Will I Be Fit or Cooked | The Build to the Ironman World Championship Begins

Ben Kanute is training for the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. In Episode 1 of his Road to Kona, we go inside Ben's Ironman training for a key bike-run brick as he builds toward the biggest race in long-course triathlon. After a challenging year and a half, Ben delivered a breakthrough podium performance at Ironman Lake Placid. Now he's building on that momentum as he prepares to race the Ironman World Championship in Kona. This workout follows Ben through a key Ironman bike-run brick, with hot conditions making an already demanding training day even harder. It's an inside look at the training of a professional triathlete preparing for Kona—from the bike session to the transition and run off the bike. Ben may be heading into this year's Ironman World Championship under the radar, but the goal is much bigger: arrive in Kona ready to compete with the best in the world. Could Ben finish as the top American in Kona? Can he fight for the top 10—or even the top five—at the Ironman World Championship? The Build to Kona follows Ben Kanute through the final stages of his Ironman World Championship preparation, including key swim, bike and run workouts, brick sessions, recovery, race preparation and the final push toward Kona.
