...on making it through the season, your efforts, will, and hard work at Ironman Lake Tahoe.
The week leading into Ironman was probably filled with ups and down, highs and lows, much like a roller coaster. One of the most challenging parts of that week is not doing much of anything...and facing the imminent changes that could have potentially changed the outcome of Ironman being a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run.
I think back to Ironman St. George in 2010. The water temperature was in the 50's and air cold, but not as cold as IMLT. Athletes huddled in the changing tent to keep warm, transition times were long, fingers numb, and motivation questionable for many. That was a memorable year for many and DNF rates were high.

Be well,
