ATHLETE SHOUTOUT:
Matt Russell is an Ironman! He completed the Ironman Chattanooga 144.6 yesterday and smashed his goal with an impressive time of 11:52:10.
Matt came to me a couple months ago and mentioned he was thinking about doing his first triathlon at Ironman Chattanooga. For most people, this would be an absolutely crazy idea, but for Matt, this was right on brand.
We were so impressed with what Matt was able to accomplish yesterday. He dug deep when the race got tough and we can’t wait to cheer him on as he tackles his next wild dream. Way to go Matt!
