43 - IRONMAN© St. George 70.3 - Sidney Smith

I conclude the St. George 70.3 series with my friend and talented athlete Sidney Smith. Sidney shares his struggles as an amputee, but doesn’t ever use it as an excuse. He does the work and isn’t scared to put in the time and effort required to do well on race day. Sidney is a father of four, loves to hunt, and has a loving wife (Lori). He talks about managing time and understands the many sacrifices that go into this sport. While some things aren’t the same for him on race day, the distance and race is. There are a lot of things to be learned from this episode and I really enjoyed hearing Sidney’s story. He gave me a ton of motivation just by some of the things he says he has to endure. -Quote of the episode: “#AmputeeProblems”-Enjoy the show.
