this
Ironman as a metaphor for life
Everyone hurts
There are no perfect days
Under prepared
Playing the middle-ground and why it’s smart
Mike talks about the pain
Just slow down as much as possible
Mike loses the Crushing Iron War
Gratitude and Emotions
When you come “this close” to putting it all together
The finish Line
Tri Club Champions
The C26 Team was in full force
Happy and Healthy
When we miss the big point of it all
Changing your perspective
Evolving and growing
If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong
How many times can we get off the mat
People struggle with being in the ballpark
Dedicated to figuring out how we can have fun
