The Duathlon Show sits down for an interview episode with George Koutsodontis and Hunter Lydon, new race directors at New York Triathlon (nytri.org). 2024 will be the 40th season of duathlon and triathlon racing for NYTRI, who run the only successful multisport races in New York City. This was a fascinating conversation touching on the history of multisport racing in NYC, the origins of the Beasts From Riis tri club, favorite gear, and much more. I hope you enjoy The Duathlon Show's first ever interview episode.
