Party Like it's 1995 with Dede Griesbauer and IRONMAN Hall of Fame Inductee, Karen Smyers - Live from the IRONMAN World Championships

Two triathlon legends. One incredible friendship. And decades of stories from the sport they love.

We're LIVE from Kona with 1995 Ironman World Champion and new Hall of Fame inductee Karen Smyers and three-time Ironman champion Dede Griesbauer.

What started with DeDe asking Karen for a little race advice turned into a lifelong friendship, a professional racing career, and plenty of laughs along the way.

From legendary Kona moments and questionable pre-race rituals to competing well into their 50s, these two share lessons on longevity, mentorship, and never letting age define what's possible.

Together, they discuss:

• The mentorship and friendship that shaped their careers
• Karen's unforgettable 1995 Kona victory
• Racing into their 50s and refusing to let age define what's possible
• How triathlon has changed over the decades
• Their best advice for women tackling Kona

True legends of the Queen K!
