Scott Iott & Mission Kona Co-Host, Mike Payne, join forces to talk through Ironman Wisconsin 2022 - the rain, the wind, the cold... but even more important the preparation, mental toughness, and fortitude to keep moving forward.

Scott Iott finished 3rd in the 45-49 age group at Wisconsin. His 25th full Ironman event and 13th time qualifying for the Ironman World Championships. Scott considers IM Wisconsin his "home course" having raced it 6 times. He works in education outside of Chicago, IL and resides with his wife and 2 sons. He is also a triathlon coach - and actually - he's Mike's coach!

There's a ton of information packed into this episode from Scott's start in triathlon, connections to some pretty cool people, and how his unique coaching style paired with knowledge of the Ironman Wisconsin course has translated into some spectacular results for himself and his athletes.

Both Scott and Mike share the perspective on how your consistency in training and commitment to enjoying the process can make a terrible weather day work in your favor. Don't misunderstand - the day was brutal - but dealing with less than favorable conditions is just part of the game.
