As I turned- I saw the bright lights of the Ironman finish line and I knew I was close-
I saw the whole team waiting there for me- who had all finished hours before
I was fighting back tears as I came down the chute and finished with 2 mins to spare

I will never forget what the team did for me at the end of the race Saturday night
I had ~2 miles left with around 30 mins to finish before the cutoff
Was broken physically- but I refused to quit mentally
What happened next was a moment I’ll cherish forever ⬇️

First- I see
@louieruvolo
- he had finished hours before- but he decided he was going to help pace me
All he said was “Adam- were gonna get you across that finish line. I don’t care what we have to do”
He paced me for the next 20+ mins- between fast walking and jogging

Next- I hear
@zachhomol_
- who had also finished and I knew was beat up
He was screaming to me “TIME TO WORK LETS GO”- hyping me up to PUSH right when I needed it
He even ran with me for the last half mile before the turn towards the finish line
