Since I was a kid, Iāve loved this race⦠probably in the same way Taylor does. Kona has always meant something to me. Itās the race that made me fall in love with this sport, and itās the race that made me want to pick up a camera in the first place.
Every time I make a video, my hope is simple: I want someone to smile, or laugh, or cry, or feel something. I want people to see the heart inside this sport. And this episode⦠this one pulled all of that out of me.
I was standing in the bleachers that day, waiting to film Taylorās finish, and in one instant everything changed. Your stomach drops, your brain shifts, and suddenly youāre trying to figure out how to honor an athlete in a moment that didnāt go the way anyone dreamed it would. You feel their heartbreak, and you carry some of it with you as a storyteller.
Iāve sat with this episode for a long time. I wrote this massive brief to Sam, our editor, trying to put into words what I hoped the story would feel like. And when the first cut finally came through this week⦠at the closing segment tears started rolling. It reminded me exactly why I love this sport, and why I love doing what I do.
I get to tell the stories of this crazy, beautiful thing we call triathlon. I get to capture IRONMAN in all its glory and all its heartbreak. And I get to share it with you.
