Huge congratulations to Team VPA Athlete Dan

Huge congratulations to Team VPA Athlete Dan @eisman25 for crossing the red carpet at IM Canada this past weekend. Way to overcome the obstacles. You are an Ironman!!!💚🌱💚
"The only proper celly in Canada is a snap shot into the finish right? 🏒🇨🇦
Things started out rough before even starting. Due to 20+ degree drop in water temp and cold air temp, swim was canceled for safety. Bike had some amazing views throughout the whole course attempting to distract us from the pain of the seemingly never ending hills. Survived the bike and the marathon run got the best of me. Stomach issues kept me from following my nutrition plan on the run. The support from my Sherpa and IM Support crew got me to power through. Getting to the finish and running the IM carpet felt like 1 second and a week with all the energy from the crowd of supporters. Once home, I decided to complete the swim portion of the IM on my own to bring my Ironman experience to a close. By far one of the hardest things I’ve ever done and I’m so proud of myself despite the many, and there were many, issues that came up.
Huge thank you to my Sherpa and IM Support crew on site, to my vegan endurance team @team.vpa, and to all my family and friends who cheered me on from all around the US. You all helped me achieve a huge goal of mine and I feel so lucky to have such a great group of people behind me." -Dan
