In this episode, Ben Kanute breaks down what it really takes to race at the highest level of triathlon. We dig into the evolving Pro Series, the realities of drafting in modern racing, and how tactics are changing as the sport continues to grow.
Ben opens up about his relationship with suffering in training and racing — how he handles those dark moments, what he focuses on when things get hard, and why embracing discomfort has become one of his greatest strengths. We also talk about confidence: where it comes from, how he builds it, and how he maintains belief through setbacks and big career shifts.
If you’re curious about the mindset, strategy, and honesty behind world-class performance, this conversation delivers it.
