SUZANNE: Hi there this is Suzanne Atkinson with Triathlon Research Podcast and today I am interviewing Ivan O’Gorman. Ivan is originally from Ireland currently living in Boulder, Colorado and he works with ritual. How are you Ivan? IVAN: Wonderful Suzanne, Thanks for having me, SUZANNE: Thanks for joining us. Ivan, I usually start out my podcast by getting to know my guest a little bit and you’re originally from Ireland and somehow you ended up in Boulder, Colorado and I’m sure a lot happened in between that. Can you give us the quick version on how you ended up in the cycling and triathlon of the world? IVAN: Yeah I grew up in Ireland, background cutlet family, small farmers and always crazy in sports and lucky enough to represent my country. Those sports always been a part of me and there are a lot of things we can about in the middle. I was introduce by Todd Carver through some connections in Jerrod and at the time we’re working with Jerrod on shoe design, and I got to work with Todd a little closely on that and kind of expand from there.
