Show notes

On this week's episode we have a special intro guest, Sara Gross! She came on to tell us about Feisty Media's work with Kona this year, and their Watch the Women campaign. Sara is working to produce various podcasts and events surrounding women's Kona this year, which we are so excited about, and you can learn more at https://www.feistytriathlon.com/watch-the-women.

Next, for our main interview, we got to speak to pro Chilean triathlete, Barbara Riveros. Barbara told us all about her recent racing successes, including ironman Israel, where she secured her Kona slot!! As well, she walked us through what her current training set up is like in St. Moritz, and how she balances hard training with recovering from injuries. Barbara has an extensive background in the sport having previously worked her way through the ITU ranks, so there is a lot to be learned from her.

Show notes

Lauren Brandon is a pro long course triathlete currently based in Park City Colorado. She recently had an impressive performance at the PTO US Open, with a dominant swim leg! This is currently her thirteenth season racing professionally, so she certainly has some great perspective on the sport.

In our conversation with her, she told us all about her training and racing this season, including what it was like for her to do a "shorter" race in Milwaukee as a primarily ironman distance racer. Beyond that, we got to here about how she preps for hot races like Kona while living in an often snowy area, and so much more about how she races and trains!!
