From small beginnings in 2018 to — 70.3 IM Colombo 2026. 🌏
Half a world away, surrounded by the people who make saying yes easy. That’s what an authentic community does to you.
There’s a story behind every smile in that group photo. A church that doesn’t just talk about showing up — they show up, on the start line, in the heat, for each other.
Cheri, the cyclist on my team, trained through Wisconsin winter at nearly 69 years old to race in Sri Lankan heat. If that doesn’t inspire you, I don’t know what will. 🙌. Unfortunately our swimmer was unable to do his leg because of a large crocodile causing IM to cancel the swim.
94% humidity. Blazing sun. Zero shade. Beautifully brutal doesn’t even cover it. 🤣☀️
I’ve done a lot of endurance events — but this one? This one goes in the record books. Not for my half marathon time, but for the roar of my WOW family on that course. Absolutely incredible.
If you’re going to suffer, do it with family. 💙
I’m the tall one in the last two photos🤣
