Asking Ironman Athletes What They Do For a Living 🚴‍♂️

What's your name, age, and where are you from? >> My name is Jose, 21. I'm originally from La Pia Chakan, Mexico. And now I live in San Jose, California. >> Is this your first ever Iron Man? >> Iron Man 17.3. But yeah. Yeah, it's my first one. Yeah. >> What made you sign up for this? >> Four or five months ago, I was always telling people how good I used to be at running. And then how

I'm washed. I'm out of my prime. I'm like, bro, I'm 21. What do you mean out of my prime? And then I signed up for the San Francisco Marathon. And then as I was training, my friend signed up for an Iron Man. I was like, you know what? I'll do an Iron Man 70.3 first. That led me to here, actually. What was your time overall? >> Overall, probably like 7 hours, 10 minutes. >> What was the

hardest part for you? The swim, the bike, or the run? >> The swim I was disciplined, taking focus on technique. The bike, I was focusing on my nutrition and hydration. The run, all out the window. My first a station, I got like three little cups of water, three little cups of electrolytes, and like three cups of coke, and then some fruits. I was like, from there, my stomach goes, I don't mind, I finished. >> Do you

have any piece of advice for anybody looking to sign up for their first Iron Man, their first triathlon? >> Just have fun with it. I mean, it was really fun. The course was beautiful. Obviously, don't skip out on any training cuz it would notice it like on my bike. I could have done a little bit better, but it is what it is. Don't worry about your result as long as you finish in my opinion. >> Are

you going to sign up for another Iron Man? Yes, I'm trying to do a full 1x
