003: My Story

Tales of Toughness

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!
