After crossing that finish line in 2023, I thought nothing could match the feeling of hearing “Nick Battaglia, you are an IRONMAN.” for the first time. I was wrong. Round two hit just as hard — this time, two of my best friends earned the title as well. @roman_rizzo @robertf0x Over a year of grinding. Early mornings. Late nights. Sacrifices most people wouldn’t understand, but like always, it was worth every single second. Thank you to my amazing fiancé, family, and friends that drove 6 hours to support. Can’t tell you enough how much it means to hear your voices in the crowd. None of this would be possible without you! @courtshea @j_battaglia @donnabattaglia215 @jackie.lenzi.rizzo @rizkids And thank you @kpitraining for keeping us sharp, feeling prepared is an understatement👊🏽 #Ironman
