We caught up with Braden Currie in the pro recovery room, where he was still getting his feet under him after a brutal sprint to the line at the Ironman World Championship in St. George. Currie, who led for much of the day in the front bike pack, was passed on the run and then caught in the fine quarter-mile by Lionel Sanders. He tells us what that was like and how an otherwise perfect day came together.
