Steve DelMonte is a full-time Race Director. He has incredible passion for the sport, but he's more concerned about athletes enjoying their lives. We get into a lot of things with Steve, including: planning a race, cancelling a race like Alcatraz, changing the swim at Wisconsin, dealing with upset athletes, and getting the most out of your race.
