15 athletes toed the line in Kona. All 15 finished.

On a day where nothing is guaranteed, we brought home a 100% finish rate with some very strong racing. We had stellar rookie debuts, podium finishes, and some gritty and patient racing amongst significant adversity. This team may be small, but we came to fight and left as the 7th highest scoring team on the world’s biggest stage. Every performance mattered.

For now, Mahalo, Kona. See you next year. 🌺

Do an Ironman they say… it will be fun to push yourself 👀💀🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

I can confirm it is fun to push yourself, but there are dangers associated with normalizing the amount of training we get accustomed to in this lifestyle. Be aware of them and look out for each other.

7th best scoring team in the world, on the world’s biggest stage. 🌎

We may not be one of the biggest teams, but we came to fight. Amazing performances across the board from our athletes that we’ll be highlighting in the coming days.

The Ironman World Championships might be the best single day endurance sports event on earth. These athletes are so inspiring, so incredible, so tough. They race terrifyingly close to human limits and often cross over.

It was so heartbreaking watching @magnuselbaekditlev and @solveig_lovseth hit their limits in search of a world championship. Both pushed the race to the brink only to come up tantalizingly close. They are both among the best to ever do it, and though it didn’t work out yesterday it can teach us mere mortals a valuable lesson of what it takes to reach impossibly high goals.

What a beautiful story you both told in setting up the greatest @ironmantri world championship I’ve ever watched.

How hard are you willing to push to reach your greatest highest? Are you willing to risk it all?

I’ve been lucky to be there twice. Follow me to learn from all the mistakes Ive made

Congrats to all my friends and teammates that competed yesterday. Special congrats to @everymanconrad who is the third fastest overall amateur on earth 🌍 and @lznptri who won another bowl in her AG. What A Day!!!

KONA DAY!!!

My favorite day of the year. It’s a little more favorite when I get to be there. Second best is having the privilege to know so many incredible people competing today.

Kona may well very be the most challenging single day event in endurance sport. Gaining entry requires being one of the fastest age graded triathletes on planet earth limited to 2500 athletes.

The most wonderful thing about this sport is the people. In my 18 years in this sport, I’ve made wonderful friends and teammates. These people are elite athletes, but even more elite people.

As they embark on a truly rewarding day, I hope you get calm seas, calm winds, low humidity, and a bit of cloud cover on that run.

Love you all. If you are there, you’ve already won. I respect and look up to each of you in a different way. Regardless of result you are an inspiration.

24 hours from Kona. Wasn’t good enough to he there this year so I’ll re-live my second as a pacifier….

Big goals sometimes take years to develop. When they do, live in that moment, don’t take it for granted, because you never know when it will happen again…

Top Gunz 🤝 @ku_cycle 🙌🏻

We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing partnership with a company who doesn’t just sell bikes, but backs their athletes 100% both before and after that sale is made. Some of our team members were on site at the Kú Villa here in Kona getting service done on site by their head mechanic, and one of our athletes even had a crash replacement bike brought here by the Kú team and @ttbikefit just for him to race on this weekend. We are stoked to have 5 Top Gunz athletes proudly racing on their Kús this Saturday! We can’t wait to watch them fly ✈️
