In this episode, we sit down with Eli to unpack his journey through a Half Ironman—an experience filled with challenges, breakthroughs, and deep personal reflection.

Eli walks us through each leg of the race: the swim, the bike, and the run. He shares the moments where things got tough—both physically and mentally—and how he managed to keep moving forward when his body and mind were pushed to the edge. From battling fatigue to staying focused through pain, Eli gives an honest account of what it truly means to endure.

But this conversation goes far beyond racing. Eli opens up about how endurance, in all its forms, has become a powerful theme in his life—not just in athletics, but in hunting, in personal growth, and in his faith. He reflects on how pushing through suffering and learning to embrace discomfort has drawn him closer to God. The solitude, the struggle, and the stillness found in those hard moments have become a space for spiritual clarity and connection.

Whether you’re interested in endurance sports, the mindset of a hunter, or the spiritual depth that can be found in perseverance, this episode offers a heartfelt and inspiring perspective.
