Finding Your Finish Line
Lessons on discovering hope, heart, and yourself in life’s toughest miles
Mike Reilly with Sarah Wassner Flynn
The finish line isn’t just a place. It’s a mindset.
For more than four decades, Mike Reilly has witnessed hundreds of thousands of life-changing moments as the legendary Voice of IRONMAN. His iconic declaration, “You are an IRONMAN!”, has welcomed athletes from around the world across one of the most challenging finish lines in sports. But through those unforgettable moments, Mike discovered a deeper truth: the most important finish lines aren’t always marked by banners, medals, or cheering crowds.
In Finding Your Finish Line, Mike shares the lessons he’s learned from decades at the heart of endurance sports, weaving together inspiring stories, personal experiences, and practical wisdom about perseverance, purpose, resilience, and hope. Each chapter explores the challenges we all face, reminding readers that life’s greatest victories are often earned through quiet determination, courageous choices, and the willingness to keep moving forward when the path feels uncertain.
Paperback and Kindle now. Audiobook narrated by Mike, coming soon.

Truly inspirational and wonderfully shared stories

The book we’ve been waiting for
“I loved this book and couldn’t put it down. It is written in a style that makes you feel like you’re having a conversation with Mr. Reilly. The only caution I will give you is that you will finish it feeling so inspired that you might find yourself signing up for an IRONMAN.”

Inspirational
“Mike writes like he talks, down to earth and easy to listen to. He shares stories of triumph over adversity, but also heartbreak. You may not ever want to become an IRONMAN, but you should read this book about how anyone could become one. And maybe not in triathlon, but an IRONMAN in life.”
