Three weeks ago, I became an Ironman. After months of grueling, time-consuming training, late nights, and long days juggling life and workouts, I finally crossed the finish line of my first full distance Ironman. It’s hard to put into words what it meant, an enormous goal achieved, a dream realized.

The swim was the part I dreaded most. In every 70.3, I’d stopped from nerves or losing sight of the buoys. This time, I promised myself I wouldn’t stop. The water was freezing, but I stayed calm. I found a rhythm, ignored the chaos of arms and legs around me, and kept going. When I saw the finish ahead, I felt a surge of pride. I had done it, 2.4 miles without stopping. Swim time: 1:02:55

I hit the bike ready to settle in for 112 miles. The California course is infamous for wind, and it didn’t disappoint. My plan was to ride steady, heart rate low, saving strength for the marathon. The headwind out was brutal, the roads rough, but I stayed focused. When the tailwind hit coming back, it felt like flying. My nutrition went perfectly, gels, electrolytes, water and Uncrustables until fatigue started creeping in on the second loop. By mile 84, knowing I had just 28 miles left with a tailwind lifted my spirits. I rolled back to transition exhausted with hurting feet. Bike time: 5:46:06

Next the marathon. As I pulled on my shoes my emotions hit. The weight of the day, the miles ahead, it all poured out in thirty seconds of tears. I knew the run was going to be a physical battle but knew the mental battle would be greater. My legs were heavy off the bike, but I kept moving. The heat hit 80°, and I cooled myself with handfuls of ice at every aid station down my tri suit. My body hurt so bad, my stomach turned at the thought of another gel, but I just kept going. As the sun set, exhaustion turned the world quiet. The final mile through downtown was dark and lonely, just me and the sound of my footsteps. I thought of my parents and how proud they would’ve been. Turning the last corner, the lights of the finish line came into view. I raised my arms, every emotion flooding through me as I heard, “Mike Fletcher, you are an Ironman!” (Close enough on the name!) Run time: 4:28:07
🚨GIVEAWAY!!!🚨
For the last 8 seasons I’ve had the opportunity to photograph visit with kids who have type 1 diabetes like he does. It’s been so great to see the excitement these kids have to meet their hero and spend time down on the pitch. Jordan is a great role model to these kids and sharing his experiences of living with T1D and how he manages it every single day. To support the work he’s doing I wanted to raise some money for his foundation

As many of you know I’ve been into triathlon for the last several years. Well in one month on October 19th I’ll be racing in my first full distance Ironman race. A full Ironman is 140.6 miles consisting of:
2.4 mile swim 🏊‍♂️
112 mile bike 🚴‍♂️
26.2 mile run 🏃🏼‍♂️
To celebrate this achievement (assuming I finish 🤣) I want to give away an hour photoshoot or hour long mentor session. So for any donations you’ll have an opportunity to get your name in the drawing.
$20 - 1 entry
$100 - 6 entries
$140.60 - 10 entries

A link to his foundation website is in my bio or you can send a Venmo to

So I can keep track of donations please DM or email me a screenshot of your donation and after my race on October 19th I’ll pick a winner!

Thanks for supporting what Jordan is doing and coming alongside me on my race! Go Sounders! 💙💚 #t1diabetes #t1d
Some photographers put the cameras down at halftime and wait for the action to start back up at the whistle before capturing more images. I see halftime as an opportunity for portraits or other fun images when players return to the pitch. Always keep your eyes open and cameras ready!
