In this episode, Colin, Becca, and Elliot Tom Gordon, a 27-year-old age group triathlete from Boulder, Colorado. Tom shares his background as a former college swimmer who transitioned to triathlon a few years after graduating. He discusses his training volume, strengths in swimming and cycling, and the supportive triathlon community in Boulder. We also recap both of their stellar Ironman Lake Placid races. Colin took the overall age group podium while Tom finished just behind crossing the line as the second place amateur. Enjoy! --- Show Notes: Ironman Lake Placid race recap @ 4:30 Tom and Colin recount their experiences at the recent Ironman Lake Placid race. Tom had a strong 48-minute swim and solid bike, but encountered some mechanical issues with his bike. Colin also had a good swim and bike, and the two ended up running the majority of the marathon together, pushing each other to sub-9 hour finishes as the top two amateur finishers. Reflections on the race @ 24:00 The two athletes reflect on the camaraderie and competitiveness of their race, with neither wanting to make a decisive move to drop the other. They discuss the highlights of the final miles, including the moment when Colin's fiancée informed him he was 11 seconds behind Tom. Both express pride in their sub-9 hour performances and being among the few amateurs to achieve that feat on the challenging Lake Placid course. Tom's future plans @ 1:23:30 With his strong Ironman Lake Placid result, Tom now has the opportunity to race as a professional. He discusses his plans to race as an amateur one more time at Ironman 70.3 Michigan before potentially making the transition to the pro ranks, while also balancing his upcoming wedding and training.
