Grit or Gift: Triathlete Sam Long

Our guest today is Sam Long, a Miraflora-sponsored professional triathlete and native of Boulder, Colorado. He has won two Ironmans and eight middle distance races, and he got a silver at the 70.3 World Championships in 2021. This past season, he’s had some ups and downs, and was the subject of controversy when his feud with fellow triathlete Sam Laidlow went public. He also got a controversial penalty in the St. George 70.3 World Championships last fall, which cost him the race. We caught up with him from his new home in Arizona to ask him all about this and more. Welcome to the show.
