Coming together 

My photos from 2013 race

Today is the second 2022 Ironman World Championship event in Kona.  For the first time Kona split the athletes into two groups, one race held two days ago featuring the women and some age groups.  Roughly 5,000 athletes are here.  The volunteer numbers to support this race is amazing as well.  

This event brings people together either as a athlete or the race support crew.  Overcoming barriers thrills our heart. The race symbolizes our own barriers and how we feel as challenges are overcome. Even though support and problem solving from volunteers isn’t cheered like endurance and perseverance from athletes, it is critical to the race success. Consistent effort from many makes big things possible. 

This divided world needs worthy unified goals to survive. What are yours?
