The Triathlon Hour

Luke McKenzie is an Australian professional triathlete. In this episode we talk about Luke's 2nd place finish at the Ironman World Champs, his best and worst races and the training leading into them. Luke was one of my favourite athletes growing up and so on a personal note this chat meant a lot to me. Also it was a nice follow up to expand on some stories we heard in last weeks episode with his wife Beth McKenzie that add another layer to their story.

Beth gave us so much insight into her training leading into her multiple Ironman wins as well as the origins and evolution of her businesses Wyn Republic & Marlo Republic. We then go deep on the tough times of testing positive for a performance enhancing drug knowing it was something Beth didn't purposely take and the impact of that on her career. It was a chat that had me walking away thinking "wow Beth has been through a lot..good and bad!!!"
