In a nod to Father’s Day, Sarah and Dimity talk with Russell Newell, a father of four young kiddos and the author of Irondad Life. In detailing his journey to being on the cusp of his seventh Ironman triathlon, Russ shares: 

-how the more kids he has, the tougher training becomes; 

-his training (or lack thereof!); 

-why he cries as he sprints to the finish line; 

-nutrition advice that helped him get in racing shape; and,

-marathon pacing advice.  

In the intro, Sarah details her recent East Coast trip to visit her elderly mother and her BFF. The Irondad hustles in at 16:41.
