Lukas Siska recently finished third at Ironman UK, in his first attempt at the distance. This is his comeback season after a 3 year lay off from racing following the end of his ITU career, where he represented Slovakia. The life of a pro triathlete can be difficult, and we hear about the disappointment of not making the olympics after a run of awful luck in WTS races in 2015. We get the inside track on his training during his comeback, in the run up to Ironman UK. We hear about how his passion for racing has returned - and how he now wants to mix it with the best long distance triathletes in the World!
