Patagonaman - Is this the greatest triathlon adventure you could have?


Listen Later

It all started with the Norseman, an extreme long distance triathlon in Norway that has become an iconic long distance triathlon which features on the bucket list of many triathletes who like to combine racing, adventure and travelling. Another race which is fast becoming a bucket list event is the Patagonman in Chile. 

In this week's episode I chat with Scott Whittlestone who finished 3rd overall, and his 2 support crew members, Grant Carter-Moore and Mark Taylor about last year's event. We talk about the Xtri concept, training for events like this, the essential and valuable roles of the support crew and the event itself, as well as:
  • Cold water swim training in 3ºC
  • Want to be part of the support crew - how much pressure do you like?
  • When you have a stray dog running the marathon with you!
  • To find out more about the intrepid trio you can follow them on Instagram
