In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we sit down with Dana Crews to unpack her powerful journey back to Ironman California. Dana’s path to endurance sport is anything but ordinary—she grew up competing in basketball, cross-country, and track before majoring in Theatre in college. After losing her father, she returned to running as a way to raise money for cancer-related charities, only to face her own Thyroid Cancer diagnosis in 2014.

With a background in CrossFit, Spartan Racing, and even coaching, Dana brings a unique blend of grit and creativity to triathlon. She completed her first Ironman at IMCA in 2023 and returned this year aboard her custom tie-dye Trek Speed Concept Project One. Dana shares what she loves most about the IMCA course, what she’d improve, and why her Great Danes keep her grounded.
