Sergio Marques is our guest this week. The Portuguese triathlete has finished 49 Ironman races in his career and recently he just qualified for Kona, again at the only full Ironman organized this year post Covid-19 lockdown! After he won the Age Groups race in 2019 in Kona, Sergio was disqualified for a mistake done in the 70.3 Cascais, here we can listen to what happened and how he was able to maintain his motivation to keep training to get the slot again. In this odd year we’re living in, Sergio shares with us how he has been able to keep training despite all the circumstances and how he keeps the balance between work, training, and his family that recently just got bigger.

In this episode, we talk with Helder Milheiras, a Portuguese coach that went to Tallinn to follow one of his athletes, Sergio Marques. We all question ourselves how is an Ironman race during this period, what concerns we need to have and what measures we need to take to prevent any contamination, Helder shares with us what they needed to do to be able to travel to Estonia. We also discussed how Helder made a training plan for Sergio with the goal to qualify for Kona but without knowing when he would be able to race.
