My name is Kelly, and I'm an Ironman. I never was much of an athlete, but God pulled me out of my comfort zone and put me in the world of endurance racing. In this environment, He could be the strength in my weakness. As I trained, I became stronger physically and spiritually. In fact, I came to salvation through an Ironman triathlon. God showed me His goodness through sweat and pain. Ten Iron Principles is a memoir that reveals this journey: from playing football on a boys junior varsity team to training for an Ironman triathlon in adulthood. From living apart from God to praying through a 2.4 mile swim. It’s the story of how God prepared me for my Kingdom purpose. Never quit. Defy limits. CourageUP!
