What's Physically Harder: Rowing 3,000 miles or racing an Ironman?

This week on our Trust the Process Podcast we are talking with D3 athlete Dixon McDonald. Dixon recently finished IM Florida in sub 9:30 – with a 45+ minute PR. He definitely had some challenges this season with a sprained ankle and then some back issues and we were unsure if he would even start the race 8 weeks out. Although his leadup was far from perfect, race day went pretty well. He has an incredible endurance background, having rowed with a team of rowers across the Atlantic. That’s just an incredible feat to me and pretty much unfathomable. Obviously, he has a lot of drive and can dig deep when he needs to draw off experience like rowing 3,000 miles! I hope you enjoy this interview with Dixon! If you like the podcast, please share it with your friends, follow the show and send us some feedback. Thank you!
