He came 2nd at the 2017 70.3 World Championships behind Javier Gomez, 4th in 2018 behind Jan Frodeno, Alistair Brownlee & Javier Gomez and then 6th in 2021 in one of the deepest races in Ironman 70.3 history. He’s also won multiple Ironman 70.3’s in dominant fashion. We talk in extreme detail about the training that got him to that level, the system he and his coach use in their training.
