Young rising star Sam Laidlow made the race yesterday in his debut at the Ironman World Championship in Kona. We chatted with Sam about his race, which he raced from the front from the start to the last few miles of the run. For Sam, who has been racing triathlons since he was 4 years old: “Yesterday was a dream come true.”
