Last week was my first full Ironman assignment of the year for Ironman.  I had the opportunity to interview lots of fantastic athletes and witness, for the second time, athletes on one of the toughest, if not the toughest Ironman course in the United States, Ironman St. George.  One of those athletes was age grouper, Brady Murray from Boise, Idaho.  He’s a ‘Kona Inspired’ athlete (read more below).  When you hear his story, I believe you’ll be inspired too.  Here’s Brady’s Kona Inspired LINK.

From Ironman.com

From now through May 31,  you can upload a 90-second video sharing how you represent the Ironman mantra, Anything is Possible, by going to www.konainspired.com or the Kona Inspired App. on Facebook. Once the video is uploaded, the community will watch, share and vote on their favorite inspirational athletes.

On June 1,  the entries will be narrowed down to a group of 45 semi-finalists by Ironman representatives based on online votes, views and their representation of the Ironman mantra. The semi-finalists will then be randomly split into three groups of 15 to be voted on during three, two-week voting cycles. Each voting cycle will result in two winners (six total) based solely on the videos with the top number of online votes by the endurance community. Once those six winners are chosen, Ironman representatives will choose two more “wild-card” stories from the remaining semi-finalists, taking into account online votes, to bring the total to eight Kona Inspired athlete stories. The eight winners will receive slots to the 2012 Ironman World Championship and will be highlighted as media athletes.

The inspirational stories of athletes crossing the finish line in Kona have helped to shape Ironman into the global sensation that it is today. Kona Inspired will be an exciting opportunity that unites the global endurance community in picking an amazing group of athletes to represent them at the Ironman World Championship in 2012. Who will be the next Team Hoyt or Lew Hollander?

Remember to check out my past “On Assignment” video reports on Ironman’s official Youtube Channel including the 2012 Ironman 70.3 Panama, 2012 Ironman 70.3 Texas and now Ironman St. George.
