Anyone intrigued by the Ironman Triathlon or other big goals will enjoy this conversation with Mike Reilly, the legendary Ironman finish-line announcer. Along with Sarah Wassner Flynn, his co-author of the new book, Finding Your Finish Line: Lessons on Discovering Hope, Heart, and Yourself in Life’s Toughest Miles, Mike talks with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat (herself a multi-time Ironman finisher). The quartet covers:

-how Mike came up with his signature finish-line phrase

-the co-authors' standout stories from the book

-their writing process

-the value of naming and facing your fears

-the importance of taking small steps with intention + purpose

Before the authors join the conversation around 05:40, Coach Liz shares what makes racing at Kona so special.
