On Episode 201 of the Gravity Podcast, Chris speaks with Golden Police Department (CO) Chief of Police Joe Harvey.

On September 21st, 2025, I crossed the finish line at IRONMAN 70.3 Washington—but the real victory wasn’t just the medal. It was the lesson: Run Your Race.In this milestone 200th episode of the Gravity Podcast, I share the insights endurance racing has taught me about life, leadership, and resilience. It’s easy to get distracted by what others are doing—their pace, their performance, their plan. But just like on the course, comparison in life is a thief. Your success is built on knowing your why, charting your path, and adapting with wisdom when challenges arise.Know Your Why – Motivation has to come from something deeper than just finishing. It’s what keeps you steady when the miles feel endless.Know Where You’re Going – Clarity of direction creates confidence. Without a destination, effort drifts.Develop Your Plan Based on Experience – Learn from what’s worked (and what hasn’t) to create a strategy that’s yours, not borrowed.Plan for Problems, Allow for Deviation – Obstacles are guaranteed. The difference is whether you crumble—or flex and keep moving.Ignore the Noise – Just like I had to block out other runners on the course, your best race in life is run when you focus on your lane, your pace, your purpose.This episode isn’t just about triathlon—it’s about staying grounded, refusing distraction, and running the race you were built for.Paid PromotionsDeliverFund – Protecting the Vulnerable, Equipping the ProtectorsCLICK HERE TO LEARN MOREThis episode of the Gravity Podcast is brought to you by DeliverFund — a non-profit organization working every day to eradicate human trafficking in the United States.DeliverFund equips law enforcement officers and prosecutors with state-of-the-art intelligence, tools, and training — all free of charge — to help dismantle trafficking networks and rescue victims.

This week, Chris shares the lessons he learned from his most recent half marathon race. His performance was far off what he expected. As he assessed the root causes, he realized his conclusions - weather, recent injury, dehydration, etc. - were contributing factors, but not the main cause. These factors were excuses that were clouding his assessment of the real problem.The real problem? He was cutting corners, skipping training sessions, and making excuses. He was half in, expecting full results. That's not how this works.Chris decided to stop making excuses and start prioritizing his time to invest in his faith, family, and fitness.
