On June 1, 2025, Race 4 of the Road to Six brought me to the vibrant streets of Florianópolis, Brazil—a race I arrived at with more fear than fitness. After nearly six weeks of stillness, my training had all but disappeared. My body needed rest, but my mind wrestled with doubt. I stood on the start line unsure if I had enough—physically or mentally—to make it through.
Finishing in 11:28:28, I faced chaos in the Atlantic, a near-breakdown on the bike, and a brutal run that tested everything I had left. But this race wasn’t just about suffering—it was about surrender. About trusting the body that had once been sick, and the spirit that refused to give up. In that surrender, I found something steadier than strength: I found the will to keep going anyway.
Brazil reminded me that fear isn’t a stop sign—it’s a mirror. The edge is where life begins.
Four down, two continents to go. The journey continues.
