Part of me wants to say that this years edition of Ironman Chattanooga was my hardest Ironman race thus far, except thats not entirely accurate. Ironman is always hard. And hard is relative. In past Ironman races, I’ve dealt with adverse weather conditions, bike mechanical, nutrition and GI issues, all of which make the day more challenging.
What was different this race? Circumstances were neutral. My effort was dictated more by my brain than my body.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know what I’m about. You know I believe nothing is too good to be true. I believe in creating the results I want in my life with conscious and deliberate coaching work that next-levels my brain. But what you may not know is that I also believe the same is possible for you.
But the hometown heroes are the unsung greats that impact our lives in ways we don’t always realize. The world lost one such hero last week.
Bethany Rutledge laid own to take a nap and never woke up. She left this world far too soon, leaving behind a very young family and so much drive to better the world of triathlon.
