What Does Kona Mean to You?

Kona is a word that nearly every triathlete can relate to. For many, its the big dance, the World Championship of Ironman distance races. It is the ultimate goal for many dedicated triathletes. We’ve all seen and heard the inspiring stories that come from the bold yet fascinating athletes who make it there. There’s the hard-core triathletes, the first timers, the moms, the dads, the grandparents who dedicate much of their lives to their passion.

We as triathlete’s all search for the ultimate, personal goal. Whether that be getting in better shape, crossing your first finish line, winning your age group, or for others, qualifying for the big race in Kona. But that leads us to wonder, what does Kona mean for each and every one of us who train day-in and day-out, hour after hour with the utmost intensity? Why do we push our minds and bodies to such extremes? Why do we keep doing it to ourselves day after day?
