JYD - Ironman Austria Debrief


Listen Later

In this honest and wide-ranging episode of the JYD Podcast, Joe Skipper opens up about his tough day at Ironman Austria. Despite solid training and a good taper, Joe felt completely empty on the bike and run. He breaks down the race from a decent non-wetsuit swim to a sluggish ride and a run that never got going. He suspects illness or the effects of altitude might be to blame and shares the frustration of doing everything right but still having it fall apart on race day.


Joined by regular guest Tom Epton, the conversation turns reflective as they discuss the emotional rollercoaster of professional sport. They talk about how rare the highs are, how common setbacks feel, and the challenge of staying motivated through it all. Joe talks about trying to reset and look ahead to Challenge Roth as a shot at redemption.


The episode also covers recent pro racing including:


Ironman Cairns where Matt Marquardt impressed with a comeback win after cramping early


70.3 Boulder with a big win for Sam Appleton and rising American Colin Szuch making waves


The T100 series where both Joe and Tom voice strong opinions about the current format. They argue for larger fields, open qualification, and fewer distractions like mid-race interviews
