IMTalk Episode 548 - The Iron Century Team

News: Craig Percival fundraising page; IMNZ adding 70.3 for this year; New Ironman in Korea and Argentina; Results from Tauranga Half; John's ITU update; Discussion around Lance in NZ.  

This Weeks Discussion: Mick Simpson sent through a question, that inspired this weeks discussion, about the type of athlete you admire. So this weeks question is, which athlete do you have more respect for, one who has overcome massive life battles (like drugs and alcohol) or one who has achieved their success without making mistakes along the way?

Interview: We have John Mergler and Debi Hazelden on the show to talk about Iron Century, the crazy challenge where John will complete 100 Ironmen (in training) in 100 days, and Debi will complete 100 Half IM's at the same time.
