Klodian Mitri: Professional Half Ironman

Klodian Mitri is a professional endurance athlete who went from struggling to run a 5k to racing professionally in endurance sports. It's too easy to look at elite athletes like Klodian and think "he's just built different, I could never do that," but the truth is, at one point, Klodian was "normal" and it was the consistent hard work he put in over the years that has driven him to where he is today. All it takes is one step in the right direction and I hope hearing Klodian's story and insights into racing helps just one person to take that step.
