A little farther South in Tulsa, Ok will be Jon and Chrissy competing in the Triathlon of Tulsa which is an Olympic distance race. On Sunday morning locally will be Shawn, Audrey and Jan participating in the Tanganyika Tiger Trot 15k at the Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, KS. Jim and Tanya will be competing at the Ford Ironman Wisconsin which takes place in and around Madison. The race features over 45,000 spectators lining the course through Wisconsin farm land and downtown streets of Madison. The finish line is the most recognizable of all the US Ironman events; it is located in front of the Wisconsin state capitol in the heart of Madison. Last but not least will be Julie participating at the Marine Corps Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Henderson, NV. The race will feature the worlds best 70.3 athletes and with a new venue and course this year, it promises to be one of, if not the most difficult 70.3 course in the country! Good luck to all athletes! Go fast and have fun!!

You are an Ironman

Matt — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:48:13 +0000

Adam Wright from Wichita, KS — you are an Ironman!! Lisa Conklin from Wichita, KS — you are an Ironman!! For anyone who has ever competed in an Ironman race, the sweetest moment of all is when you are about to complete your journey of the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and the 26.2 mile run in front of family, friends and hundreds of other screaming people. As you’re running towards the finish line, your hear “the voice of Ironman” Mike Reilly scream out your name followed by the words: “YOU ARE AN IRONMAN”!!

This past weekend in Louisville, KY, MFIT athletes Lisa Conklin and Adam Wright heard those exact words! After months of training and the drive to challenge not only their physical ability, but their mental ability as well, Adam and Lisa are ready for their next challenge whatever that may be. It’s often said the finish line is just the starting line for your next journey, and I truly believe that. The ability to complete what is believed to be the hardest one day sporting event in the world, gives you the confidence that anything is possible! Congratulations Lisa and Adam and thanks for allowing me to help you along the way!
