IRONMAN TRAINING 2021

I set a goal to complete my first IRONMAN in Italy 2020, but a global pandemic had other plans. I reached out to IRONMAN regarding the race scheduled closer to me in Penticton, BC.

This training year started with the passing of my father. It was a challenging time emotionally for me.

On the day of my father's funeral, I received confirmation that would be able to participate in the then sold out, IRONMAN Canada.

I spent the majority of 2021 healing from my loss and focused on the Penticton event.

On June 6th, COVID-19 forced IRONMAN Canada to be re-scheduled from August 29th to September 26th. Then on August 23rd, Penticton 2021 was cancelled due to a COVID outbreak in the region.

Fortunately, IRONMAN Italy 2021 was a go, go, go!
5 days before my 50th birthday, in my father's country of birth, I realized my goal.
