Refusal to play small

I’ve been running marathons for over a decade. In early 2022, I received a heart diagnosis that threatened my active lifestyle. Most people would have scaled back; I decided to scale up.

A few weeks later, I signed up for my first Ironman.

Why endurance

Endurance balances me.

Long rides and runs create space. Sometimes to think deeply. Sometimes to let thoughts pass. Doing hard things voluntarily makes the rest of life easier.

What it taught me

Consistency compounds.

Control the controllables.

Refusal to play small.
