14. Craig Alexander (3x IRONMAN World Champion)

August 06, 2020 • Paul Jones & Kate Charlton • Season 1 • Episode 14

This episode we have ANOTHER legend of the sport... this guys is one of Paul's heroes... this week we welcome Craig Alexander.

Wow! When we started the PK Triathlon podcast, Kate Charlton & Paul Jones didn't expect so many legends of the sport of Triathlon to be as willing to come on and talk so passionately about the sport.

"Crowie" has been racing as a pro for 25 years! Throughout the episode, Craig reveals his passion for the sport and his knowledge of the sport. We talk about the athletes he raced against – there are a lot of those!

We also discuss why he left his 21st birthday party early (yes – we really do!), how he learnt to win IRONMAN Hawaii, we discuss how if he hadn't lost in 2007 he may never have won in 2008 and 2009... and 2011.

Craig openly talks about discovering mental tools and strengths to help him improve as an athlete.

What comes across throughout the interview is his passion for the sport, the respect for his competitors and the determination to continually test himself against the best athletes in the world.

Seriously everyone, if you enjoy Triathlon, sit down and listen to this... it is MINT and well worth the listen.
