Grant Grafentin triumphs at 70.3 Washington

Grant Grafentin (Bend, Oregon) wins his first overall 70.3 Ironman!

Congratulations!!!

That feeling of having achieved a goal at last! Something you will never forget. I know that you need to love what you do, whatever that is, in order to succeed. Our passion for things and our motivation to accomplish big , almost elusive goals help us to stay on course, to prevail, to do the work every day that is required even when it is getting tough and painfully.

From my experience without a plan, a vision, a series of set goals and without that passion it just gets so much harder to keep on going full throttle into the right direction.
