We're back, and we're joined by club member Abbie Evans, hot off the back of the Ironman 70.3 World Champs in Marbella. We discuss everything from growing up playing hockey, how she got into Triathlon (blame Sam), what it's like to have a legend as a father and go through her race history. We discuss her races in Swansea 70.3, Ironman Wales and the Ironman World champs in Nice and Marbella. We also have a chat about the new slot allocation system, which is a hot topic at the moment. It was a pleasure to have Abbie on. If you want to be our next guest, get in touch.
