27 years between races!! That's how long it took Mike Trees between his first Ironman Triathlon to his 2nd.

In this quick part 2 of 2 episode in following his Ironman journey we talk to him about the challenges before the race, what actually happened in the race, and what's up next for him.

Spoiler - he did it! He got first in his age group and 92nd overall with a time of 10 hours 31 minutes.

He did a 1 hour 13 min swim in very cold water (17 degrees celsius - and about 67 degrees farenheit)

Blazing - 5hour 24 min bike

And then somehow had enough in him after that to run a 3 hour 44 minute marathon with a very fast last 5k kick (he heard the 2nd place guy was catching up to him!)

It was a super challenging and cold day (Florida had the coldest weather they've ever had in over 100 years!)

Heads up - Mike was on a 6 hour drive back to the airport with pro triathlete Colin Norris and was able to jump on a zoom call with me between glitchy data connections. Apologies in advance for any minor technical issues.
