"#011 - The Rookies: What it takes to complete an IRONMAN..."
***
On today’s show I sit down with two of my mates Ned and Maxime, aka The Rookies. Along with a squad of 7 others, the two decided to take on the gruelling task of attempting to complete an Ironman. All while juggling full time work at the same time. This was the ethos of The Rookies, can an eclectic mix of a lawyer, panel beater, teacher and other quote unquote “average punters” complete one of the worlds hardest physical feats. I’ve done a small amount of training with these guys and I will say they are not your average punter in the slightest! Just so you know how ridiculous this event is, an IronMan includes a 3.9km swim, 180km bike ride and a 42.2km run. This is an awesome episode to provide a perspective on what the training was like for such an event, as well as the actual event itself. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do it!
