Long-distance triathlon is not just about strong legs and lungs; it is about how far your mind will let you go. In this episode, you will hear a legendary iron-distance racer share how influence, mindset, and a tiny bit of crazy shaped her life on and off the course. From freezing days in Challenge Roth to stacking 50 full-distance races, she explains why age groupers might actually be the real superheroes of the sport. You will hear how mentors, coaches, and partners redirected her entire career and why being open to influence is her secret weapon. We also explore her second life in triathlon as a commentator, pro liaison, and mentor to the next generation. If you care about high performance, resiliency, and what it really takes to show up year after year, this conversation is for you.
