    Another exciting Kona Build Up episode coming at you this week!

    Mike & Michelle had the pleasure of chatting with Lars Wichert, currently the age group record holder for the Ironman distance! Lars raced 2024 Ironman Hamburg finishing 1st overall with a time of 7:50:42! And over 5 minutes ahead of 2nd place, in a truly incredible performance!

    Lars lives and trains in Germany and shares everything from his athletic background to the balance of being a parent, husband, employee, and triathlete. While his path and training schedule may be a bit unique, there's no denying the incredible talent and determination he has.

    Interestingly, Lars did not accept his Kona slot at Ironman Hamburg, but decided to race Ironman Frankfurt where he finished 2nd overall and did take his slot for 2024 Ironman World Championships in Kona. Listen to the episode to hear about why he made this decision and what his goals are for returning to Kona later this month.

    We're bringing you another fantastic conversation with athlete Adam Holz! A now resident of Boulder, CO, Adam grew up in Pennsylvania where he began his triathlon journey less than 5 years ago.

    Adam secured his Kona slot at 2024 Ironman Texas finishing 7th in the 25-29 age group after an incredible performance in a very stacked field. What began as a dream 8 years prior to race on the big island is coming to fruition in a just a few short weeks!

    We enjoyed this casual chat through Adam's Kona build, what a week of training looks like, and how triathlon is truly a way of life for him. Living and training in Boulder provides access to some of the most scenic spaces for quality bike rides and runs, while also being surrounded by so many like-minded athletes to encourage him achieve his big goals!

    Be sure to follow along with Adam as he races the 2024 Ironman World Championship in Kona!

    Mike & Michelle were excited to sit down for this conversation with Alfredo Ramirez Pinho who just won 2024 Ironman Wisconsin! This was a hometown race for Alfredo, which means the win was extra special. Not to mention the race took place just days after the birth of his 3rd child!

    As a 35-39 age grouper and member of the Every Man Jack team, Alfredo shares how Ironman Wisconsin was a key element in this Kona build and a clear demonstration of where his fitness is at going into these final weeks of training before race day. Hear how he secured his spot to the World Championships and gain some insight into what a typical training week looks like for Alfredo.

    You will definitely want to add him in the tracker for race day!
