episode 102 : the iron couple
We welcomed husband and wife full Ironman duo Nathan Jon Sing and Abigail Low to the red seats this week. For most of us doing a Full Ironman is a daunting task in itself, but try Abigail and Nathan for some reason decided in January to sign up for Busselton Ironman this year without ever even completing a sprint distant triathlon before. In Abigail's case, she didn't even know how to swim freestyle and had never ridden a road bike. Listen to their refreshingly candid stories on the real struggles of mid pack age groupers attempting to go from Zero to Hero in one calendar year. Far from elite athletes, the both of them have stories that we all can relate to and is a reminder to us all that its not always about getting onto the podium or having the fastest time... its about the journey, the stories along the way, the trials and tribulations as we work towards the finish line. We discuss very real issues that triathletes have such as fueling, bike handling, pacing, the fear of open water swimming, dealing with the weather and all the thrilling ups and the disappointing downs within a race. who's idea was it? which one is more motivated to train? what was it like training and racing with your spouse? which one of them peed while on the bike during the race? how did they train while both have busy careers? did they have doubts they could do it? we discuss it all about the guests: Abigail Low: @runswithabi Nathan Jon Sing : @nathan_triathlon how to get a hold of us: [email protected] @fahrenheitperformancepodcast Listen now whenever you listen to your favourite podcasts (@Spotify / @applepodcasts etc) or watch it on @youtube.
