The Triathlon Hour

Marten Van Riel joins us today to talk about the craziness of his debut Ironman in Cozumel where he was leading at 165km after having been solo all day before crashing his bike and colliding with a young girl on the side of the bike course. He went on to have the fastest marathon of the day running 2:39 but because of the time spent on the side of the rode he didn’t win or get his Ironman World Championship qualifying slot. We hear all the details from Marten in his first podcast since it happened. We also do a season debrief where we talk about his incredible season on the T100 World Tour becoming the first ever world champion and showing everyone that he is a force over middle distance.
