Former German professional triathlon couple Lothar and Nicole Leder are the stars of episode 5 of Inside Tri Show’s Road to Roth series with lifejacketskin.com. Lothar was the first person to go sub 8 hours for the iron distance, a feat he accomplished in 1996. In 2003 it was a double win in the Leder household, while Lothar beat Chris McCormack by 3 seconds for victory, Nicole won the women's race too. The pair have six Roth titles between them and they truly know what it means to win there. They understand the pressure, joy and kudos that comes with competing and racing at Roth for German professionals.

In Episode 1 of Inside Tri Show’s Road to Roth series with lifejacketskin.com, we speak to Race Director Felix Walchshöfer, about what makes Challenge Roth one of the biggest, most popular and well-supported triathlons in the World. Roth has been part of Felix's life since he was first a volunteer at the age of 4. His late father Herbert was brave enough to say 'No' to Ironman’s demands and remain independent and helped to grow Challenge Roth into what it is today. His Mum Alice and sister Catherine are still very much part of the organising team. You always hear what a nice guy Felix is, and when you listen to this interview, you'll understand why.

And why Chrissie took so much from being part of a team to help Sam Perkins cross the finish line in a marathon. 43:00 The bigger picture of being able to inspire others through sport. 'We can each pay it forward and that's the beauty to me of sport, much less about your own achievement.
