How special is this young man? Alex Yee ran 2:11:08 in his first-ever marathon in London, the fastest marathon ever for a pro triathlete, and he has two Olympic gold medals, one Olympic silver and one Olympic bronze. Add in two Commonwealth gold medals, a classic good old fashioned rivalry with 2024 Olympic silver medalist Hayden Wilde, and his comeback from a brutal 2017 bike crash in Cagliari, an event that he has now won three times. This was just a wonderful conversation with an amazing athlete and person who understands and embraces his role as a leader in our sport. Maybe in 2029 or so we’ll get to see Alex and Hayden go head-to -head on the Kona Coast of Hawaii!!
