A Note from Mariah
Aloha teammates!
As many of you know, I’ve been serving as EN’s Marketing Director for around six years now. In that time I’ve had the privilege to not only share with the world the wonders of what makes EN the best endurance community on the planet, but be a small part of your adventure story.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to take a step back from my role as Director of Marketing here within our community and focus more on being an Endurance Nation teammate.
I’m looking forward to continuing my small piece of your adventure story, but as a teammate. I cannot wait for more zwifting, racing, participating, forum messages, GroupMe’s and online cheering (but no toenail pics!)
This team continues to be a constant source of motivation and never ending inspiration. The way we support each other, make each other laugh, and guide one another is tremendous. We love fiercely.
Family isn’t always blood- they are the people who accept you, love you, never give up on you, constantly support you and allow you to do the same for them.
I don’t know that I can ever fully express what Endurance Nation means to me, but for now... Mahalo for all that you have been, all that you are and all that you will be — the honor to serve EN has truly been mine.
To quote our fearless leader, “See you online or at the races!”

Thanks so much for everything @Mariah Bridges ! I will probably never forget you being there to help me navigate falling through my motel floor and going to the ER on race morning at 2018 Steelhead 70.3. You also really helped me enjoy being a part of that EN key race even though I couldn't race as planned. Thank you! I'm so happy to hear you will still be our teammate!
