Interview Introduction:

Sam Long is a Boulder-based pro triathlete.  He is 23 years old, but has already completed 11 Ironman races.  He grew us as an avid skier and mountain bike rider.  In High School he found a love for endurance sports and turned pro shortly after doing his first Ironman at the age of 18.  He is one of the youngest pros on the Ironman circuit and we think he has a great career ahead of him.  Let's hear from Sam "Go" Long.
