Medal Monday - 11:40 at the Ironman World Championship. Honestly, I’m still in shock.

It took a lot of mental work all week to embrace experiencing this race rather than chasing a podium (which wasn’t possible because of my health). I wrote two words on my arms for race day: “truth” and “joy.”

My coach told me to work with the truth on race day. And it’s the hardest thing to do. We all want to live life by our own script. But life often has a different script for us to follow.

As much as one part of me fought that (I cried so much in the days leading up, grieving the race I thought I’d have), the higher part of me aligned with the truth of my situation on race day. I spent all day working within myself in the best way I could to have a solid race from start to finish.

That meant not chasing people up Kuakini Hwy or Palani. Being disciplined with my heart rate even when my watts were embarrassingly low. It meant floating through Ali’i on the run to keep my HR in control. And finally, it meant I could push through running almost the entire marathon, which I didn’t think was possible this year.

I cried tears of gratitude at multiple points in this race, embracing joy. After sleepless nights from hormonal issues, being forced to lay in bed and skip workouts, and crying while watching my watts and run pace slow for months—I was out there on the course doing it anyways. For all those lows, I had joy that I was actually here doing the thing.

It’s a big freaking deal I made it to the start line, and an even bigger deal I made the finish line in 11:40. Mahalo for all of the support. I feel it deeply. taken in IRONMAN World Championship by @tridottraining

The finish line in Kona. 🌋🏁

Congratulations to Garrett on finishing the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona for the 4th time!

Earning a spot on that start line is hard enough. Getting through the swim, the heat, the wind, and the Queen K to the finish on Ali’i Drive is something else. Doing it four times takes years of consistency, patience, and showing up when it counts.

Garrett, we’re proud to have you in the TriDot family. Congrats on another Kona finish! 🙌

“My heart goes out and will always be with the back of the pack.” 🫶
Coach April came to triathlon after seven years of competitive powerlifting. She was a gym rat, not a swimmer. So when she talks about the athletes at the back of the pack, she knows exactly what it takes.
Starting a sport later in life, without the background, the means, or the environment. Taking on three sports instead of one. Finishing healthy and strong. Every part of that is a major accomplishment.
Back-of-the-pack athletes, we see you. Surviving it is hard. Thriving in it is something else, and you’re doing it. 💪

Rain or shine, we get it done. 🌧️🏁

Congrats to Braden R on crossing that finish line! The weather didn’t cooperate, but Braden didn’t flinch. He showed up, put in the work, and finished strong.

That’s the TriDot athlete mindset. Race day doesn’t always hand you perfect conditions, and the training you’ve put in is what carries you through when it gets messy. Every session, every early alarm, every workout you stuck with when the forecast looked rough was preparing you for exactly this moment.

Great job, Braden! 💪

Running behind your goal time on race day? Have a Plan A, a Plan B, and a Plan C. 💡

Coach April Spilde shares her advice for staying on track when things don’t go to plan:

✅ Set a big, audacious Plan A for when everything goes right
✅ Build backup plans for when you’re 30 minutes, an hour, or more behind your projection
✅ Know your limitations, and choose a first race that lets you explore what’s possible instead of overreaching

If you’re a slower triathlete and aren’t sure you can make the overall cutoff, a full IRONMAN might not be the best place to start. Starting where you are helps you build the experience and confidence to go bigger later. 💪

This clip is from this week’s podcast, Thriving in Triathlon at the Back of the Pack. April breaks down cutoff times, fueling and hydration, how training should look different for longer events, and how to move from the back of the pack toward the middle or even the front. 🎧

Practice, believe, and finish strong. 💙

That’s the mantra TriDot Ambassador Dawn Winterhalt writes on every race bib, and last Sunday it took on a new meaning at the Step Up for Mental Health event in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

This was Dawn’s 10th year taking part. Every year she shows up with someone or something in mind. This year, it was for herself.

A chronic injury kept her from running this year, so she walked the 10K with good friends and soaked in the energy of everyone out there running, walking, and showing up for themselves and each other.

Her takeaway: finishing strong takes many forms. This year, it was crossing the line on foot, not at a run. 🏅

Dawn, thank you for sharing your story and for being such a bright part of the TriDot community. We’re proud of you.

Back of the pack is a mindset as much as a placing. 💙

And here’s the reframe from Coach April Spilde: you’re not in last place. You’re a finisher. You’re a triathlete. You’re crossing a finish line most people will never attempt. Lead with that excitement and gratitude, and it gets a lot easier to get out of your own way and let go of the “I’m too slow” story.

🎧 This week on the TriDot Podcast episode: “Thriving in Triathlon at the Back of the Pack,” Coach April breaks down how to meet race cutoff times, fuel and hydrate for longer days, and train differently to build strength and confidence, whether you want to move toward the middle or the front or simply enjoy the whole journey.
