In the summer of 2019 Benji Vargas did a very inspirational thing. He flew to Europe and raced two full Ironman races in a weekend. Ironman Kalmar in Sweden on Saturday and Ironman Copenhagen on Sunday.
If this sounds like an impossible thing to do you will enjoy this episode tremendously. Benji shares how he prepared for this double, how he and some friends made it happen and all the details including how he felt afterwards.
Doing a single Ironman once in your lifetime is something that most people will never do. Doing 2 in a weekend is an even smaller group of people. It's not just Benji there is a group of people who enjoy challenges like this.
In this episode, we also talk about Luis Alvarez. He is a previous guest on the podcast in Episode 45. We talk about Norseman Extreme Tri and if you are curious about Norseman you will enjoy Episode 17 which is an interview with Sonja Wieck and her Norseman story.
