Ironman Cairns Special - Emma and Colin Leeson

Smurf & Smurfette are endurance sport athletes based in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It is Ironman Cairns race week, which means for the Smurf & Smurfette Podcast, a week full of podcast episodes with special guests and lots of great advice from local Cairns athletes.

Today we talk with Emma and Colin Leeson. The father daughter duo have been training hard for Ironman Cairns 70.3 with Emma about to finish her first 70.3 and Colin coming along for the ride. Colin has been involved in triathlon since the early 90's as an athlete and also as the Managing Director of TLR Race Wheels. When Emma decided to give Cairns 70.3 a shot, Colin jumped on board to coach, support and complete the event as well. We talk with Emma and Colin about;
