The Midnight Club is a podcast designed for those of us who spend several hours per week training for events, many times sacrificing time from friends, family and work, and are happy to just be out there, giving it their all, despite not reaching a podium finish, or sometimes not finishing at all. The origin of the name comes from the original structure of an Ironman race. Participants would start at 7 am and have 17 hours to complete the course by midnight. While I find inspiration by well accomplished endurance athletes, and try to follow their example, I also find motivation by the average athlete that has put in so much work just to participate in an event. I still would love to interview people who have and are accomplishing great things. However, I also want to talk to regular folks many of us have not heard of, and get their stories, too.

Clint and Kelly talk about their most recent event: the Ironman 70.3 Victoria. Just a bit different than IM 70.3 Panama City Beach as the water was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the bike course had about 3,300 feet of vertical gain. However, the experience was thrilling and rewarding nonetheless and Canada is always enjoyable.

From a very large surf on the swim to big climbs to sprinting to the finish line to make the final time cut-off, this race had it all.
