Listen Later

On October 5th, BJ faced a challenging bike crash, leaving him on crutches with painful and significant injuries. The odds of even making it to the Ironman World Championship start line seemed impossible—but BJ didn’t let the “evidence of now” define his future.

Instead, years of mental training and an unshakable belief in possibility fueled his comeback.

Fast forward to October 26th: BJ defied all expectations. From swimming just a minute shy of his best World Championship time to conquering the grueling marathon mile by mile, he crossed the finish line under the Kona night sky—a living testament to resilience and the strength of the human spirit.

Today, BJ shares how he rose above one of life’s biggest setbacks and how this journey is transforming his leadership, athleticism, and vision for YogiTriathlete.
