    Welcome to series 2!  Boom - Kate Charlton & Paul Jones start this year of the PK Triathlon Podcast with an absolute legend!  None other than 6x IRONMAN World Champion - Dave Scott. He first won the IRONMAN title in 1980. Over the next 16 years he won five more Ironman World Championship titles, became the first athlete to go under 3:00 hours for the Ironman marathon, then the first to go under 2:55 and the first to go under 2:50. He was also the first person to go under 10 hours, 9 hours and 8:30 in Kona. The 1989 race is known simply as IRONWAR, “The Man” went 8:10:13 that day and broke his course record by over 18 minutes. At the age of 40 he went on to finished 2nd, after a 5 year break and then finished 5th in 1996 aged 42. He has been in the sport more than 40 years… still looks fit and like he could kick ass too… [Paul] I'll be honest, I am a little nervous as this is one of my coaching & sporting inspirations... This episode is full of passion, emotion, entertainment, knowledge.  Dave is incredibly open in this interview... which is fabulous to listen to.  All this made even more incredible, when you consider, he crashed his bike a couple of weeks ago and broke his leg in four places...

    23. Jem Lawson (He has done a lot!)

    This episode is full of everything, a history of British Triathlon, Triathlon in the North East, plenty of anecdotes and to be honest a pretty astonishing legacy in the sport! Kate Charlton & Paul Jones (PK Triathlon Podcast) sit down with a Triathlon legend... no not a Brownlee (although they do get a mention... "something about scrawny little kids from Leeds!"), nor is it Mark Allen or any other well know Triathlete.  Paul & Kate are talking to Jem Lawson. Jem represented Great Britain as an Age-Grouper.  He was Chair of Tyne Triathlon Club and then a leading club coach.  Jem also chaired the North East Regional Committee.  He set up the North East Children’s Triathlon with Phil Davies. Jem has been a board member of British Triathlon, becoming Vice-Chair in 2005.  In 2007 he became Chair of the newly formed Triathlon England.   At an international level Jem has served as Secretary General to the Board of the Association of Commonwealth Triathlon Nations. Listen in as we talk through some of the changes we have seen in the sport, how Jem was feared (mainly by Paul) as a referee, the evolution of the sport, bringing in development officers,  how the North East Children's Triathlon was developed and the history of Tyne Triathlon Club.  We talk about Jem's legacy to the sport of Triathlon and how he ended up wrestling! We also discuss why you should have a Gin and Tonic before every race and why Jem thinks we should all go to Turkey!  Oh and he is still racing today...  this is full of entertainment, history, passion and knowledge.  Grab a cuppa (or a G&T) and enjoy.
