Scottish Professional Triathlete David McNamee has been living and training in Girona for a decade. We hear his account of how over that time Girona has transformed into a hub for cyclists and triathletes.
David talks about his decision to sign up for IRONMAN Italy in a bid to qualify for Kona next year and how a previous injury to his hand means avoiding technical bike courses that might require a lot of braking.
We discuss his views on the complexity of the PTO series and the challenges of getting top athletes to commit to all six races in the series. Plus, he candidly talks about the communication gaps between the PTO, IRONMAN and Challenge, the implications of the late timing of the 70.3 World Championships for both professional and age group athletes and the potential benefits of collaboration between the three main race organisers.
