We have an incredibly special guest lined up for our April meeting!

Recognized the world over as the “Voice of IRONMAN,” Mike Reilly has called over 180 IRONMAN events, including 30 straight years of the World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i. More than 350,000 athletes have heard his iconic pronouncement, “You are an IRONMAN!” as they crossed the finish line.
Every one of those athletes has a story, and Mike has heard hundreds of them. Ever passionate about the sport and its participants, he listened closely as they poured out remarkable tales that illuminate the human capacity for triumphing over seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Mike is coming to SB Tri to talk about some of those stories, from his new book, MIKE REILLY: Finding My Voice. He’ll have copies available for SB Tri members to buy and which he’ll be happy to sign. If you already have a copy, he’ll sign that!
Save the Date - you will NOT want to miss this! Dinner included!
