We’re officially less than 30 days out from the Ironman World Championship and in that honor, Competitor Radio will be running 30 of our favorite interviews with Ironman World Champions.

This next interview is with the 2005 champion, Faris Al Sultan. We had the opportunity to chat with him a few months before his biggest ever win. Huddle and Babbitt love Faris. He is old school all the way and proves it by racing in his Speedo. Faris is also into leading on the bike so that he can chase the helicopter. Enjoy!
