In today's episode, Simon interviews professional triathlete and reigning Outlaw triathlon champion Kit Walker.
Although he races as a Pro, Kit also has a part time job as well as a young family. In this conversation he candidly discusses the reality of life as a professional triathlete and how that differs massively from the lifestyle that most age group athletes think of. We discuss:
- Progressing from a novice triathlete to a pro in 5 years
- The reality of life as a pro triathlete
- The valuable lesson Kit learned from his first few months of training as a pro
- Mallorca 70.3 and the "baptism of fire" at his first pro race
- Time management, food preparation, and the daily balancing act
- Choosing to race as a pro placing 7th, versus being the best age grouper
- Kit’s advice to age groupers thinking of turning pro
