Miscellaneous


Karen Smyers is an icon in our sport, and just casually holds the record as the only woman to claim the Ironman World Championship and the World Short Course Championship titles in the same year. Karen is the type of person who motivates and inspires without realising it. She's the epitome of getting shit done, excelling at it, and enjoying it along the way - she created the 3, 2, 1 taper after all! I feel like we barely scratched the Smyers surface, but what we did scratch were stories of overcoming illnesses and freak accidents, lessons learnt - whether intentionally or unintentionally, and we both love a chat.
