About this episode

Sydney Gidabuday is a professional runner living in Boulder, Colorado. His bio on the Tinman Elite website says, “Once trained so hard he couldn’t feel his arms and legs, now he’s a Tinman running 7:30 pace on his easy days. Went on a 140 mile bike ride… to hang out with a girl. He’s not afraid of commitment, ladies. Born in California, raised in Tanzania, speaks Spanish,” and in this episode we talked through all of that!
