  • Excellent podcast

    I’m so glad I’ve found this podcast. I’m brand new to triathlon and I’ve signed up to a full Ironman in Youghal 2020. I now know that it’s a huge undertaking and I need all the help I can get to be ready to finish but the knowledge I’ve picked up from your guests is reassuring to me and I feel I’ll definitely finish well inside the cut off time.
