We are so excited to welcome pro long course athlete Danielle Fauteux to the show this week! Danielle recently became a pro at 39 years old, but prior to that she balanced her other hobby of being a plane pilot alongside her career as an architectural designer. In this interview she tells us all about her adventure-filled life, and how all of the passions she has pursued have led her to professional triathlon. Danielle also tells us about how she began her career in elite sport as a semi professional soccer player, as well as doing track and field, and didn't even sign up for an ironman until age 36! She has had numerous top 10 finishes in pro races already and we can't wait to cheer her on in the seasons to come.

After an eventful weekend of racing, Alyssa and Haley got to debrief everything that went on in the triathlon world. After that, we had an exciting interview with Tara Dower and her crew chief, Rascal, who just achieved the overall fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail! Tara and Rascal told us all the details of this incredible endeavor, including how they decide to work together, and all the preparation that went into the attempt itself. We also got to hear about the highs and lows of life on the trail and we are so glad these two took the time to come on the show!

We are back from Nice with a very exciting episode and interview! Haley was lucky enough to be able to interview Fiona Moriarty about her race in Nice just HOURS after the finish. She dove into all the details of her race, from the days leading up to it, all the way til she crossed the finish line. Fiona had a fantastic performance on the day, and we are so glad she gave us the inside scoop on how she did it. We also got to here from Alyssa about her perspective on the ground as a spectator and coach, which was an athletic and tactical endeavor in itself!

We are back from our Olympic break, and excited to pick back up by welcoming Gabrielle Rose to the show!! Gabby is an elite swimmer and Olympian who at 46 years old was the oldest swimmer to qualify and swim at this year's US Olympic Trials. She competed in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, and had amazing performances, advancing to the semifinals in both!
In this episode we got to hear all about what the last two decades of Gabby's life have looked like in and out of the pool. From competing at the Olympic Games in her 20s, to reaching new personal bests in the pool in her 40s, Gabby has some great insight for everyone about what it means to achieve longevity in sport.

This week:
It's our last group ride for two weeks! Kelly and "old Sara" are headed to Paris for daily coverage of the Olympics and we'll be dropping episodes on this feed!
Also, in this episode:
On this final episode before the Paris Olympics begin, we are excited to have Swiss Olympic triathlete, Julie Derron, on the show! Julie will be competing in her first Olympic games this year, but has simultaneously been making a name for herself on the long course scene. She began triathlon at a young age, following in the footsteps of her sisters, who also made it to the professional level. In this interview she tells us all about what that dynamic is like, as well as how it feels to finally have achieved her olympic dream, and so much more.

We are excited to welcome Jackie Hering back to the show this week! Jackie is just coming off of an American full distance record at Ironman Hamburg, and even more impressively, did it nine years after her most recent (and first) full distance race. In this episode she tells us all about how her approach to racing has evolved over the years, and what it’s like to race now, as a mom of two.

“What’s the point of the Olympics, anyway?!” That’s the question Kelly and Sarah look to answer on Episode #2. And how do athletes get to the Olympics. Let's talk all about the Olympic Trials — why is that a uniquely American thing — and the Olympic selection process.
At its core, the Olympic Games were developed to improve international relations and promote unity through sport — except, of course, only among men. In some ways, this global celebration of athleticism has turned into a big business that's about competition, medal count, performances, and money. But in other ways the whole point of a Trials process and expanding the Games to new people and new countries was to create a more universal and diverse event that truly reaches everyone.
Today, Kelly dives into how we've gotten to this point and describes the complicated and confusing Olympic qualification process, including the many ways countries (and even athletes without a country) can get spots to the Games.
Are the Olympics still achieving their initial goal of promoting peace? Do they help or hurt the host city? What's the best (and most fair) way to qualify for the Olympics?
Is one of the goals of the Olympics to inspire future generations of athletes? According to Chat-GPT, it is. According to Kelly, not so much.

This week we have a very special interview with Taylor Knibb!! Our Feisty Community and Engagement Leader, Lynda Rowan, got the chance to talk with Taylor about her approach to fueling, which is very timely given that here at Feisty we have our fueled course on sale again! Taylor talks all about her journey with fueling for sport, and how she approaches food with the knowledge that it is a pivotal part of enabling herself to reach such a high level of racing and training. She had some great insights to share, and we are so glad we can bring this to all of our listeners in this episode.

Welcome to a special Feisty series, “Croissants and Commentary - Moments on the Road to Paris,” hosted by Feisty CEO Sara Gross and Feisty's sports reporter & Head of Content, Kelly O’Mara. Over the next seven weeks, they will be counting down to the Olympic Games in Paris — complete with interviews with athletes, coaches, and experts about everything from peak performance to nutrition to all the issues athletes face on the start line.
Once the Olympics begin, Feisty Media will be live from Paris recording daily podcasts and content with all the behind-the-scenes scoop.
Join us on our Feisty road to the Paris Olympics!
In this first episode, as we prepare for the first-ever gender-equal Olympics, Kelly and Sara wanted to start by talking about the current state of women's sports. They look back at all of the moments and milestones that have made this into a movement — from soccer to tennis, cycling and now basketball, women’s sports are building on top of more media coverage, more infrastructure, and more investment.
Women’s sports are not an “eat your broccoli” situation. These games and races are exciting! (Don't miss out.)
They also speak with Canadian Olympic basketball star, Shay Colley, about what we can do to keep the momentum and enthusiasm going, including investing our time and dollars, watching and supporting women’s sports and our favorite female athletes. That includes at the Olympic send-off game for the Canadian women's basketball team.
More coverage leads to more fans, which yields more sponsorship dollars, better contracts, and more media.
Sara and Kelly also talk with Shay about what will be different in Paris this year, at this inflection point in the women's sports movement. The biggest change from Tokyo? Fans will actually be allowed at the Games, creating even more support and momentum!
Finally, they discuss the flaws in traditional sports models and how women’s sports don't have to look the same as men's. Women are in prime positions to develop new models and alternative approaches to pay, play, and grow.
It’s an exciting time for women’s sports, indeed, so be a part of the many moments that are turning into a MOVEMENT.

We also got to hear about how she balances a full time job with triathlon training, as well as what her hopes are for her future in the sport and if she will pursue more pro racing, or continue at the top of the age group ranks.

We are back with another exciting interview this week, featuring none other than Jasmin Paris, the first woman ever to complete the Barkley Marathons! Jasmin had a historical performance this year and had us all on our toes as she squeezed in just under the time cutoff to cement herself as a competitor for the ages.

This week we are thrilled to welcome pro long course athlete Lotte Wilms to the show! Lotte has been on the rise in the long course ranks in recent years, but prior to that she competed as an Olympic swimmer and then as a short course triathlete chasing more Olympic dreams. She just fell short of that, ending up as the reserve athlete for the Dutch team, and since then, she has been killing it on the long course scene. In this episode we dive into what her journey has been like to reach the level she is at now, as well as her opinion on various topics in triathlon including drafting and race dynamics!

This week we are joined by Jessica Turanec as she tells us the long and beautiful story of what led her to triathlon. This year she will take on her rookie season as a pro long course triathlete, but she hasn't always been an elite athlete.
In this episode we hear all about how Jessica had to distance herself from sports as a child due to severe scoliosis, only to rediscover her athletic identity years later as an adult when she rode against cancer to support her sister. Since then, her love for endurance sports has only grown, and last year she qualified for her pro card in a 70.3. Jessica is also the owner of her own business, and has so much wisdom about life to impart on us all.

The If We Were Riding gang invites a dude onto the show this week!
We're welcomed by Ultraman Florida finisher, Ariel Aponte. From February 9th to 11th, our own Khadijah Diggs was part of Ariel's crew over this grueling three-day race that encompasses a 6.2 mile (10 K) open water swim, a 261.4 mile (421 K) bike ride, and a 52.4 mile (84 K) ultra-marathon run.
Today, we discuss the highs and lows, who yelled at who, and who may have sharted. Most importantly, we discuss Ariel's big "why" to compete when several of his comrades no longer can.
Do the IWWR women see themselves racing or crewing an Ultraman in their future? We shall see!

This week we are thrilled to welcome Lucy Gossage back to the podcast! Lucy is a multi time ironman champion and is an athlete who many of us in this sport look up to. Since stepping away from triathlon a few years ago, however, Lucy has taken on new challenges, like working full time as an oncologist.
Most recently, Lucy raced The Spine race, which is one of England's toughest ultramarathons. In this interview we hear all about her experience preparing for this race, as well as some of her most intense moments during it.

This week we had an exciting interview with pro triathlete Imogen Simmonds, who has had an impressive year on the long course scene. Imogen tells us about the rollercoaster that the past couple of years have been for her with injuries and illness, but above all how she has managed to come out the other side stronger. We got to hear all about how she trains, manages big blocks of racing and traveling, and what exciting things are coming up next for her in the sport!

Anne is a German triathlete who trains in Switzerland, and in this episode she tells us all about her past few seasons and how she has taken a smart and at times conservative training philosophy in order to be successful and stay healthy. She also told us about her training partner Imogen Simmonds and how their strengths balance each other to create a positive training environment and friendship. Anne has placed 10th at 70.3 world champs the past three years, and we can't wait to see how she continues to improve in the years to come!

On Day 3 of our Live Watch the Women broadcasts from Kona, Sara and Kelly welcome USAT CEO, Victoria Brumfield to the podcast to discuss the many opportunities this World Championship awards to women and increasing numbers in the sport at large.
"By creating opportunity, you create demand," says Brumfield, and having over 2000 women race on the Big Island elevates triathlon because it creates more pathways to racing on bigger stages. In addition, it gives female businesses better opportunities to talk directly to their consumers and create more intimate communication.
Today, IRONMAN CEO, Andrew Messick, also shares why they made the decision to split the World Championships into two days and how the sport is rebounding from the pandemic.

We’ve been fed a narrative that you can’t get faster after a certain age. We used to say 40. Definitely not after 50. Could you possibly get faster after 60? This week’s guests say, “Why not?” When it comes to women at midlife and menopause, we’re more active than ever. We also know more, have better coaching, and have more information at our disposal. This week, during a special educational session at the Vinfast Ironman World Championship, we had a panel discussion on all of it with five-time world champion Melanie McQuaid, physical therapist and strength and triathlon coach Dr. Chrissy Davis, and co-founder of FLY Health + Wellness and USAT certified coach Jen Temperley. Together the panel takes on body image, musculoskeletal health and injury prevention, how to adapt through the menopause transition, and training for the long game. Even if you never step foot in the three-sport arena, you’ll get a ton of useful and inspirational information from this incredible conversation.
Melanie McQuaid is a professional triathlete, mountain bike racer, and five-time world champion. She continues to compete at an elite level while focusing her energies on her coaching business, MelRad Coaching. You can check her out there and at melaniemcquaid.com. In 2023, Melanie was 2nd pro female at Ironman Maryland and became the first 50-year-old to podium in the open pro category of an Ironman race and the first ever 50-year-old to qualify for the main pro race with her 3rd place finish at Ironman Coeur d’Alene.
Dr. Chrissy Davis, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS is a coach with MSM + JHC Coaching, a USAT and Ironman University Certified Coach, Certified Running Analyst, as well as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Certified Holistic Health Coach. She is the owner & sports performance physical therapist at Precision Performance Sports in Park Ridge, Illinois.
Jen Temperley is co-founder of FLY Health + Wellness. Along with being a USAT Certified coach, she is a Precision Nutrition Coach and female athlete specialist. She’s been in triathlon since doing Ironkids at the age of 8. Her career includes age group wins at Oceanside 70.3, Wildflower Triathlon, and Escape from Alcatraz, and she’s competed in 7 World Championships including the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.

This week, during a special educational session at the Vinfast IRONMAN World Championship, Feisty Media hosted a panel discussion on the main expo stage on harnessing your female physiology, both physical and psychological.
In addition to understanding your body and seeking professionals who understand female athletes, the panel also discussed the mental aspects of racing as a woman - from battling imposter syndrome to developing a mental race strategy for the best performance on race day.
Hosted by Feisty Media's Selene Yeager, the expert panel included:
Erin Carson:
Erin is a Health and Human Performance Specialist and Owner of ECFIT Performance Strength, NSCA - Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Erin has also been awarded USA Triathlon Strength Coach of the Year.

Sarah True is back on the IronWomen podcast!! Our fellow Feisty podcast host came on the show this week to tell us all about her recent races in Milwaukee and Singapore, as well how she's feeling with Kona coming up. We got to here all about Sarah's recent travel experiences, how she's adapted to race in the heat, and what training has looked like while balancing life as a mom. Sarah has a great perspective on how to find balance as an athlete, and she reflects on how she has learned to compartmentalize over the years to be a bit kinder to herself.

This week, we had the pleasure of interviewing pro long course triathlete Jodie Robertson! Jodie recently took the win at ironman Coeur D'Alene, and will be making another trip to Kona this fall. In this episode, she told us about her recent coaching and mindset shifts that she attributes to her stellar results, as well as how she handles unexpected challenges, like in her recent race at ironman Lake Placid, where she lost her front nutrition on the bike. Finally, Jodie explained her other passion for music, and how he balances life as a triathlete along side a career as a music teacher.

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.

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!!

This week's guest, Lucy Byram, impressed us all this past weekend with her stellar 4th place finish in a stacked field at the PTO US Open! We had the pleasure of interviewing her a few weeks before the race, and she may be just as impressive of a human as she is an athlete.
In the episode, she tells us about her training and coaching set up in leads, as well as the variety of long course races she has taken on this year. At just 24 years of age, Lucy has already qualified for 70.3 worlds! She also has a very wise view on how she balances life with sport, and has even recently stopped on the bike mid race to help a fellow. We can't wait to see what the future holds for her the rest of this season and as her career progresses!!

There have been some seriously professional photos coming from our fellow athletes recently, and it seems as though many them are being credited to The Nordica Photography. We wanted to get to the bottom of this, so this week we welcomed Nettey Nygard - co-founder of The Nordica Photography. Running this company with her partner, Mark Evans, Nettey shares how it all began.
Diving into her own journey to sport and specifically, triathlon, Nettey shares what the photos mean to her and why they offer them up so freely. Further, she touches on the traumatic event at 70.3 World Championships in St.George this fall, where her partner Mark, along with a fellow athlete were hit by an intoxicated driver on the race course.

100-milers and IRONMANs are VERY different. In terms of training, mindset, and distance - these races are nowhere alike. So what would it look like to be an athlete for both? Well, Lucy Bartholomew is. Looking at the 2023 season, it seems like Lucy may race both Kona in October, and UTMB in September. Lucy is an Australian Ultra Trailrunner - Haley and Alyssa welcome her onto the podcast to talk about her recent foray into triathlon and how she manages both this and ultra trail running.
Lucy shares the roadblocks she's faced along her athletic journey, including cancer surgery and coming back from a concussion she sustained while racing the Western States 100. Beginning triathlon with very little prior knowledge, Lucy discusses how she learned along the way, and the support she got from fellow triathletes. Finally, Alyssa and Lucy compare notes on which race is harder.

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming Christine Yu to the podcast! The recent publication of her book "Up to Speed - The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletics" has us very excited about her approach to the science behind many sports science topics, specifically with women in mind.
We got to hear about her insights from her recent attendance to the Female Athlete Conference, where she heard from athletes like Mary Cain about their experiences with doctors and those in the general field of science not having a baseline understanding of women in sport. She also told us about why she thinks scientific literacy is important for society as a whole, as well as the dangers that research bias can pose for women.

We often hear triathlon referred to as a lifelong sport, and this week's guest, Mariana Andrade, is a great example of that. From beginning her journey in the sport as a teenager in Brazil, to then racing professionally in the 2000s, Mariana was a prominent name on the long-course scene. She then decided to step away from the sport in order to focus on her health and grow her coaching business, during which time she dabbled in racing as a pure cyclist. This year she decided to return to ironman racing, and did so with a bang- finishing second in Ironman Florianopolis!
In the interview she told us about her reasons for needing to step away from the sport, as well as her strong love for the competition and community that made her want to return. Mariana is proof that there is no "perfect" path to the top in elite sport, and that progress is not always linear. We can't wait to see what she accomplished on future races, especially when she toes the line in Kona this fall!

After Haley's race in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho this past weekend, she got the chance to record in person with fellow IronWoman, Sharon McNary, who competed in the 65-69 age group. Sharon told us all about her race experience including the 18 hour road trip from LA with her coach. She also tells us about her past races in CDA, and why she chose to come back to this course for her 15th full Ironman.
Haley also talks all about her race on this episode, and how she managed to dig herself out of a dark place mid-run, and rally for a 2nd place finish, securing her Kona slot! As well, our editor, Lydia Russell, joined us for the recording as she was in town to spectate. She shared her perspective on the race as a short course athlete watching an Ironman for the first time, and her hopes to compete at this distance in the future.

This week we had the pleasure of talking with Steph Jagger about the publication of her new book, Everything Left to Remember. In the book she chronicles her time exploring the national parks alongside her mother who had been diagnosed with alzheimer's. Although this book is very different from her first one, Unbound, she told us about the aspects of her life as an athlete that helped her in making the most of her time with her mother.
Steph shares her incredible perspective on the value of slowing down and remembering to appreciate the mundane moments in life. She also explains how she approaches transferring skills from various aspects of her life to others, how she used this time to unpack the emotional side of her childhood athletic experiences, and so much more that we can't wait to share!

Hana Al Nabulsi is aiming to compete in the 2024 Olympics as the first Emirati woman to do so in triathlon. However, this wasn't always something she thought could be possible for her. In this energetic interview Hana tells us all about how she got her start in endurance sports with an ultra running race, all the way until now as she is training under her country's triathlon national governing body.
She particularly emphasizes how she pursues her own dreams, and doesn't let the criticism or nay-saying of others affect her. It is through that mindset that she hopes to inspire other women from the United Arab Emirate to chase big goals in sport and give them a path to follow.

In the past few years what it means to be a collegiate athlete has changed dramatically ever since the NCAA changed it rules regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). Previously, student athletes were not allowed to profit off of their own NIL, but now they are, which has led to a rise of brand deals being promoted on social media and other collaborations of the sort.
Just recently, USAT has announced the creation of the Watch Us Thrive Collective for NCAA women's triathlon. On the podcast this week Grace Norman, who is an ambassador for this program, tells us about what it is, as well as how it helps support the goal triathlon becoming a fully fledged NCAA championship sport.
In our second interview, we hear from Kennedy Calcagno, who just finished her freshman year doing triathlon at TCU. Not only has she had an NIL deal herself, but she also took a business class this year all about NIL. She explains to us how she went about getting a deal, what she had to do, and the various types of opportunities that are available to student athletes.

Many of us know Colleen Quigley as an Olympic steeple chaser for team USA, or maybe from her instagram posts featuring #fastbraidfriday. Recently however, she has decided to step on to the triathlon scene after years spent swimming and biking when sidelined by injuries.
She tells us all about her training, and how much joy she finds out on the bike. As well, she talks about how she goes about honing her weaknesses in the pool. Her first race at Tritonman in San Diego resulted in a win, so we are very excited to see what the future holds for her in this sport!

As athletes, we all know how much work goes in behind the scenes in order to perform come race day. We might not be as familiar, however, with just how much effort is put in to the organization of the events themselves.
After her amazing second place finish, Haley got to interview Loreto Díaz, the race director of Challenge Puerto Varas. They discuss how she got into this work, as well as how she hopes to give back to the Chilean community through the race. Beyond that, Loreto touches on the unique perspective that she brings to race directing as a woman and a mother.
Loreto has big aspirations for her race directing team, and for Puerto Varas as a competition destination, so we can't wait to see how that develops in the future!

100-milers and IRONMANs are VERY different. In terms of training, mindset, and distance - these races are nowhere alike. So what would it look like to be an athlete for both? Well, Lucy Bartholomew is. Looking at the 2023 season, it seems like Lucy may race both Kona in October, and UTMB in September. Lucy is an Australian Ultra Trailrunner - Haley and Alyssa welcome her onto the podcast to talk about her recent foray into triathlon and how she manages both this and ultra trail running.
Lucy shares the roadblocks she's faced along her athletic journey, including cancer surgery and coming back from a concussion she sustained while racing the Western States 100. Beginning triathlon with very little prior knowledge, Lucy discusses how she learned along the way, and the support she got from fellow triathletes. Finally, Alyssa and Lucy compare notes on which race is harder.

What does equity mean in sport? Yes, it's women being included, but it's also resources for racing moms, supporting the inclusion of Black folks in historically white sports, having size-inclusive athletic gear, and SO much more. Feisty Media welcomes a panel of women with intersectional identities to celebrate International Women's Day and discuss why equal opportunity is no longer enough. Hosted by Selene Yeager and Sara Gross, guests Khadijah Diggs, Marley Blonsky, and Alison Tetrick share the inequity they've faced in their athletic spaces, and what equity would truly look like for them individually.

There have been some seriously professional photos coming from our fellow athletes recently, and it seems as though many them are being credited to The Nordica Photography. We wanted to get to the bottom of this, so this week we welcomed Nettey Nygard - co-founder of The Nordica Photography. Running this company with her partner, Mark Evans, Nettey shares how it all began.
Diving into her own journey to sport and specifically, triathlon, Nettey shares what the photos mean to her and why they offer them up so freely. Further, she touches on the traumatic event at 70.3 World Championships in St.George this fall, where her partner Mark, along with a fellow athlete were hit by an intoxicated driver on the race course.

This week on the show Haley and Alyssa sit down with triathlete and Certified Sports Nutritionist Elizabeth Inpyn. She is the founder of INPYN, a nutrition coaching company that provides support for athletes of all levels to reach their athletic and wellness goals. Elizabeth studied chemistry and biology at UC Santa Barbara, where she also swam and played water polo at the collegiate level. After college she was given a bike as a birthday gift, this sparked her interest in triathlon and she has been in love with the sport ever since.
While training with her triathlon club, Elizabeth noticed that there was a lot of misinformation being shared about nutrition that didn’t make sense to her on a scientific level. This prompted her to go back to school and earn her Masters in Health Science and become a certified sports nutritionist through the ISSN. Through her nutritional coaching at INPYN, Elizabeth focuses on creating fueling and nutrition practices that will support health, wellness, and longevity in sport for her athletes. She discusses with Haley and Alyssa the prevalence of disordered eating in athletes, how endurance athletes are particularly susceptible to underfueling, and how this can have a myriad of negative impacts on our overall health. As someone who has suffered herself from periods of disordered eating, she reiterates why it is so important for us to shift the conversation as athletes towards health and performance and away from weight. Elizabeth also addresses some of the fads we are seeing in diet culture and how, as endurance athletes we can work to see past the short term trends and instead build sustainable nutrition habits that will fuel us to perform at our best for years to come.
You can learn more about Elizabeth and her nutritional coaching services at https://www.inpyn.com/

This week on the show, Ironwomen has a VERY special guest. Our very own Alyssa Godesky has just recently attempted the Barkley Marathons, and will be sharing all of the trials and tribulations of this gnarly route.
Barkley is designated as an “Ultramarathon Trail Race” that spans 100 miles and has a time limit of 60 hours. With around 16,500m of vertical climb, it is understandable why not a single runner was able to finish the entire course this year.
Alyssa gives us the run-down of the marathon from start to finish. Beginning with the check-in process, she talks about everything from the “human sacrifice” to why her legs are incredibly itchy.

This week, we bring you the 2022 Women's Ultraman World Champion, Dede Griesbauer. Obviously, Dede is an extremely multifaceted person, as this is her third time on Ironwomen - each episode with a different topic.
Dede shares her journey to Ultraman, and the ways in which the pitfalls along the way actually helped her in the long run. After qualifying for Ultraman in February of 2020, Dede had to wait a very long time to race. Which, in fact, helped her be at her most peak performance for 2022. Dede shares how she trained, who was on her "dream team", and what it felt like to know how fierce her competition was.

With the Ultraman World Championships starting tomorrow in Kona, we wanted to talk to a past champion. That's why this week, Haley and Alyssa chat with Amy Robitaille about her win at the 2022 Ultraman Canada. With a 10km (6.2 mile) swim and 144km (90 mile) bike on the first day, a 276 km (171 mile) bike on the second day, and an 85km (52.4 mile) run on the final day, Amy pushed her body to its limits.
Amy shares her key to winning, which in fact, means slowing down a bit. As Amy says, "you can walk and win". Finally, the duo chat about the upcoming race. While Amy won't be racing herself, she will be cheering her fellow athletes on!

Stories of underfueling, eating disorders and disordered eating as a whole, are not uncommon in endurance sport. In fact, they are quite common, and this week, Haley and Alyssa talk to Eloise du Luart about her journey to triathlon, her experience with disordered eating, and how she found her way out of that.
Haley and Alyssa chat with Eloise about her race season this year, how she feels about her upcoming world championship race, and what she expects from her off-season. Eloise shares how her journey with disordered eating began, and the impact a coach can have on creating a mindset that contributes to underfueling.

Fenella Langridge is an absolute comedian on her social media. Bringing a whole new energy to triathlon, Haley, and Alyssa invite Fenella onto the show to discuss her outlook on the sport - and of course, her recent races.
Coming in 8th at the world championships in St. George, and 2nd at Challenge Roth - Fenella in undeniably making a name for herself in the Pro Women's field. After a DNF at the PTO Canadian Open in July, and unfortunately, another at the recent PTO US Open, Fenella is suspecting long covid as the culprit. We are wishing Fenella a fast recovery and hoping that long covid doesn't last too long, and she can have a great race in Kona.

According to Kate Veronneau, the energy during the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift was "overwhelming and palpable". People lined the streets of France to cheer on the women's peloton racing for the first time in 38 years. This week, Haley and Alyssa welcome Kate Veronneau to discuss all things Tour de France Femmes, and all things Zwift.
Kate is the Director of Women's Strategy at Zwift, and was one of the leading "brains" behind this year's women's peloton. The trio discusses the viewership of the race, and what this means for the future of women's cycling. Further, they unravel what it took to make this race happen, and how they are hoping to change the race over the next 3 years of Zwifts sponsorship.

If you think an Ironman is long...you should try an Ultraman! An Ultraman takes place over three days and consists of 10km of swimming, 421 km of cycling, and 84km of running. That is no joke. This week, Haley and Alyssa talk to Leanda Cave and Jenny Fletcher. Leanda is a "retired" World Triathlon Champion and Ironman champion, with her career spanning over 18 years. Becoming a professional triathlete in 2010, Jenny Fletcher is an acclaimed Ironman winner.
This past month, Leanda raced Ultraman Canada with her close friend, Jenny Fletcher crewing along the way. Haley and Alyssa get the inside scoop of Leanda's race, and what it was like for Jenny to support her friend through such a grueling endeavor.

Haley and Alyssa chat with Chi about all things training, the work-life balance, and of course - Instagram. While juggling triathlons, work, training, a master's degree, relationships, and 130,000 followers, Chi decided she needed to make a change. The trio discusses the pressures we put on ourselves, how we are defined by them, and how we can escape from them.

Not to pick favorites, but here at Feisty - this is definitely a favorite. With almost 50 years of experience as an athletic director and inductions into seven different halls of fame, Joan Cronan has A LOT to say about Title IX and gender equity in sport. Graduating college in 1966, Joan was part of intercollegiate sports before women had the federal right to equally compete. This week, our co-host of Girls Gone Gravel, Kathryn Taylor, interviews Joan and asks her about what she calls "her journey."
Joan shares the story of her life so far, beginning at the age of twelve when she decided she was going to create change for women in athletics. To do so, in 1972 Joan made a cold call to the president of the College of Charleston and left his office as the women's basketball coach, volleyball coach, tennis coach and overall athletic director. From there, she made innumerable changes to women's athletics that will forever go down in history. If that isn't feisty, what is?

Patsy was the co-author of the Title IX legislation and paved the way for women's participation in sports.
Wendy shares her mother's journey and the reasons that prompted her to fight for change. Haley and Wendy discuss what Title IX was created for, and they give us the groundwork for the rest of the series.

We celebrate a lot of wins on this podcast. But this week, we celebrate the wins of our very own - Alyssa and Haley. This past week has been racing central for the duo as Haley raced CLASH Watkins Glenn and Alyssa attempted the FKT of the New Hampshire 4000 footers. As expected, both Haley and Alyssa absolutely crushed their endeavours with Haley coming second at Watkins Glenn, and Alyssa getting that FKT.
The two discuss their races and the trials and tribulations they experienced. From unexpectedly hard climbs to a car falling off of a cliff, they persevered and the outcomes were worth it.

As you may have heard from all of our Life Time ads, the iconic NYC triathlon is coming up! This month, thousands will take to the streets of Manhattan, and the Hudson River, to race in the city that truly never sleeps. To hear more about the course and the culture, Alyssa and Haley welcome Bec Wassner onto the show. Bec has been racing the NYC Tri for 20 years. She was the first New Yorker to win the race, and the first woman to win three races in a row.
Bec describes the NYC Tri as "hilly, challenging, and fair". She gives us the insider's scoop on the swim portion, and how the early morning current works to the advantage of the pros. Alyssa and Haley ask Bec about her race bucket list, and Bec shares what it's like to compete against her twin sister, Laurel Wassner.

As triathlon enthusiasts, we see A LOT of amazing photos of athletes in all stages of their races. But how do these photos get taken? This week, Haley and Alyssa talk to Deborah Castellanos, a sports photographer focusing specifically on our favorite - endurance sports. Deborah most recently photographed the Ironman World Championships in St. George and tells us all about her day in that hot Utah sun.
Alyssa and Haley ask Deborah about her professional career, and how she ended up as an endurance sport photographer. Deborah speaks to both the pros and cons of being a woman in this male-dominated field and how her gender often creates an aspect of comfort in her shoots with other women. The trio delves into the actual logistics of photographing triathlons, and how Deborah is seemingly able to be in hundreds of places at once. We'll give you a hint - it involves an E-bike!

Remember when Alyssa ran the Barkley Marathon? This week, Alyssa and Haley interview the woman who ran the most laps of this year's Barkley, completing what they call the "Fun Run" - 3 laps in less than 40 hours. Jasmin Paris is a fell running champion and ultramarathon runner. Jasmin is best known for her 2019 Spine Race win, during which she pumped breast milk for her daughter while taking intermittent breaks.
Alyssa and Haley ask Jasmin about what pushed her to get into fell running and adventure racing, how the sport has changed with motherhood, and what her future plans are. Jasmin gives us insight into what the Barkley was like for her and how she feels about her accomplishment. Finally, Jasmin shares her favorite European races that she thinks all Americans should try out!

For the first time EVER, Ironwomen welcomes both the athlete AND the coach. To hear more about this unique relationship, Haley and Alyssa welcome both Lydia Dant and her coach, Loren Ward. Lydia is a professional triathlete, with her most recent win being at Ironman Lanzarote. Loren is a professional triathlon coach, sports massage therapist and personal trainer.
Lydia and Loren discuss what it takes to cross that finish line. They delve into the intricacies of triathlon, and what it means to be a part of this solo sport. While triathlon can often feel isolating, Loren encourages all of her athletes to have a shared enthusiasm for supporting one another's journey. Lydia tells Haley and Alyssa about her most recent win in Lanzarote, and how just "enjoying the day" helped her win.

Usually, you just get one interview...but this week? Three! We know that many of you have been following the Unbound Gravel Races that happened in Emporia last week, so this week we were able to grab a couple of interviews from our friends over at Girls Gone Gravel, to air for you! Kathryn Taylor first chats to Heather Jackson who recently raced in the Ironman World Championships, and says that she used the championships for "preparation" for her Unbound race. Kathryn then catches up with Rach McBride, the first non-binary athlete to complete the 200-mile gravel race!
But this is NOT ALL! Haley and Alyssa have an in-depth discussion with Ahalya Lettenberger. Ahalya is a professional swimmer, Tokyo Paralympic silver medalist, and undergraduate student. The trio discusses what it is like to juggle so many things at once, and how Ahalya feels about her journey to where she is today. Ahalya is known for her sprint finishes, and Haley asks her about these moments and the emotions that come along with them.

This is a BIG week for Ironwomen. 1. Haley and Alyssa have the most heartwarming and open conversation with Lauren Parker, and 2. Haley FINALLY gets a quick interview in with Kat Matthews leading up to her Sub8 race happening this weekend. TWO pros, one episode. Get your popcorn folks, it's a goodie.
Lauren Parker is a two-time para-triathlon world champion. She shares how she feels about her race this past month at St. George, which as we have heard from many, was incredibly challenging - and Lauren did it all with her arms. Using a handcycle for the bike, a race chair for the run, and of course, swimming - Lauren shares the highs and lows of this day. Haley and Alyssa also get to ask Lauren about her silver finish at the Tokyo Paratriathlon, in which Lauren was beaten by less than a second in a sprint finish.

Let's be real. Covid sucks! These days, it is not easy to get to the start line 100% healthy. Living within a pandemic is hard, and it can make training and competing that much harder. This week, Haley and Alyssa talk to Sarah Karpinski. Sarah is a professional triathlete (of course!), and someone that Haley and Alyssa would call a "long-timer". Beginning her journey with triathlon in 2012, Sarah has worked her way up to becoming pro as of 2019.
Beginning a professional triathlete career only a year before a global pandemic is definitely unfortunate timing, and Sarah shares with Haley and Alyssa what the pandemic has looked like for her. Recently, Sarah had to pull out of Ironman Texas after getting covid following Oceanside 70.3. Sarah talks about what it has felt like to not be able to train as usual, and what her journey has been to get back to her peak performance.

With the shifts that came with a global pandemic, we’ve noticed that many athletes have been changing their sport. Ashleigh Gentle is one of those athletes. This week Haley and Alyssa are talking to Ashleigh - an Australian Triathlete that until recently has mostly focused her career on short course Olympic races. Ashleigh competed in both the 2016 and 2021 Olympics, and this year has begun her journey in non-draft middle-distance racing. Of course, making Alyssa and Haley very excited!
The trio dives deep into Ashleigh's current season, including all of the highs and lows. Despite her fiance being detained at the border (and sent back to Australia!), resulting in them not being able to compete at the Couples Triathlon, Ashleigh has had a successful season so far. Competing in CLASH Miami - which she won, Ashleigh then went on to get 4th at the Oceanside 70.3. Talk about starting off strong!

How do we create a culture of camaraderie within Triathlon? Find motivation, while also not aligning our self-worth with our results? This week on the pod, Haley talks with Lotte Miller - Norwegian Triathlon extraordinaire.
Representing Norway in the 2020 summer Olympics, Lotte has been swimming at an elite level since she was 13. Lotte has most recently been recognized for the support she gave fellow competitor, Claire Belanger, at the Tokyo Olympics. In a video that went viral, you can hear Lotte saying, “you are a f***ing fighter!”.
Lotte discusses her perception of camaraderie in sport, and how she finds the motivation that she says she “owes herself”. Further, Haley asks Lotte about Norwegian sports culture and what it means to win.

This week on the show, Haley and Alyssa talk with Samantha Kingsford. Samantha is one of the fastest elites in all of Xterra, winning three majors on the world tour in 2019 - and getting the Xterra Pan American Tour Title. She recently finished fourth in CLASH Miami after participating in the couple's Triathlon.
Samantha talks about her experience starting road racing as an Xterra professional. While Alyssa and Haley make some good arguments - Samantha seems pretty set on off-roading. Further, she discusses what it is like to be a professional athlete in New Zealand during a pandemic and the horrors of a hotel quarantine with only 30-minutes of outdoor time each day.

This week on Ironwomen, Haley and Alyssa chat with Jess Smith. Jess is a professional triathlete, winner of the Amateur 70.3 World Championships, coach, and mother. As Jess describes herself, she is a lifer. She will be that woman you see sprinting across that finish line at 90 years old.
Jess shares just how she got to where she is today - from her first triathlon to her most recent race. She tells us about the importance of role models, and what it means to her to be a role model for others. Haley and Alyssa ask the hard-hitting questions, delving into the experience of pregnancy and motherhood as a professional athlete.

This week on Ironwomen, we discuss the joys of winning and the joy of losing. Haley shares her experience winning the Challenge Puerto Varas race this past weekend, while Mary Cain - our special guest, could barely get her helmet on at the Claremont Triathlon.
Mary Cain is a professional middle-distance runner who got her start in athletics very early on in life. Cain is the youngest person to ever represent the U.S. at the Track and Field World Championship and was deemed the fastest girl of her generation. Trying something new, Cain recently attempted her very first triathlon, and in her words, “did everything wrong”. Coming 23rd, she gives us a debrief on what it is like to try something new and the joy that can come from releasing expectations and just having fun.

This week on the show, Ironwomen has a VERY special guest. Our very own Alyssa Godesky has just recently attempted the Barkley Marathons, and will be sharing all of the trials and tribulations of this gnarly route.
Barkley is designated as an “Ultramarathon Trail Race” that spans 100 miles and has a time limit of 60 hours. With around 16,500m of vertical climb, it is understandable why not a single runner was able to finish the entire course this year.
Alyssa gives us the run-down of the marathon from start to finish. Beginning with the check-in process, she talks about everything from the “human sacrifice” to why her legs are incredibly itchy.

This week on the show Haley & Alyssa are chatting with professional triathlete Rachel Olson. Rachel grew up as a competitive swimmer, but after her collegiate swimming years she transitioned into triathlon. After a breakout season in 2019 as a professional with several top 5 finishes at the 70.3 distance, Rachel battled a knee injury that kept her from training and racing at full capacity for almost two years. But after a successful surgery to repair her knee Rachel is ready to make her 2022 race debut this weekend at the Couples Championship Triathlon in St. Petersburg Florida. This inaugural championship will feature 14 pro triathlete couples, who will be racing for a first place prize of $100k. Each partner will race a super sprint distance consisting of a 400m swim, 10 mile bike and 5km run. Rachel is an organizer of the event, and she gives us the behind the scenes scoop of how it all came together.
The event is sponsored by Waterfall Bank, which has recently formed a professional triathlon team. Rachel and her partner are members of this newly formed team, and she talks about their goal of creating a culture in triathlon that is friendly and welcoming for all.
Rachel and her partner also have a YouTube channel called Chasing Triathlon. She talks about the ins and outs of filming training sessions, editing, and being their own media crew. You can follow their channel on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChasingTriathlon

This week on the show, Haley and Alyssa bring us an interview with Spanish professional triathlete Sara Perez Sala. Sara has been racing on the WTS circuit for almost 10 years, but she burst onto the long course scene last year with her 4th place finish at Challenge Miami, and 2nd place finish at the Challenge Championships in Slovakia.
A life-long athlete, Sara swam for her country as a breaststroker in the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Shortly after, she switched to triathlon and fell in love with the sport. As a professional athlete that also works full time, she talks about how she fits in her training, and why it is important to her to take an off-season break to let her body rest. Sara is an athlete that is not afraid to take on new challenges, and through her career she has also raced cyclocross, BMX, road cycling, and time trials on the bike. Sara also shares why she feels like having non-athletic parents has allowed her to thrive and follow her own path as an athlete, and her favorite things to bake when she is taking a rest day.

On this week’s episode Alyssa & Haley are chatting with Olympic gold medalist Flora Duffy. In the world of triathlon Flora is one that needs little introduction, but her long list of accolades include being a 4-time Olympian, gold medalist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, WCTS World Champion, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, and 6-time Xterra World Champion.
Flora speaks candidly about her experience at the Games, and talks through the weeks, months, and years of preparation that lead her to a gold medal. Hailing from the small island nation of Bermuda, Flora talks about what it was like to feel the weight of her country’s hope for their first ever Olympic gold medal, and how she was able to reframe the feelings of pressure and expectation to those of support and pride. Flora also gives us an insider’s breakdown of the race in Tokyo, from pre race jitters to bike course tactics.
Flora competed in her first Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. After over a decade string for the highest level in the sport, she tells us how she has managed to compete at such a high level for so long, and what she is looking forward to in the next chapter of her career.

This week we are bringing you a special episode - the live launch of Feisty Media’s newest production; the Feisty Women’s Performance Podcast.
We have observed that there is A LOT of B.S. information out there for women coming from the fitness and health industries, which gets even worse as we age. Because of this, we saw the need to bring trusted information to women so we can feel and perform our best.
The launch of the Women's Performance Podcast features host Sara Gross, with three change-makers, movers, and shakers in the women's performance space - Dr. Stacy Sims, Selene Yeager, and Jamila Gale-Agans.
They discuss multiple topics around performance and dive deep in order to provide solid information and access to resources for active women, coaches, parents, race directors, and companies.
They also provided valuable roundtable insight on questions from both Sara and the live audience, including:
This is our time to learn, grow, and thrive. It’s not about standing on a podium (although some of us will); it’s about being able to do the things we love throughout our life.

This week on the IronWomen Podcast, Haley and Alyssa are chatting with Swedish professional triathlete and medical doctor Sara Svensk. Sara raced her first triathlon in 2014, by 2015 she won her age group at the ITU Long course world championship and at the 70.3 distance national championship in Sweden. With her quick rise to the top of the age group ranks, Sara decided to make the jump to professional racing in 2016. Since then, Sara has amassed numerous podium and top ten finishes at both the Ironman and 70.3 distances, including numerous wins in 2019. After this incredible year, Sara was poised to make an even bigger splash in 2020. However, with the disruption of races and facing a global pandemic Sara made the decision to return to practicing medicine full time in 2020 where she felt she was most needed.
Even with the break in racing, Sara knew she would return to taking on the pro ranks. After a bout of COVID-19 and ensuing cardiac complications, Sara’s return to racing was slower than she hoped it would be. But, she made up for lost time at Ironman Cozumel in November of 2021, finishing in 8:22, and setting the women’s fastest known time for an Ironman race. In 2022 Sara has committed to being a full-time athlete and set aside her medical practice for now. She fills us in on her race plans for the year, which include the Ironman World Championships in both St. George and Kona.

This week on the show Haley and Alyssa sit down with triathlete and Certified Sports Nutritionist Elizabeth Inpyn. She is the founder of INPYN, a nutrition coaching company that provides support for athletes of all levels to reach their athletic and wellness goals. Elizabeth studied chemistry and biology at UC Santa Barbara, where she also swam and played water polo at the collegiate level. After college she was given a bike as a birthday gift, this sparked her interest in triathlon and she has been in love with the sport ever since.
While training with her triathlon club, Elizabeth noticed that there was a lot of misinformation being shared about nutrition that didn’t make sense to her on a scientific level. This prompted her to go back to school and earn her Masters in Health Science and become a certified sports nutritionist through the ISSN. Through her nutritional coaching at INPYN, Elizabeth focuses on creating fueling and nutrition practices that will support health, wellness, and longevity in sport for her athletes. She discusses with Haley and Alyssa the prevalence of disordered eating in athletes, how endurance athletes are particularly susceptible to underfueling, and how this can have a myriad of negative impacts on our overall health. As someone who has suffered herself from periods of disordered eating, she reiterates why it is so important for us to shift the conversation as athletes towards health and performance and away from weight. Elizabeth also addresses some of the fads we are seeing in diet culture and how, as endurance athletes we can work to see past the short term trends and instead build sustainable nutrition habits that will fuel us to perform at our best for years to come.
You can learn more about Elizabeth and her nutritional coaching services at https://www.inpyn.com/

On this week’s episode Haley and Alyssa catch up with professional triathlete Manami Iijima. Manami was born in Japan, but has spent most of her life on the island of Guam. After two years without racing, Manami traveled to the US in the fall of 2021 to race 70.3 Oceanside and 70.3 Indian Wells, finishing 8th and 15th respectively. In between the two races Manami had to make the long trip back to Guam, but for a worthy reason; to attend a ceremony that granted her naturalized citizenship in Guam. Manami is hoping to be the first person ever to represent Guam in triathlon at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, and becoming a citizen was one of the first steps in this process. This year she also plans to compete on the Continental Cup and WTS circuits to earn points toward her Olympic qualification.
A veteran of the 70.3 distance, Manami talks about how her training is adapting toward getting ready to take on short course racing. She tells us what she likes about the short course format, but also that she does have her sights set on 140.6 some day as well. She loves racing all distances and is encouraging more women to do the same.
Follow Manami on Instagram @manamitris and you can also find the link to her Strava profile in her bio.

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley are chatting with adventurer and multi record-breaking athlete Quinn Brett. Quinn grew up as a competitive swimmer, and she dabbled in road triathlon before finding her love for outdoor adventures sports like mountain running, climbing and off-road triathlon. In 2017 while climbing El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, Quinn fell over 100 feet and suffered a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She talks about how this life-changing injury has impacted the ways in which she is able to recreate in the outdoors, and how it has inspired her to advocate for people with disabilities to have better access to public lands. Quinn works for the National Parks Service, and after her injury she became the organizations first ever Wilderness Accessibility Coordinator. She describes her role, and talks about what we all can do to ensure both access and sustainability of public lands remains a priority for many years to come.
As an athlete and lover of outdoor adventure, Quinn has taken up hand cycling since her injury, and enjoys getting out on the trails in her home state of Colorado. In the summer of 2021 she became the first documented hand cyclist to complete the Tour Divide, a 30,000 mile ride that follows the Continental Divide through the US from the Canadian border in the north, all the way to the Mexican border in the south. She completed the route in an impressive 25 days, and she tells us about all that went into the planning and preparation to make the trip happen, including some impressive at-home research & development to build the perfect hand cycle to take her over the grueling route.

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley chat with rookie professional triathlete Clarice Lorenzini. Clarice qualified for her pro card at Ironman Florida in 2020 and raced her first race as a professional at Ironman Tulsa this spring.

Clarice identifies as Filipino-American, and is just the second ever female professional that is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI). She speaks about how her upbringing influenced her training and pursuit of professional triathlon, and tells us why it is important to her to use her platform to be a role model for young girls in the AIPI community. Clarice also gives suggestions on how we can be better allies to support the AAPI community, both in sport and in our broader communities.
Clarice lives in Virginia Beach, and will be racing Rev 3 Williamsburg this coming weekend. She gives us her local scoop on not just the race course, but also her favorite spots to visit, shop, and grab a sandwich in Williamsburg.

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley are chatting with newly minted professional triathlete, and PhD student Rachel Zilinskas. After a super successful start to the year in the age group ranks including age group wins at Ironman Lake Placid and Ironman 70.3 World Championships, Rachel decided to make the jump up to the professional ranks. She recently made her professional debut at Ironman Florida, finishing in an impressive 8th place on a very tough day.
With her success in the age group ranks, Rachel had earned a spot to compete at the 2021 Ironman World Championships. With the postponement of the event, Rachel made the decision to forego competing as an age group athlete at the World Championships so that she could pursue her professional career. She talks through that decision, and why it was important for her as an athlete to take her pro card and find new challenges.
Rachel had an impressive career as an elite swimmer in high school and college, until a shoulder injury sidelined her in her junior year. She reflects on how she handled that injury as a young college athlete, and what she has learned from going through the lows of recovery that she now has brought into her triathlon career.

On this week’s episode Haley & Alyssa welcome back Australian pro triathlete Grace Thek, who recently finished 5th at the 2021 Indian Wells Ironman 70.3. We last heard from Grace back in February of 2018 as a newly minted pro. Since then she has had several wins and podium finishes at the 70.3 distance. In 2021 Grace decided to transition to a full time professional athlete, leaving behind her job as a physical therapist in Australia to focus on training, racing, and recovery. She talks about why this was the right decision for her at this point in her career, and what has changed in her day-to-day life since switching to a full time athlete.
As an international athlete Grace has travelled all over the globe to train and race. She talks about the ups and downs of this on the go lifestyle, especially during the last 18 months.

Lucy had an incredibly busy race schedule in 2021, competing across many distances and disciplines from Olympic Trials in swimming, to Ironman and sprint distance triathlons, and even a local 10k. She explains how she approaches each race with the mindset that embraces learning from new experiences, and hopes that by jumping into new things it will help to make her a better triathlete.
Lucy recently competed in the World Triathlon Championship sprint race in Abu Dhabi, finishing a very impressive 12th amongst a stacked field of short course superstars.

This week on the show Haley and Alyssa welcome back professional triathlete and NCAA triathlon coach Kinsey Lane. Kinsey is the Head Coach of the women’s triathlon team at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO. The last time we heard from Kinsey was in January 2020 and she was just getting geared up for her own 2020 race season. While the pandemic put a halt on her own racing aspirations, she used the opportunity to dive head first into her head coach role at Colorado Mesa. She talks about this pivot from professional athlete to coach, and what she loves about coaching athletes at the collegiate level.
Kinsey and her team are heading to Arizona this weekend for the NCAA Collegiate National Championships. She breaks down the NCAA qualification process, and gives us a behind the scenes look at what sort of training and racing strategy she uses with her athletes.

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley are chatting with rookie pro triathlete Tara Grosvner. Tara made the leap up to the pro ranks in 2019 after quickly progressing through the age group field in the seasons prior. She talks about her decision to get her pro card, and how different it is racing as an elite. Tara has had a busy season of racing in 2021, including four top 10 finishes at the Ironman and 70.3 distances, and a Kona qualification slot at Ironman Tulsa.
Tara didn’t grow up as an athlete, she found sport later in life after her boss suggested she should seek out a healthier lifestyle. This started with a goal to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, training with a local climbing group in London on the weekends, and has now evolved to her becoming a full-time professional athlete. Tara talks through the evolution of her athletic career, and explains how things have changed for her since becoming a full time athlete and hiring a coach this summer.

This week on the podcast Haley and Alyssa chat with professional triathlete and lawyer Tamara Jewett. Tamara is fresh off a win at Timberman 70.3 where she posted a blistering 1:14 half marathon to run her way onto the top step of the podium. After bursting onto the 70.3 pro scene in 2019, Tamara was poised to have an all star season in 2020, but she tells us how she made the most of the year off 70.3 racing and still managed to squeeze in some events close to home in Canada.

She speaks openly about her struggles with chronic injuries and an eating disorder during her years on the track, and gives advice for coaches that may have athletes facing the same challenges.

This week on the IronWomen podcast Haley & Alyssa are joined by Paralympic cyclist Jamie Whitmore just days before she sets off for Tokyo. With so many changes to the paracycling schedule in 2020, Jamie was selected as an alternate for the US Paralympic Cycling team but was not able to secure a spot for The Games until just a couple of weeks ago. She talks about how she was able to stay motivated to train for an event that she wasn’t even sure she would compete at, and also breaks down the Paralympic qualification process.
Jamie is the defending gold medalist in the women’s Paralympic road cycling, and silver medalist in the 3k pursuit on the track. She tells us what it is like to come into The Games as a defending champion, and how her preparation for this Games has been different than for Rio in 2016. We also get Jamie’s insights on who to watch for as medal contenders in the Paratriathlon events, and hear about some of the other events she is most looking forward to watching.
Jamie is also a mom of 11-year old twin boys, a mountain biker, and had a decorated career as a professional Xterra triathlete. She talks about what it is like to juggle being a single parent and training full time as a professional athlete, and how she keeps her kids active and involved in sport.
And, back by popular demand, is Haley’s Kona workout of the week!

This week on the IronWomen podcast Alyssa and Haley catch up with retired pro triathlete and Olympian Sarah Haskins. The three break down the results of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Triathlon races, and Sarah reminisces about the first mixed relay she did when it was introduced back in 2009. With over 50 career wins as a professional triathlete, Sarah is one of the most decorated short course professionals from the US. She talks about the pressures that athletes face, especially at an Olympic Games, and how we can shift our mindset to see success outside of just winning a gold medal.
Sarah had a prolific career as a short course racer in the US on the LifeTime circuit and other national race series. She talks about her decision to stick closer to home to race these draft legal events, especially after having children, and how she was able to carve her own path to success outside of the traditional ITU schedule.

This week on the show Haley and Alyssa chat with professional triathlete Brandi Swicegood. In 2018, Brandi left a 20-year career as a journalist to chase her dream of becoming a professional triathlete and set an example for her daughter. Brandi opens up about the financial and emotional stress of walking away from an established career and redefining her role as a mother and athlete. She qualified for her pro card in late 2019, and raced her first event as a pro at Ironman Cozumel at the end of that year. Like all of us, Brandi’s 2020 race plans were derailed. She talks about how the pandemic affected the start of her pro career, and the challenges of being a parent and training full time during the last 18 months.
This year, Brandi took to the trails and started racing Xterra off road triathlons. She tells us about how a date with her now husband got her started in mountain biking, and what she loves about the off-road format. Brandi also gives us some journalist’s insight on how to tell a good story to promote yourself as an athlete.

This week on the IronWomen podcast Haley and Alyssa are chatting with rookie pro triathlete Mollie Hedba. In her first season of professional racing Mollie has jumped in with both feet, racing back-to-back weekends in her first two pro races ever. She finished an impressive 11th at Texas 70.3 and 4th at Florida 70.3 just one week later.
Mollie is a graduate of the US Naval Academy, and she and Alyssa reminisce about how their experiences there led them on the path to professional triathlon. Mollie was a collegiate runner, and discovered triathlon in her college years as a way to cross train for running. But she tells about the community of triathletes she met in her post-college years while stationed in Japan as a Marine, and how this inspired her to pursue triathlon professionally. Mollie recently transitioned out of being a full-time Marine to focus on training and racing full time, and we hear about her plans for the rest of the 2021 race season.

First up on this week’s show Haley has a quick catchup with America pro triathlete Taylor Knibb, who is fresh off a win at WTS Yokohama this past weekend. Taylor’s victory there earned her a spot on the US Olympic Team and a ticket to compete in the Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer. At age 23, Taylor is the youngest person to earn a spot on the US Olympic Triathlon squad. But with nearly a decade of racing under her belt, she is well-positioned to make a big splash at the Games this summer.
Next on the docket, Alyssa and Haley catch up with retired pro triathlete Jessica Jones Lasley from her home in Tulsa, OK for her inside scoop on the upcoming Ironman happening there this coming weekend (May 23). Although a recent bike crash has unfortunately taken Jess out of the race, she gives us a total run-through of what athletes can expect from this brand new Ironman course, as well as her picks for the pro podium.
Jess is a 3-time Ironman 70.3 champion, combat veteran of the US Army, and mom of three. She tells us about her unique path into the sport, and how serving in the Army prepared her for a career as a triathlete. In 2006 Jess returned to racing after giving birth to twins, as one of very few female pros to do so at the time, she reflects on how the sport has changed since then to welcome and encourage women to return to competitive racing after becoming mothers, and hopes that her example helped to blaze a trail for others.

On this week’s episode Alyssa and Haley chat with professional triathlete Lisa Becharas to hear about her 8th place finish at Ironman 70.3 Texas this past weekend. This was the first Ironman event in 2021, and Lisa tells us about what it was like to race there during pandemic restrictions.
Lisa raced her first triathlon as a professional in 2018, but before pursuing triathlon she was a collegiate runner and went on to coach collegiate track and cross country. She tells us about her decision to transition into triathlon and pursue her elite license, as well as the unique experience she had in her first year as a pro working at race expos and living the #vanlife.
A calf injury early in her pro career kept Lisa from running for most of the 2019 season, but she explains how she was still able to enter races and make the most of a less than ideal situation by seeing each race as an opportunity to learn from the moment.

This week on the show Haley & Alyssa treat us to two awesome interviews!
First up is a mini interview with professional triathlete Beth Potter. Beth is a former Olympic level track athlete from the UK. She transitioned to triathlon in 2017 and has spent the last couple of years focussing on her swim and bike, which has paid dividends for her in triathlon as she took home a World Cup win in Valencia last year, and recently won the Super League Arena games in London. But, her triathlon success certainly hasn’t slowed down her running; this past weekend Beth ran a record-breaking 14:41 at the Podium 5k in Barrowford. She gives us a breakdown of the race, and talks about how triathlon and cross training has helped her stay injury free to put in consistent training.
In our feature interview, Haley & Alyssa catch up with Emily Ford from Duluth, MN. This winter Emily completed a through hike of the Ice Age Trail, a 1200 mile trail that winds through rural Wisconsin. Emily is the first female and second person EVER to complete a winter through hike of the Ice Age Trail. She tells us about the gear she brought along, where she camped, the challenges of winter through hiking, and her bond with her borrowed pup Diggins. Emily also speaks about being a person of colour and representing the LGBTQ+ community in the outdoor space, and gives us her tips on how all folks can get more involved in enjoying the outdoors.

This week on the IronWomen podcast Alyssa and Haley catch up with feisty legend Selene Yeager. Selene is a former professional cyclist, author, and accomplished journalist. In 2017, Selene co-authored the book ROAR with Dr. Stacy Sims which featured a chapter dedicated to menopause. Selene explains how the release of this one chapter exposed a massive hole in credible information for female athletes seeking to maintain a high level of performance during their menopausal years. Fast forward to 2020, she began a second book with Dr. Sims dedicated entirely to menopausal athletes, and joined forces with Live Feisty to launch the Hit Play Not Pause podcast to bring more information to female athletes who are training hard into their 40s, 50s and beyond.
An accomplished endurance athlete herself, Selene started out in triathlon qualifying for Kona at her very first Ironman in Louisville and racing at the world championships just six weeks later. She had a successful professional mountain biking career that is highlighted by wins across the globe, and used her love of cycling to transition from a medical writer to a sports writer, regularly contributing to Bicycling Magazine, Shape, Women’s Health, and many others. Selene tells us why it’s important to put yourself out there to make connections and make things happen for yourself, and talks about the benefits of growing older and wiser and stepping into her true powerful self.
