I just found this video on the Vemma YouTube channel and it totally motivated me for 2011.

At this years 2010 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii the theme was Anything Is Possible! The message was so perfect as how it relates to life and building your Vemma business. If given the proper time, training, commitment and belief in yourself anything is possible. The question is how bad do you want it and what are you willing to do to make anything possible?

This past week was so inspiring to be surrounded by top athletes from all over the world from all ages and backgrounds that have the attitude that anything is possible.

My road to Kona would not have been possible without all the love and support from my Vemma family, friends,training partners, coaches, family and most importantly Tyler. He has been my strength all the way through! Thank you Tyler for putting up with me during this preparation to Kona!

My path to the road to Kona has been many great life leasons that I enjoyed sharing with all of you on our blog. I have grown as a person as result of  my training for the challenge and now off to many more challenges to come. For me that is what life is about; CHALLENGING YOURSELF EVERYDAY TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON!

Although I did not achieve the goal of top 5 in my age group to finish is to win. You can’t win in life unless you show up at the starting line.

This past weekend was the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race aka “Race Across The Sky” which Tyler dedicated to Rodger Hanft. Rodger is a close family member who has a stage 4 glioma brain tumor which is terminal. Rodger, pictured below, is fighting for his life!

A week prior to the event we had dinner with Rodger and he let us know that Leadville, Colorado is a special place for him and that he wants his ashes spread at Rainbow Lake. Rainbow Lake is in the Leadville, CO area and the bike course for the Leadville 100 goes near the lake.

Tyler dedicated his ride to Rodger and at about mile 80 started to struggle. Tyler dug deep and knew that in order to dedicated the ride to Rodger he had to finish. Rodger was a BIG inspiration to Tyler during the race.

The course was 104 miles with over 10,000 feet of climbing with a max elevation of around 12,500 feet. It took Tyler 10 hrs and 43 minutes to complete. Not bad for very little training for the event. Watch the video above to see how Tyler got into the event last minute.

A BIG thanks to Dave Wiens and Travis Brown and his wife Mary for making Leadville possible for me.

Below are some pictures I took at the event.

Tour de France and cycling super star Levi Leipheimer broke Lance Armstrong’s record of last year and won the event. Below is a picture of Tyler and Levi.

After the awards Tyler and I had the opportunity to visit with Leadville 100 legend Dave Wiens and another star athlete Travis Brown. Dave Wiens beat Lance Armstrong in 2008 during Lance Armstrong’s comeback.

Tyler was pretty spanked after the ride as you can see below.
