A podcast to help you Train Smarter and Race Faster. Hosted by expert Triathlon coach, Australian Ironman Champion and 15 x Aus Age group Champion Gerard Donnelly, and his son, multiple Triathlon + Cycling Aus Age Group Champion Jordy Donnelly.

Shelby—a 26-year-old pilot—trained for 11 months to race Ironman Port Mac, only to have work force her to defer. Six weeks later, she lined up at Cairns… after emergency surgery just one week before race day.

This episode covers:
● Training through injury and chaos
● Balancing Ironman prep with a wild travel schedule
● The power of a well-timed B race
● Trusting the process when everything goes wrong
● Running a marathon PB off the back of it all
● Making it to the start line is half the battle. Shelby’s story proves it.
