235 - Ironman Leeds Race Recap with Darryl Dalton

Darryl Dalton returns to The Everyday Ironman Podcast to catch us up on life, training, and his recent race at Ironman Leeds. Since his last appearance, Darryl still proudly balances being a husband and father of four while chasing his triathlon goals. He shares how a professional bike fit and swim analysis humbled his technique, plus the lessons learned from racing two 70.3 events within five weeks—just months after having knee surgery! We dive into his nutrition strategy (including the right way to use a GU Flask), break down each discipline of the race, and laugh about the challenges of racing on UK roads where passing rules feel flipped. Along the way, Mike updates us on his Canyon rebuild, Ashley explains swimming effort variation, and we all compare SWOLF scores. Darryl’s hard work paid off—earning him a roll-down slot to the 2025 Ironman World Championships in Nice!Click here to be a podcast supporter.#Ironman #TriathlonTraining #AgeGroupTriathlete #IronmanLeeds #EverydayIronman #SwimBikeRun #IronmanWorldChampionships #Nice2025Support the show
