What happens when your race doesn’t go as planned—like a cancelled swim at Ironman 70.3 Western Massachusetts? In this episode, BJ takes us inside race day and the mental pivot from doubt to possibility. He shares how a "death hike" (no one died!) helped prep him for the unexpected, how his pre-meditation mindset might have derailed him in the past, and the one mantra that carried him through. We break down the gritty details of the run, those finish line feels, and the electric energy of community that reminded him why we show up, again and again. Plus, hear how Blanks Nutrition continues to fuel his podium performances and why Ironman Arizona is calling for those ready to join Team YogiTriathlete. This one’s all about presence, perseverance, and leaning into what’s possible—no matter what the day throws your way.
