In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we’re joined by Adam Jones—recording remotely while stuck in the Atlanta airport—for a wide-ranging conversation that Age Group Athletes will truly relate to. Adam shares how his endurance journey began not with triathlon, but with RAGBRAI, the iconic 7-day bike ride across Iowa, sparking a lifelong passion for endurance sports.
Adam walks us through his progression into triathlon, starting with a Sprint distance race and a Top 5 Age Group finish, moving up to Olympic distance, a weather-shortened bike at Ironman 70.3 Des Moines, and ultimately tackling Ironman Wisconsin. He reveals his unique bike choice—a Salsa Cutthroat—and reflects on a “life-changing” Death by 5K event that reshaped his mindset.
Now racing in the 40–45 Age Group, Adam looks ahead to what’s next, including Ironman 70.3 Omaha this June.
