Performance Warriors

2025 Performance Warriors
On March 15, our community came together for a morning of movement, learning, and impact in support of the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's. We are incredibly grateful to the coaches who donated their time, the ambassadors who shared their stories, Minnetonka Aquatics for donating the facility space, and every individual who contributed time, energy, and resources to make the event a success. Your support made a real difference in the lives of those living with Parkinson’s.
Event highlights:
  • $4,000+ raised to support the Davis Phinney Foundation
  • 33 individuals donated to support the cause
  • 25 individuals participated in either the swim workout, land workout—or both!
  • Two incredible coaches donated their time and expertise to lead the workouts
  • A strong show of community support for individuals and families impacted by Parkinson’s

Wisconsin Mini-Camp

Due to cool temps, rain, and wind in the forecast, the 2025 mini camp was kept local in Minnesota. While the event was smaller, the change of plans created a more intimate and focused setting. First-time IRONMAN and 70.3 athletes had the opportunity to ask questions, and less experienced athletes were able to easily connect with those who have been through it before. A valuable and encouraging opportunity for all!​

IRON(WO)MAN Q&A 

We had an inspirational evening at the March 27 IRON(WO)MAN Q&A!

With a mix of in-person and online attendees, the conversation was full of honest questions, thoughtful insights, and motivating stories. Whether you are dreaming about your first IRONMAN or navigating the path to your next, this event reminded us that with the right community and support, anything is possible.

​Thank you to Doobie from Hopkins Royal Tri for sharing his race wisdom, and to our fantastic panelists for offering their time, experience, and encouragement.
