QT2 Systems - My Life as a Pro - Episode 8 - Tim Snow

QT2 Systems Podcast Center!

Have you ever wondered about the life of a professional triathlete? In this podcast series, we interview current and retired QT2 Systems Professional Triathletes, exploring the path to earning (and maintaining) a pro license, the nuts and bolts of training and racing, and the ups and downs along the way. The guests also share how being a pro triathlete shaped their lives, and what advice they would give to their younger selves.

Episode 8 features Tim Snow. Tim has had a long and storied triathlon career. He participated in his first triathlon in 1998, and immediately caught the bug. Over the next couple of years, he raced as often as he could, including twice on some weekends. He started having success in these races, and in 2000, met the qualifications for a pro card. Motivated in part by the opportunity to race in sold out IRONMAN Florida, he decided to to take the next step and enter the pro world. Over the next thirteen years, Tim would go on to race dozens of IRONMAN races as well as many other shorter events. In 2013, he retired as a pro, but continued to race as an age grouper - in triathlon, as well as running and cycling events.

Over the years, Tim also has coached many professional triathletes. In this podcast, he discusses the opportunities available to professional athletes, but also the pressures they experience. Listen in as Tim talks motivations, expectations, stressors and rewards. His advice to someone considering turning pro: be comfortable with putting yourself in an environment where you will lose to become better.
