In this inspiring episode of "Find Your Finish Line," I sit down with Matt Long, a man whose story of resilience and determination is nothing short of extraordinary. Matt shares his journey from being a competitive IRONMAN athlete to surviving a catastrophic accident with a New York City transit bus in 2005. Despite being given a slim chance of survival, Matt's indomitable spirit saw him not only recover but also return to the IRONMAN Lake Placid finish line in 2009. His story is a testament to the power of setting big goals, embracing adversity, and the unwavering support of family and community. Matt opens up about the mental and physical challenges he faced during his recovery, including moments of deep despair and thoughts of giving up. He credits his comeback to the support from his family, the FDNY brotherhood, and the triathlon community. Matt's journey didn't end at the IRONMAN finish line; he went on to become a motivational speaker, author of the bestseller "The Long Run," and a world record holder in indoor rowing. His message is clear: adversity is a part of life, but it's how we embrace and challenge it that defines our path forward.
