Episode #33 - Rob Balucas - Para-triathlete

Rob Balucas is an elite para-triathlete who has qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona in the fall of 2022. He plans to compete in his first full-length at the Ironman California this October in Sacramento. Rob was born in Fresno, California, but raised in Seattle, Washington. He earned his black belt in karate at the age of 14. He attended Pepperdine University and currently owns a creative boutique agency. In his early 30’s he began training for triathlons in the bay area. One afternoon while training, he crashed cycling on a notorious curve and broke his spinal cord. He quickly figured out how to continue his love for triathlons as a paraplegic.
