Oxygen Addict Triathlon Podcast Rob Wilby

I think this might be my current favourite of all the 306 episode interviews we’ve put out over the last 6 years!

Dave Scott is already well known for his achievements - 6 time winner of Ironman Hawaii between 1980 and 1987, successful coach to champion athletes like Chrissie Wellington, Craig Alexander, Tim Don and Julie Dibens.

What is less well known is his ongoing battle with depression that has, at times, left him unable to get off the couch. Dave is open and honest about the challenges he’s faced - how, despite the World regarding him as ‘The Man’, and his countless race successes, striving for perfection and falling short often left him feeling worthless. And he also shares about how, with time, he’s come to see things differently, how his children have helped him, and how, in turn, he’s managed to help other highly driven and obsessive athletes find a little more balance - as well as World Championship victories.

Natalie Duncombe qualified for GBR representation in the first duathlon she completed. She came to multi-sport from a running background after a period of injury forced her to take up cycling and swimming as part of her injury rehab. Over the last three years, she progressed from being happy to just cross the line after a bike crash during her first ETU champs, to an AG silver medal, to an overall AG 3rd place in 2020. We hear how she balances training and work life, how she has learned to deal with stress and pressure, and how, over time, her focus has shifted from ‘race performance goals’ to ‘training process goals.’

This week we bring you another Age Group Story. Simon Maguire has lost over 70 pounds during his triathlon journey while training for his first half Ironman. A busy company director and father of two, Simon became determined to change his life after getting to meet his idol, cricketer Freddy Flintoff. After seeing the photograph of the two of them together that his friend took, he describes being too ashamed of his weight gain to share the photo on his social media. The next day, he started on the process of changing his life - daily exercise first thing in the morning, changing his eating and drinking habits, and entering an event that inspired him to keep up with the changes daily.

This week, we catch up with Joe Skipper, fresh from the 12 Hour Time Trial where he clocked an amazing 325 miles - averaging 27 MPH! We hear about his year since his win at Ironman New Zealand in March - how he’s trained since lockdown, his recent forays into run races on the track, getting his bike stolen while training in France, and how much of a difference it’s made having some financial security courtesy of the PTO.
