Ali was our very first guest way back in April 2016, making another appearance on episode 100 co-sharing the microphone to look back at the first 100 episodes of the show.

Alastair has become a father to baby boy Danny, husband to wife Kel, picked up another Kelloggs Nutri-Grain Ironman Series title, added a 7th Coolangatta Gold victory to his resume and the 2021 Australian Surf Life Saving title Ironman crown victory.

In this episode Ali shares around the challenges he faced as he hit his life's lowest point following a freak accident where he fractured both wrists for a promotional photo shoot which left him sidelined for 16 months with question marks over his ability to ever compete at a professional Ironman level again.
