Amberger is renowned as the sport’s fastest swimmer, having led the way out of the water at the Ironman World Championship. He’s also renowned as one of the sport’s funniest pros – here’s how we described his post-race comments after his day in Kona last year:

When it comes to post-race reports from those who experienced tough days at the Ironman World Championship, Josh Amberger definitely wins the “most entertaining” award for his race recap. Any report that includes quips like:

“Clavel takes lead. Clavel supertucks. Clavel supertuck pedals. Clavel superwhatthef@#%. You’re going to die, mate.”

and

“Pace hotter than Bob Babbitt’s chair during a 6 hour breakfast sit at Huggo’s” is well worth the read.
