201: From Shooting Up to Shooting for Kona I Quit ____ and Started Running

Kicking off Season 2 is today's guest, Noel Mulkey from Tulsa, OK. If you follow Noel on social media, you know the kind of athlete that he is. In only 5 years doing triathlon, he holds multiple Olympic Distance overall wins and course records in the south Midwest region. He was awarded All American triathlete for the past 3 years in a row and on his very first attempt at a Half Ironman distance, he qualified for the 2019 Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Nice. And it all started with running in an attempt to lose weight and find himself again after detox and recovery from a hard battle with heroin abuse at a very young age. To follow Noel, check him out on Instagram at @noelmulkey and Tik Tok at @noelmulk0.
