Rasmus Svenningson - Winning IM Nelson Mandela Bay, foregoing aero for enjoyment, and 350 W for 4 hours
This week we are joined by the Ironman Nelson Mandela Bay defending champion. 7 years ago, in 2018, Rasmus Svenningson, had his first full distance age group win at the Ironman Nelson Mandela Bay. Since then, he’s gone on the race in Gqeberha several times, leading to his eventual overall win (now as a professional athlete) last year in 2024. Rasmus has returned to South Africa to acclimate to the weather, and experience the Saffa vibes ahead of this years 20th anniversary edition. He came on the pod to chat about his rise through the ranks, his INSANE 4 hour power, how he has foregone potential aerodynamic gains for more enjoyment, his race win last year, and of course his expectations going in to this year.This was a great chat with an amazing pro athlete, and just as good a human being.____________________________________________________________The Endurance Club ZA is proudly supported by Carbon Endurance Learn about what Carbon Endurance has to offer, and shop nutrition on https://www.carbonendurance.co/Follow Carbon Endurance on Instagram - @carbon_endurance____________________________________________________________Follow us on Instagram - @endurance_clubza____________________________________________________________Follow Rasmus on Instagram - @rasmusstriFollow Rasmus on Strava - https://www.strava.com/athletes/41096774?oq=rasmus%20svennÂ
