In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race I talk with Matt Hanson who just won the North American Championship at Ironman Texas. He talks about his training leading into race week, his nutrition, and the amazing moment of hugging his wife at the finish line. Matt mentions how he loves going back to the finish line right after the race to give back to the sport and award the final hour finishers.
