India Lee answers: What is it about Ironman that draws people in?

The team is back together!

Joanne Murphy and India Lee give us all the details from-the-ground in Marbella at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships (including a party we're not allowed to talk about), and then they try to tackle the question: What makes the challenge of Ironman so appealing?

The Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Marbella: The energy, excitement, activations, and vibes were next level with over 6,300 athletes from 114 countries. And the racing? It lived up to the hype with another Lucy Charles-Barclay v. Taylor Knibb showdown. They both showed they're not to be counted out!

Did this actually inspire our own Katie Zaferes to try for 70.3 Worlds qualification in a couple of years...?? And has Lucy reached superstar status?

Then, it's all about how athletes — including Indie — are getting through the last few big T100 races of the year, what changes could be made to the Ironman Pro Series, and why it's better when 70.3 Worlds is before Ironman Worlds.

She tells us about:

• Why the British female triathletes so good
• Her journey from short-course to medium-course to Ironman
• What it is that makes people want to sign up for another one
• And that allure of Kona
