A racer from India has just arrived at my hostel in Port Elizabeth. By coincidence his international Ironman last year was in Nice, France. I happened to be at that one too.
These races seem to follow me around.
He estimates there are only 5-10 Ironman finishers in all of India.
What’s the goal?
He’s planning on both a double Ironman and triple Ironman, both being hosted in England.
