240 - Danny Buckley, You Are An Ironman!

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Danny Buckley returns to share his unforgettable experience racing Ironman Wales—his first-ever Ironman-branded event! Based in the UK, Danny first joined the show in Episode 170 (August 2024), and this time he’s back with stories of perseverance, jellyfish stings, and post-crash redemption. After wrecking his bike earlier in the year, Danny raced on his new Canyon Speedmax, completing the challenging course in under 12 hours despite a mid-marathon calf cramp. From a rainy pre-race day to clear skies on race morning, Danny describes the demanding 2-loop swim (including a sting from a Portuguese Man-o-war!) and the 1K run to T1 that had Mike pitching his famous Crocs-as-transition-shoes idea. Tune in for inspiration, laughs, and a real Age Group success story.Click here to be a podcast supporter. #EverydayIronman #IronmanWales #AgeGroupTriathlete #CanyonSpeedmax #TriathlonPodcast #SwimBikeRunSupport the show
