In this episode of Tri Beginner’s Luck we chat with the CEO of  USA Triathlon, Rocky Harris.  We learn about Rocky’s journey in sports from his passion for sport as an athlete and business person to his focus on ensuring sport has a positive impact on society.

We learn how a tragic infection forces him to make a decision about his health and his future in sport.
