In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, previous guest Chris Curtis returns to share his journey to becoming a first-time Ironman at Ironman Florida. Chris first joined us back in Episode 204 (May 2025), and this time he brings a full recap of what it took to get to Panama City Beach and how race week unfolded. From his experience volunteering at Athlete Check-In to balancing nerves and excitement, Chris offers a unique look behind the curtain of IMFL. His wife, Julie, joins the conversation briefly to share her own perspective on supporting an athlete through the big weekend. Chris also drops a race-day tip we’ve never heard before. And while he insists he won’t be getting the M-Dot tattoo, he is proudly adding “Ironman Finisher” to his email signature.
