Halo ID’s dynamic duo Tim Don and Ian Dempsey are back – and fair to say they’ve got plenty to discuss!

Tim is a triathlon and IRONMAN legend. And alongside Ian Dempsey he’s created Halo ID, a global community for like-minded people with a love for triathlon and endurance sport – all about your next level, whatever that may be.

And both Don and Dempsey were delighted to see Alistair Brownlee return to winning ways on Sunday with a dominant victory at IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea.

“The phoenix rises from the Ashes,” is how Don describes it. “That was a vintage Alistair Brownlee performance.”
