The finish line at an event is amazing! The relief of finally ending the discomfort you’ve put up with for the last few hours, the joy of completing something you have dreamed of for many months, maybe years. If it’s a big event, there will be your loved ones waiting, possibly some friends and lots of other spectators. And to cap it all off there will be an awesome commentator, whipping up the crowd as you cross the line, announcing your name to the world. My guest today is Paul Kaye, commentator and finish line host for Ironman events in Europe, Africa and the middle East. In recent years he’s also been part of the finish line commentary team in Kona, alongside The Voice of ironman, Mike Reilly. In today’s conversation you’ll hear a super enthusiastic and passionate talk about the job and the people he loves including:
- How he went from a radio DJ to a triathlon commentator
- Getting “iron fit” for commentating in Kona
- Why a good commentator should be ‘invisible’
- Choosing critical moments to capitalise on
- The best race he has ever commentated at
- Why you shouldn’t do silly things with your fellow commentator on the finish line
- The two events where Paul would most like to commentate
- His most embarrassing moment
- Dealing with bad days and emotions
