Ep. 777: How to Finish an Ironman - Maddie Stambaugh

Ironman triathlon: Maddie's journey from marathoner to crossing the finish line as an Ironman – overcoming setbacks, mastering swim-bike-run challenges, battling crazy ocean waves on race day, and the biggest lessons in preparation, perseverance, and finishing without compromise.

This episode is original from Without Compromise.

Finishing an Ironman race is at the very top of many endurance athletes’ bucket lists. It’s a daunting goal to put all the training, logistical, and motivational pieces together to pull off such an extreme athletic achievement.

For Maddie, it was the ultimate athletic goal. Being a marathoner, she had a leg up on folks starting from scratch, but running is still only one-third of the skills you need for a triathlon, so the math was still against her.

Despite many setbacks and many times she could have logically bowed out of training and preparation, Maddie continued through every challenge, even up to race day (the ocean waves were crazy!), yet she successfully crossed that finish line and heard those fateful words, “You are an Ironman!”.

Listen in to hear the biggest lessons that Maddie learned in preparation and on race day, and what it takes to finish an Ironman without compromise.
