225 - John Stevens

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Age Group Athlete John Stevens joins the conversation to recap his recent race at Ironman 70.3 Rockford. Before diving into his race day experience, John, Mike and Ashley discuss the newly announced changes to Ironman’s World Championship qualifying process and what it could mean for the everyday triathlete. With the race taking place close to home, John enjoyed the rare luxury of sleeping in his own bed the night before. He also reveals both his secret and realistic time goals, and we learn that Mike’s predictions in the Everyday Ironman Discord chat weren’t too far off. While the day didn’t unfold exactly as John had hoped, he shares what he learned from the experience and why he’d still recommend this event to a friend or family member looking to tackle a 70.3. It’s an honest, relatable conversation that every Age Grouper will appreciate.Click here to be a podcast supporter.Support the show
