Headwind

From injury and doubt to finish lines and triumph, Headwind is a raw and uplifting story of grit, endurance, and transformation. In this powerful memoir, Daniel Ritchie takes readers inside the mental and physical battles of training for his first Ironman Triathlon-from the early days of uncertainty and pain to the defining moment of crossing the finish line. Along the way, he unpacks the emotional toll of setbacks, the discipline of daily training, and the resilience required to keep going. Whether you're a triathlete, endurance athlete, or simply someone chasing a big goal, Headwind is a bold reminder that every step into the wind is a step toward something greater. This book speaks to anyone who has ever faced obstacles and dared to keep moving forward. With vivid storytelling and deeply personal reflection, Ritchie invites readers to feel the highs, lows, and hard-earned victories that come with chasing an audacious goal. Headwind is more than a sports story-it's a journey of growth, self-belief, and what it truly means to finish what you start.
