Intrinsic-sponsored GBR triathlete Matthew Cox reflects on his close fought battle for bronze at the 2022 World Triathlon Long Distance Championships in Samŏrín, Slovakia this summer. Competing in the 35-39 Male Age Group, he completed the course in 03:49:44, barely 27 seconds behind the silver medallist.
