Cycling 906km in 25 hours with diabetes - George Kirkpatrick


Listen Later

Competitive endurance sports are some of the most physically and mentally challenging events you can experience. Adding diabetes into the mix adds another level altogether, with serious consequences if you get it wrong. 

Despite this George has thrived, winning the 25 hour Red Bull Timelaps cycling race twice, in triathlon representing Great Britain at the full Ironman distance, as well as a number of other ultra events. 

An outstanding example for other diabetics as well as some key takeaways on training, wanting it, and the mindset needed to crush your competitors over 900km. "Winning is a choice".


Note: Unfortunately a sound failure reduced the quality of the second half of the recording. Hang in there, George's story is well worth it.
