One Year. Countless Finish Lines | Tom Scheer’s Quest for a Guinness World Record
What does it take to chase a Guinness World Record—one 70.3 triathlon at a time?
In this episode of the Exposed Vegan Media Podcast, I sit down with my friend and fellow triathlete Tom Scheer to talk about his incredible journey to compete in the most 70.3-distance triathlons in a single year.
But this conversation is about so much more than race numbers and finish lines.
Tom takes us behind the scenes of what it really takes to pursue a goal this BIG—the planning, travel, race fees, nutrition, recovery, documentation, family sacrifices, physical challenges, mental battles, and the support from people who have followed his journey along the way.
We talk about:
• How Tom found triathlon and what keeps bringing him back
• Why he decided to chase a Guinness World Record
• How he mapped out an entire year of racing
• The financial and logistical reality behind the challenge
• Racing multiple 70.3s and recovering week after week
• Nutrition, injuries, setbacks, and the moments when his body was tested
• The sacrifices made by his family and support system
• The mental strength required to keep showing up
• What this journey has taught him about himself
• And, of course…what comes NEXT?
We also have a little fun with a triathlon lightning round!
Whether you’re preparing for your first 5K, dreaming about your first triathlon, chasing a PR, or pursuing a goal that other people think sounds absolutely crazy, Tom’s journey is a reminder of what’s possible when you’re willing to commit to the work.
🎙️ Subscribe to the Exposed Vegan Media Podcast for more conversations about endurance, wellness, nutrition, entrepreneurship, and the people who continue to challenge what’s possible.
