In this episode of "Find Your Finish Line," I had the pleasure of chatting with the legendary Greg Welch, a former professional triathlete who has achieved the remarkable feat of winning the Grand Slam in the sport. Greg shared his incredible journey, from his early days in Australia to his triumphant victories at the ITU Triathlon World Championships, the IRONMAN World Championship, and more. We delved into his experiences, including the harrowing moments during the LA fires and his inspiring comeback stories.
Greg also opened up about his health challenges, including a life-threatening heart condition that forced him to retire from professional racing. Despite these setbacks, Greg's passion for the sport remains undiminished. He continues to contribute to the triathlon community through his work as a commentator and his involvement with Oakley. We discussed the current state of triathlon, the importance of equality in the sport, and the camaraderie that binds the triathlon family together.
