About this listen

Kona Five is Keith Rieger's amazing (but true) biography and recollection of the immense life challenges he faced (two tragic deaths, two prison terms, two divorces, and more)...and his determination to make the most of his talents and opportunities to achieve some remarkable life goals...including being the first and only person to complete five Iron Distance Triathlons in dive days on the Kona Ironman World Championship Course all self-supported...and to ultimately encourage and inspire others to take on their own life challenges and goals.

Critic Reviews

“Christopher Reeve once said, “a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Well I have found a new hero. Keith outlines his life's journey so explicitly and straightforward that you simply ask the question: Wow, what happens next? Keith openly relays his past by saying: Here it is, full discloser. This is my pilgrimage through rebellion, uncertainty, doubt, compunction. Always moving forward and coming out on the other end still on a quest and an endless journey simply called life.” (Frank Sole, Coach/Owner of Sole Swim Solutions and S3 Training Systems)

“In Kona Five, Keith Rieger branches out to tell a more personal story behind his optimism and his drive to achieve. His open honesty about the challenging events in his growing years gives the reader empathy and insight to his goals. His story is relatable because he's human like us, and powerfully inspiring to those of us with big dreams.” (Lucy Smith, Canadian Champion runner, 2012 XTERRA Trail Run World Champion, LifeSport Coach, and author)

"Keith has hit this one out of the park! Knowing him personally, and seeing his positive energy first hand, one would never know he has persevered so much to accomplish all he has done! This book will inspire you to live beyond the norm and beyond your circumstances." (Dan Cadriel, 30+ year Triathlete, Kona Ironman)
