I’ve Done It. I Am an Ironman!

It’s an amazing accomplishment to finish an Ironman. But just to compete is something to be proud of. The training and overall commitment to preparing yourself mentally for such a race is more then most people can comprehend. Natalie suffered a major setback of a fractured foot, yes that is correct a fractured foot, during her training. Such an injury would have sidelined most people’s determination, not to mention their ability, to continue to train but Natalie had a goal and made it a reality. We are glad she shared her experience with our community and wish her luck on her next adventure. Congrats.
