Kyle and Brent Pease are Ironman triathletes, authors, and co-founders of the Kyle Pease Foundation. The pair competed in the 2018 Kona World Championships - becoming the second ever able + disabled duo to cross the finish line. The Pease brothers started racing together in 2011 with the St. Anthony’s Triathlon in Florida. They raced for 7 years as a pair before competing in Kona, completing 3 Ironman races along the way. They discuss what it’s like being on the journey together: “That’s what we love so much about this. We get to be on that journey together, and training is a big part of it. We decided early on that this was not going to just be: ‘How strong can Bret get to carry a human?’ but: ‘How strong can both of us get mentally and physically?’”Brent trains 25 hours a week, training over-distance to account for the extra time it takes on race-day to complete the course together. Tune in to hear how Kyle prepares for race day, and how he takes on the role of coach to support and encourage his brother across the finish line. Kyle and Brent founded the Kyle Pease Foundation two months after completing their first triathlon. They were overcome with the feeling of crossing the finish line, and immediately began thinking of ways to support others to join them. They have since supported 84 individuals across 500 finish lines.Listen to hear what is next for the brothers, how their journey has impacted their lives beyond sport, and what is making their hearts beat faster. “Worry about 9 seconds at a time. The 3 seconds you just finished, the 3 seconds you’re in, and the 3 seconds you’re about to start.” Show Links:https://www.kylepeasefoundation.orghttps://www.instagram.com/walkingwithkp/https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Finish-Brent-Pease/dp/1643073982/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=beyond+the+finish&qid=1556563507&s=gateway&sr=8-1
