This week Hugo Fry joins for the July Fry Up and finally reveals all about SECRET sub 10 ironman he did on just 6 weeks of training, finishing in 9 hours 30 minutes without really telling anyone beforehand - throwing hot soup on himself mid-race, choppy lake swims, and all. We get into why he kept it low-key instead of milking it for content, how Jess' Ironman experience highlighted how intimidating triathlon can be for women, dealing with hate watchers, navigating the "World Cup summer" content slump, and wrap up with a proper Room 101 segment covering everything from AI brand emails to portaloos before a race.
