Cameron Dye says goodbye

Matt

Cam retires from Triathlon at age 34 with a heartfelt farewell.

I can't believe he's only 34 and has only been a pro for 12 years!

Best of luck to him going forward.

(Insert my memory of when i saw him at a race and we talked).

Insert joke about how he'll make more in the first 3 months of equity trading than all his previous prize money wins from the past 12 years.

Days! I think you meant days given where Triathalon prize money is currently at V a successful trader.

That was a great article. With the gaping void that is olympic distance non draft he’s been pretty much part-time racing for the last 3 years anyway. He was so damn good at that format, he cleaned up. I wished he would go to 70.3 and take it seriously, just to keep him in the game, but c’est la vie.

I'd love to post a story about Cam that @PevashishDaul could make fun of but I never met the guy.

At the Los Olas triathlon a few years ago, I went to walk into the port-a-pottie before the race and someone had taken a massive dump on the seat, rather than in the hole.

I turned around to find another toilet and Cam Dye was in line behind me. I didn't say anything and let him go into the stall. This is a true story.

What? You want Cam Dye to appear on the Minimal Multisport podcast - to talk about his career, his retirement, and to put the industry on blast for all of their bullshit? I might have made that last part up, but I think the rest will happen if the stars align and my internet doesn't take a crap this week.

Swell, huh?

If your Internet does take a crap, tell it to clean the seat before you let Cam use your shitter

Yes, very much so.

A little birdie told me that this episode may have been recorded today... and that it was pretty awesome. Should be out in 2 weeks! #sworry you'll have to wait a bit. 'Nother big show coming out tomorrow. I need an intern!

Snippety-SNAP! Episode 11 of the Minimal Multisport Podcast with the great Cam Dye has arrived!

https://www.minimalmultisport.com/blog/episode11

Available on all major podcast platforms. Cam was very open, funny, and radically honest about the sport - both the good and the bad. The episode went about 15 minutes longer than normal, but I just didn't want to cut anything else out (trust me, I spent a ton of time chopping it down where I could). I hope you enjoy it!
