For the second year in a row, I have earned Ironman’s All World Athlete Silver status.

What does that mean?

To me, it means all of my training and sacrifices throughout the year paid off. I focused, worked hard and I achieved the results I wanted. My race performances placed me in the top 5% of all athletes who participated in Ironman events in 2018.

Pretty cool!

Here is more information on the Ironman.com.

The IRONMAN All World Athlete program is a way that Ironman rewards its age-group athletes for their hard work, dedication, and performance across IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 racing.

The program uses IRONMAN’s Age Group Rankings system to determine which athletes have finished within the top 10 percent or better of their age group each calendar year. Within this system, athletes generate points based on their finish time behind the first official finisher in their age group.
There are three levels associated with the All World Athlete program:
GOLD (top one percent) / SILVER (top five percent) / BRONZE (top ten percent)
