Episode 3: My Story
So you might wonder what the heck is this mom of a teenage daughter doing in Ironman and The World’s Toughest Challenge?
Nope! I’m not a superhero.
Really, I’m just a mom who’s passionate about building on my skills and experiences. And joining these amazing marathons, triathlons, and adventure races are what lights up my fire!
So today, I want you guys to get to know me better (shit and all – like literally!)
Meet my best friend, Prianka Nandy, who will interview me today. I wanted to share more about myself so people could understand the context that I bring to my interviews.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Shitting in my pants at the Kona Ironman World Championships 
- The Health First approach 
- How your journey and your goal are married to each other 
- How to manage your stress bucket as an athlete 
- My first triathlon experience and how I’ve built on my experiences 
- Lessons from my adventure racing experience 
- The difference between adventure racing and Ironman 
- What it was like to be our team’s navigator on the World’s Toughest Challenge 
Join the adventure!
