In today’s podcast we’re speaking with one of the Britain’s best known triathletes. A man who has experienced the absolute highs - 3 Olympic Games, 4 world titles, the fastest official, accurate Ironman in history, as well as absolute lows. Breaking his neck and wearing a Halo device for 3 months.

Congratulations if you have worked out that my guest is none other than Mr. Tim Don. As you will discover as we chat, Tim is an all-round, nice guy and such a humble person.
