In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Mike shares his unforgettable experience racing the very last Ironman 70.3 in St. George, Utah. From the stunning red rock landscape to the incredible hospitality of the Argyle family, Mike paints a vivid picture of the days leading up to race day.

However, the race took an unexpected turn when Mike was involved in a bike crash around mile 6, damaging both his brand new Canyon Speedmax and his shoulder. Battling intense pain, Mike faced multiple moments where quitting seemed like the only option. Determined to finish, he began the run planning to power walk the half marathon—only to realize by mile 4 that he wouldn’t make the cutoff.

In a gutsy move, Mike found a way to stabilize his injured arm and “run” the downhill sections, ultimately crossing the finish line with 27 minutes to spare. Post-race, he was evaluated by medical staff and is currently awaiting x-ray results, with a possible MRI still ahead.

Despite the pain and setbacks, Mike reflects on the weekend with gratitude and zero regrets. This episode is a raw, inspiring reminder of the resilience found within every Age Group Athlete.
