Summary

Today I'm joined by my friend and (sometimes) summertime training partner Terenzo Bozzone – 5-time World Champion professional triathlete. I met “T” right after I completed EPIC5 back in 2010 when he arrived in town along with Chris McCormack for several weeks of intense spring training. With a gracious poise and maturity well beyond his mere 28 years, Terenzo is one of the brightest stars in professional triathlon, as well as a remarkable ambassador of the sport — always quick with a kind word of encouragement to his fellow training partners and never too busy to connect on a personal level with his many fans. I've had the honor of getting to spend some quality training time with Terenzo over the last three years and will say this — the sport of triathlon is a better place with him in it. T is one of the good guys. A guy you want to see win. A guy you can really get behind and root for. I'm so pleased that Terenzo took time out of his busy training schedule leading up to his peak race of the season — The Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas just two weeks from today — to sit down and have a chat about his training, racing and life. I hope you enjoy the show. No doubt you'll end up a big fan of all things Terenzo. So do the guy a solid and let's all show him some Twitter and facebook love to get him pumped for the big show in Vegas! Enjoy! Rich

1:06.0	And I'm very proud to have Terenzo on the show today. He is such a poised young man.
1:12.0	I'm so impressed by him. At only 28 years of age, he has the maturity of somebody who's been around on the planet much longer than that.
1:23.0	And as I say to him at the end of the interview, I wish I had one Iota of his maturity when I was his age.
1:29.0	He's just a very, very impressive guy who carries the message of support across the globe in a very positive way.

2:41.0	And he was third at the 70.3 Vine man. In 2012, he won four 70.3 Iron Man races. Those are half Iron Man distance if you're wondering.
2:52.0	And this is coming off of an Achilles injury that kind of had him sideline for a while.
