From his early days as a young athlete in Germany to conquering Kona in the heat of Hawaii, Faris reflects on the highs, lows, and defining moments of his journey. We talk about what it took to win on triathlon's biggest stage, his years as a consistent world-class performer, and how he transitioned into coaching and shaping the next generation of athletes.
