It’s 8pm on a Tuesday evening and I’m exhausted – the only thing holding me upright is the wall of a supermarket on the outskirts of Bristol. I’m breathing heavier than a Dyson hand dryer, sweating profusely, and there’s one man to blame: Team GB triathlete Alex Yee.
My unusual situation stems from a chat with the Supertri athlete off the back of his gold medal win at the Paris 2024 Olympics. He’s since gone on to make his marathon debut in London, finishing in an impressive 2hr 11min 8sec.
