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!
