We catch up with Joe Skipper, winner of the 2018 Ironman UK race. We hear about how his day went, how it feels to have finally won the event after finishing on the podium three previous times, and about his unusual recovery strategy after Challenge Roth 2 weeks earlier. Warning - it involves a barbecue, a late nite, a football World Cup semi final and an Olympic distance race!
