Imagine swimming 2.4 miles, riding a bike 112 miles, running 26.2 miles, and then finishing the race and making history. That’s Chris Nikic, he became the first person with Down syndrome to ever complete an Ironman back in November of 2020. Today we are thrilled to chat with Chris and his coach, Dan Grieb, all about their journey to the Ironman. We’re covering everything from how they met, how they trained, and how Dan’s life has changed since meeting Chris. And they’re detailing exactly what happened behind the scenes during the Ironman, let’s just say that not even fire ants or a bike crash could stop Chris! In his words, he “tore doors open and kicked down barriers” and we are so grateful for him. -- Keep up with Chris and Dan!
