🇪🇸 IRONMAN BARCELONA - THIS IS TRI RIVINGTON 🇪🇸
We all arrived in Barcelona with dreams of completing an Ironman.
Months of training. Early mornings. Late nights. Sessions squeezed around work, family and everything else life throws at us. For some, it was going to be their first ever full Ironman. For others, another chapter in their journey.
Then, because of the weather, the race was cancelled. 💔 But standing here together today, watching everyone rally around each other, I’m reminded of what Tri Rivington is really about.
We all have our own journeys.
What you don’t always see is the training behind the scenes. The early alarms. The missed social occasions. The long hours at work before getting a session in. The family commitments. The injuries. The setbacks. The days when motivation isn’t there but you still get out the door.
Everyone has a story. And because it’s personal, we don’t always share it.
But we see you. We see the work you put in. And today, perhaps more than ever, we have seen what it means to be part of a team.
There have been hugs, conversations, laughs, tears, encouragement and an awful lot of support. ❤️
Some will come back and have another go at their first full. Some will choose a different race. Some will take a little time to process it.
Whatever you decide, you won’t be alone. That’s Tri Rivi, we’re not just a club where you turn up, train and go home.
We’re a community & we’re teammates. We’re there for the highs, but perhaps more importantly, we’re there for the lows.
To everyone who made the journey to Barcelona be proud of yourselves. The Ironman may not have happened today, but the commitment, sacrifice and determination that got you here absolutely counts.
And to those back home supporting from afar, you’re part of this too. 💙
This is what a club should be.
This is Tri Rivington.
And honestly…
Why would you want to be part of anything else? ❤️💙
