We’re trying something new here at Fitspeek, our first feature-length interview, and we dive right in with a piece on one of the most influential people in the sport of triathlon, Dan Empfield.
You’ll hear about Dan’s beginnings as a runner and a junior lifeguard in Huntington Beach, California, and then his life-changing experience at the 1982 Hawaii Ironman.
Also in the interview is a neat little segment that I call A Day in the Life where you’ll get a chance to find out how Slowman fills his days (spoiler alert: more coffee, product testing, gravel bike). Of course being the visionary that he is, we end off the interview with his thoughts on the future of the sport. Hear all 100 minutes of our time with Dan Empfield by pressing play in that little box below.
