IRONMAN World Championship. Kona. 🌺🇿🇦

A dream come true and a day I’ll never forget.
Months of preparation, thousands of kilometres, early mornings, sacrifices, doubts and so much belief all leading to one start line on the Big Island.

Kona has a way of testing you in ways you can never fully prepare for. It’s a race that demands respect, challenges you physically and mentally, and reminds you why you fell in love with this sport in the first place.

There are lessons to take away, things to celebrate and plenty to reflect on. But above all I’m incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to race on this stage with the worlds best. 

Thank you to my family, friends, coaches and sponsors for believing in me and being part of this journey. Your support means more than you know.

Kona, you were special. Until next time. 🌺🤙🏼

To my family and friends, my coaches, and the incredible sponsors who have believed in me and backed me along the way thank you for helping me get to this start line. I wouldn’t be here without you.

Tomorrow I get to live a dream and race on the biggest stage in our sport. I’m grateful for every step that’s brought me here and now it’s time to give it everything I’ve got.

See you at the finish. 🇿🇦🌺🤙🏼

First post on this Magical Monday we have our youngest athlete representing #TeamSA at Kona this year. Taylor Chaning-Pearce, or more affectionately known as TCP.

TCP is a super talented young athlete that has really broken onto the scene this year, earning a Kona slot in her first ever Full Ironman event at Ironman South Africa 2026. TCP is a farm girl from KZN, training in the brutal undulating terrain of rural Greytown. 

We have heard TCP doesn't drive the tractors but rather commutes across the farm on foot in Carbon plated vellies.

TCP is a ray on sunshine to anyone who has ever met her and her sunny disposition is a great addition to TeamSA. She has an unbelievable future in the sport. Taken under the wing of the legendary coach @em_pallant we all believe she is going to do great things going forward.

Good luck TCP, South Africa is all behind you and we wish all the best on the big Island. Go have a blast 🇿🇦🇿🇦💪🏼🔥
