Everyday Ironman Podcast

In this episode, Scott Sugimoto returns to talk about his experience at Ironman St. George. Scott had the opportunity to complete his very 1st full distance race at the Ironman World Championships just weeks ago.

Scott shares because of how close he lives to St. George that he had the opportunity to do some training on course 3 weeks prior to the event.

Because the World Championships are the well the World Championships, before breaking down Scott’s race we talked about the days leading into the race.

Scott gave an account of how he and his wife traveled to St. Geroge, talked about where they stayed, when they got there, and we discussed some of the items they purchased as souvenirs.

We talk about some of the pros that Scott saw prior to the event, and we agree on who we were routing for in the Pro Woman’s race.

I try to get Scott to predict the winning numbers to the lotto drawing because he finished the race within 6 minutes of the time he told me that I would take when I checked in with him the week before.

We finally get around to talking about Scott’s actual race and we break it down discipline by discipline. Scott shares how it felt while I remind him of his finish times and Age Group placing.

Scott shares what that he had so much fun that he is not finished racing. He is racing Ironman 70.3 Cozumel this September and told his wife that she can pick out the venue next year. Scott and his wife will be celebrating their 30th Wedding Anniversary and plans to take a racecation.
