Simon Ward and Kit Walker

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
