This week, in a special Father's Day edition, we're celebrating all the dads out there with an inspiring conversation! Imagine going from having no idea what a triathlon was in 2019 to becoming a fierce competitor, completing over 20 full and half Ironman races since 2021. That's the incredible journey of Ramsey Sybel, a dedicated triathlete, single father, bike fitter, and coach.
Ramsey shares his remarkable story, beginning with learning to swim as an adult. He dives into how he balances demanding training schedules with raising two young boys, and even coaches his children in youth triathlons. From those first strokes in the pool to qualifying for world championships, Ramsey reveals the transformative power of triathlon—both as an athlete and a parent.
He opens up about his rapid progression in the sport and his evolution as an athlete, shifting from rigid, metric-based goals to embracing his current fitness level and finding joy in longer distances. Ramsey also discusses how he became a certified bike fitter through his company, Triform, www.tri4orm.com.
