March 02, 2020 Timothy O'Donnell - Ironman Champion
Timothy O'Donnell is one of the worlds greatest Ironman athletes. His performance at the 2019 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii of 7hrs 59mins and change was the first American to ever break 8hrs at the event and he’s now only one of 4 men ever to break the 8hr barrier.

His ITU world long course championship title in 2009 set the stage for him to become one of worlds all-time greatest endurance athletes. Since then he has had an incredible resume of performances at the Ironman World Championships with a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th place finish. He races with guts and combines that with smarts. Never afraid to go off the front but always calculating.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better man to spend an entire day with. Train all day and then share a few bottles of his amazing wine collection and sit back and listen to some classic John Denver on his vinyl record player. It doesn’t get much better!

February 24, 2020 Mario Mola - Three time World Champion Triathlete
Mario Mola is arguably the fastest runner the sport of Triathlon has ever seen.

With run times off hard bikes consistently under 14mins for the 5km, that’s under 2min .48 per kilometer or under 4min 27 mile pace and he has 10k times to match

But, he’s far more than just a brilliant runner… he has supported this run with an incredibly powerful swim, bike combination, that has had him win 3 consecutive ITU World Championship Series Titles in 2016, 2017 and 2018. And this past 7 years when he’s not winning he’s on the podium for the series with 3 wins, 3 x 2nds and 3rd.

He’s a smiling assassin. One of the most humble, respectful and laid back men in the sport but with a fierce ferocity on the race course that stretches his competitors to their limit … much like a medieval torturer stretching them on his rack until they break.

A good friend and at the young age of 29 already a legend in the sport of Triathlon and a true champion. Hailing from the small island of Mallora, Spain.
