## Summary



## Transcript

What's your name, age, and where are you from? >> Wendy Roberts, 55, Long Beach, California. >> What do you do for work? >> I'm in destination marketing and I'm the president CEO of Travel Santa Ana. >> What was your time today on this Iron Man? >> My time was not very good. It was over 7 hours. I was undertrained. I had a decent swim, a decent bike. I had some issues on the run and I ended up walking the entire thing. >> What would you do differently for this race? >> I would probably train a little bit more. >> How long did you train? >> Not very much. This is my 11th half iron man. >> Oh. And have you ever done a full Iron Man? >> I've done three full. >> Oh my gosh. What was your time on those ones? >> Around 12:30. >> How did you balance work and training at the same time? >> I think training can take away some stress and bring clarity when you're overwhelmed with work. So, making it a priority. >> Do you have any advice for people who want to do their first triathlon or do their first Iron Man? >> It's a tremendous experience and there's nothing like crossing the finish line as part of a club and doing a 70.3 and if you inspire to a 140.6. in sex.
