Will Watson: Winning 70.3 Waco as an Age Grouper

Will Watson: Winning 70.3 Waco as an Age Grouper

In this episode I sit down with Will Watson, who packed up his life in Portland and moved to Austin, Texas, where he knew just one person, to chase the dream of becoming a professional triathlete. Fresh off his age group win at Ironman 70.3 Waco, Will shares what that leap of faith has taught him, how his approach to training has evolved, and what changed when he started coaching himself.

Things We talk about

• How Will structured his training leading into 70.3 Waco

• What self coaching looks like for a competitive age grouper

• Lessons learned from balancing work, life, and elite level racing

• The mindset shift that helped him race with confidence and freedom

• Key takeaways for athletes looking to take ownership of their own training

This conversation is packed with practical insights for age group triathletes chasing their next breakthrough and proof that trusting your own process can lead to incredible results.
