Ernie Mantell: Racing, Relocating, and Resilience in Triathlon

In this episode I sit down with professional triathlete Ernie Mantell to dive into the wild ride that is his career and life abroad. From packing up and moving from the US to Spain, to navigating cultural shifts, to finding his stride in European racing, Ernie brings raw honesty and plenty of laughs.

We get into: • Why he chose to leave the US and what life in Spain has taught him • Crazy ex girlfriend stories (yes triathletes have those too!) • The unique challenges and opportunities of racing and living in Europe • How he has turned himself into a consistent front pack swimmer • The ups, downs, and lessons learned from his 9th place finish at Ironman Switzerland

If you want a behind the scenes look at what it is really like chasing triathlon dreams across continents with all the highs, lows, and unexpected stories along the way this one is for you.
