- Back in 2011, I discovered my health was failing me. After spending 20 years in the corporate world leading and building a successful range of different business entities, I began to realize that I was also building life-threatening stresses that were leading down a road of a short life. Not being one to accept failures, I took charge of my health and turned it around. Exercise, nutrition, proper rest, and lowering stress became part of his daily life.
- Within 3 years, I made sweeping changes in my life. I am now healthy and active while experiencing lower stress. The most exciting thing that happened to him on this journey was rediscovering something I’d completely forgotten…I loved being an ATHLETE! What had begun with strength training and weight loss soon morphed into road-biking. I completed the MS150 Arkansas the last time it was held on the steep Petit Jean Mountains. Soon this renewed passion for an active life inspired running half marathons and that quickly led to running full marathons. I was becoming the athlete he loved. Always wanting to push myself outside of my comfort zone I took on a triathlon – and…WOW did I ever!!! I completed my 1st sprint triathlon in June 2011 and knew instantly that I had found my sport. I have now completed longer and ultra-distance triathlons, including full Ironman's.
- I love endurance sports, both training, and racing! So much so I established a Cycling and Multisport retail business to facilitate in helping others find the support I was blessed to receive. I've since sold this business and now I'm back to Endurance Coaching and Professional Bike Fitting only under my new banner, Kevin Whaley Racing. I’m still in a positioned to pay it forward by helping others "Crank Up Life" and to "Create the Capacity to Endure". And I also design and publish websites for Small Businesses and Athletes within my own company as well, Kshark 140.6 Design.
