S4E13 -- Ohana Athlete Rob Gray : Comrades Finisher

Rob Gray is a world traveller who has benefited from the transition to remote work.  He describes himself as a Boulder guy from South Africa with a British passport.  We caught up during a two week period that he was home packing to move the family to Phuket, Thailand after returning from competing at the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. 

Rob won his first Ultraman race in Florida in 2016 and went on to race in Hawaii that same year finishing second.  In fact he has stood on all three levels of the podium on the big island with a win in 2017.  He shares a number of tips about training and racing the 515 distance that he has garnered over the years. 

These days he works (remotely) full time as a coach through his website UltramanCoach.com along with his friend and 2015 Ultraman Hawaii champion, Mike Coughlin, who was on the podcast in S2E7.
