I became an IRONMAN on July 20, 2025 at IRONMAN Lake Placid.

In this episode I briefly recap my journey to the start line, what the race was a like, and a few tips I can share now that I've finished the race.

This is what I've named a little mental trick that got me through the JFK 50 mile ultra marathon back in November.

What tricks do you use? Hit me up on IG, would love to hear them!

My first ultra was a 50K in September. Spoiler alert: I won my age group!

Rain, rain go away?

Stop talking, brain.

Kylexandr Holin, also known as Organic Ironman (@organicironman) is one of the first endurance athletes I started following online.

Seeing him go from half Ironman, to full Ironman has been incredible and talking with him for about an hour about the triathlete lifestyle was SUPER interesting.

I really dig his outlook and how he approaches the sport. Hopefully you will too!

What waits on the other side of 26.2 miles? I decided to find out.
