Fantastic!!! I am doing my first 70.3 in Melbourne Australia in 3 weeks time & this video has given me so much inspiration and also reminded me to lose the fear of not making the cut off. Life isn't about things being perfect:)
Such an encouraging video. I'm training for my first marathon and sometimes I worry about my weight and how it will impact my results. But your video reminded me that I should focus on doing things that I want to do, things that bring me joy.
Congratulations! This is so awesome. And so inspiring. As a plus-sized woman who also has a bit of an idea that I'd like to do a 70.3 someday, I've always really just thought, "Oh no. That's for thin people. You'll have to lose weight in order to do it." Thank you for showing that that isn't true. It's for everyone, as long as you put in the training. (Now I guess I'll have to put in some training.... lol)
You are a legend 💪 Tough conditions out there but you smashed. You completed the 70.3 so that's all that matters. You beat that course. Absolutely inspiration. Loved following your stories on Instagram 👌
Huge congrats!! I really appreciate you walking through the entire race. 🎉🎉so nice to be near your hometown, and amazing to have such a good friend join you and support you! 😊
@@EveryBodyTri ❤️🤩 your message at the end brought me to tears. You are strong enough, and everybody is a triathlon body! there are so many people who need your gentle push to take on what they think may be impossible. ❤️❤️ I need this reminder when I get down on myself for my size and being in the Athena category. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you!
@everybodytri thank you for making this video and for your recap of what was a very challenging day for athletes as well as us cheering on the sidelines. Once I saw you there I had to make sure to cheer each time I saw you. I am so happy my comments at the end were heartfelt as I truly meant them. You inspired me as you have done with so many more on this channel. Keep up the good work and thanks for the touching comment at the end as it touched my heart and made me tear up. So happy to see you do this 70.3. Congratulations once again, you are awesome!
@@ssp236 ahh I’m so glad you commented!! Your kind words made me tear up! It means so much thank you thank you and I hope to see you at another race!!!
Yeah! You absolute queen 👏🏻💪🏼🤩 huge congratulations on becoming a 70.3 Ironman 🎉 this is so inspiring - I had doing a 70.3 on my bucket list but had pretty much given up on it. Watching you cross that line gave me goosebumps!x
Kate, thanks for this honest and accurate account. I was there too that wet day! I was joining my 25yo son for his first. Loved your pre-race moment interview in car in parking lot. Every athlete that day at JB could relate; watching the rain hit the windshield in the pitch black sky thinking WTH have I done??? Why am I here?? And then still executing on the plan. Your “take” on your day is universal. I could relate to every part of your retelling. And I too am taking some time off. I know I will definitely do another one at some point but for now I have a long list of maintenance things that need to be addressed around my house! So I think I will just be like a normal person and mow my lawn and rake some leaves for a while! Ted #1517
@@tedkenneally7270 what a wild day! That’s so incredibly cool that you did it with your son! A great memory and experience for you both. And yes I too have house maintenance stuff to do… for example my husband and I have been trying to install pavers for a patio in our backyard for practically the whole summer 😂 between the heat here and my business with training it’s been tough but we are finishing up today! Hope to see you at another 70.3 someday!
