This week on The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we welcome Eren Hasan to talk about his journey into the sport and his race at Ironman 70.3 Duisburg — a race he won't fully remember, and not by choice.
Eren opens up about learning to swim as an adult and making the leap from a road bike to a TT bike, sharing what surprised him along the way. He's also honest about breaking one of triathlon's cardinal rules — trying new things on race day.
But the real story here is what happened on the bike course. Eren crashed during the ride and has zero memory of it — over 40km is simply gone. He only realized something happened when he noticed the scratches on his legs afterward. We talk through that experience, what it's like to piece together a race you can't remember, and what it means for how he approaches training and racing now.
