What happens when an Ironman World Champion trades the lava fields of Kona for the snowy mountains of Steamboat? In this episode of Skimo Gold, legendary triathlete Tim DeBoom joins hosts Travis Macy and Cam Smith for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation about the evolution of sport, identity, and finding new purpose beyond the podium.
Tim reflects on his iconic triathlon career, including two wins in Kona, chasing Olympic dreams, and navigating the shifting tides of professional endurance racing. He also opens up about his post-retirement journey, the transition into fatherhood, and discovering skimo as both a passion and a pathway to giving back. Now a coach mentoring youth athletes in Colorado, Tim shares how he's building a program focused on grit, fun, and lifelong fitness.
Expect stories of training through identity shifts, comparisons between triathlon and skimo's Olympic trajectories, and how short-format races might just be the secret to growing the sport. And why sometimes the best workout is the one with zero data.
