About this listen

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Mike is joined by friend, co-worker, and first-time 70.3 finisher Christopher Sprowl. From staying at Mike’s house race week to toeing the line at the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Dallas-Little Elm, Chris shares his journey from college high jumper and high school swimmer to triathlete.

They dive into wetsuit struggles, heart rate zones (including a max HR of 209), and the reality of balancing training with family life. Race day brought unexpected challenges, including a canceled swim and brutal winds on the bike and run. Chris reflects on pushing through adversity, crossing the finish line, and becoming a healthier version of himself for his wife and two young boys.

What’s next for Chris? Mike makes sure to ask.
