Tommy Struzzieri: Building the Big Apple Triathlon

In this episode, I sit down with Tommy Struzzieri, runner, triathlete, race director, and the driving force behind AlphaWin and the new Big Apple Triathlon. Tommy grew up around endurance events, walked onto the Syracuse running team through pure persistence, and is now taking on one of the biggest challenges in the event world: producing a triathlon in New York City.

We talk about staying focused when people doubt you, creating opportunities for first-time athletes, and why committing to a goal can change the direction of your life. Tommy’s story is a reminder that sometimes you have to put your blinders on, keep moving forward, and trust the work you’ve put in.
