In this episode on Forged in the Fires Podcast, we welcome Chris Schmidt, a true testament to resilience, determination, and never giving up. At 53, Chris completed his journey to the 2024 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii—powered by a Smith + Nephew hip replacement and the culmination of a 15-Ironman journey that earned him Legacy athlete status.
Chris’s story is one of transformation.

Chris opens up about the challenges he faced in reaching Kona—from surgery and recovery to personal loss, including the passing of his mother. Through it all, he remained steadfast, completing 15 Ironmans to reach the world championship. Join us as Chris reflects on his legacy journey and shares powerful insights on finding the finish line, no matter the obstacles.
