This week, we have some news: This will be the last Feisty Tri episode for awhile and the last one from Kelly, Katie, and Joanne.
To mark the occasion, the hosts all pick what they're most looking forward to this season and then catch up on the news: Paula Findlay's dominating debut at Ironman Lake Placid, the latest Kona qualification updates, and what it means to be two years out from the L.A. Games.
And then we hear from Catherine Breed, who is now in the middle of a four-month swim along the entire California coast. We talked with her back before she headed out on the boat, and she answers all of our logistical questions — plus offers some long-distance swimming advice for triathletes.
You can follow along with Catherine's swim on Allez! Sports.

The last time Kelly caught up with world championship podium-finisher Heather Jackson was in the hotel just past the finish line of Kona three years ago. What has she been up to since? Becoming a professional gravel racer and ultra-runner!
Today we catch up with the fan favorite, Heather Jackson, before she heads out on her big Tour Divide bike ride from Canada to Mexico. But first, Joanne and Kelly catch up on the news from the last two weeks: What's to be done about all these heat cancellations.
Then, Heather tells us:
- How she ended up with a second pro athlete career
- What her training looks like now with just biking and running
- The hardest parts of gravel racing and ultra-trail running
- Can she survive this mega-summer schedule?!
Follow along with Heather's Tour Divide FKT attempt.

This week we're replaying an episode with Feisty's resident sports psychologist Dr. Erin Ayala, who joins the pod to answer all of our questions about mental performance, mental training, and tips for dealing with the mental stress of the world right now.
First, the team tackles the latest news and the question: How do we keep the booming 20- to 29-year-old age group in the sport?
Then:
- What mental skills you can practice on the treadmill or trainer
- Why a race isn't a test — and staying curious will actually help you perform better
- Ditching the comparison game
- And is the correlation between mental health issues and endurance sports a coincidence?
Dr. Ayala is also the host of the re-launched Feisty Women's Performance podcast, where she talks to experts each week on health and performance questions about women and for women.

To continue our theme of giving you coaching advice for your own racing, we sit down with renowned strength and mobility coach Erin Carson to talk about how strength training and mobility should support your triathlon performance, not hurt it!
And first she helps us dissect the news around heat race cancellations, why she loved being on the ground at Ironman Texas, and her predictions for Challenge Roth.
Erin shares:
- How she got started working with endurance athletes,
- The importance of sports-specific strength training and mobility
- Why you should periodize your strength work, too, and how to balance it with the rest of your training
- Practical exercises for triathletes: deadlifts, goblet squats, and upper back mobility drills
- The most common mobility and strength issues triathletes deal with — and how everything can get locked up from all that biking
Check out Erin's Monday Mobility on Youtube.

First, Joanne and Kelly recap this week's races — including a voicemail from Lydia Russell after her podium finish at the N. American 70.3 champs in Happy Valley. And then we hear from the young Daisy Davies after her Ironman S. Africa win earlier year. Daisy's only done two full-distance races and won both of them. What else can we expect from her?
- Why she moved from the short-course British system into long-course — and what she prefers about racing on her own
- How she's already been racing triathlon for a decade, even though she's only 24!
- Being on the Bianchi Pro Triathlon Team and having support behind her
- And what her training looks like right now (volume!) as she gets ready for Challenge Roth and then Kona
What out for the next British star!

Two-time Ironman champ and current Feisty CEO Sara Gross joins the squad this week to talk about the epic results and how she's now trying new things at gymnastics and CrossFit.
And she wants to know: Is it normal for the pro women to all run sub-three-hour Ironman marathons now? What has led us to this point of massive speed and depth in the women's field?
- The epic race in Ironman Hamburg: Solveig Lovseth has now won four Ironmans in 11 months!
- Dumb comments about weight and performance, and why we're happy the pros are moving away from under-fueling
- The sabotage on the Hamburg bike course and if we need to get local communities more invested
- How many sprint triathlons could you do in a weekend?
- And what's changed in the triathlon landscape in Sara's career — has the sport gotten better or worse...
Plus, don't forget to join us for FeistyFest — try something new (not gymnastics, maybe handstands) or learn more about what you already love!
And submit your training and racing questions for our upcoming Coaches Corner episode.

In this bonus episode, Selene welcomes longtime friend, cyclist, and women’s sports powerhouse Kate Veronneau to the show for a preview of the first-ever FeistyFest in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.
For Kate, the location is personal. The Valley Preferred Cycling Center is where she first fell in love with bike racing, found her cycling community, and eventually launched a career in the sport. She shares how a casual Friday night trip to watch track racing turned into an entry-level “try the track” class, a relocation to the Lehigh Valley, and years immersed in one of the most magical cycling communities around.
Selene and Kate talk about what makes the Lehigh Valley so special: quiet roads, covered bridges, gravel before gravel was “gravel,” beautiful trails, and a deep community of people who love to ride, run, explore, and support one another.
They also dig into what attendees can expect at FeistyFest: track riding, gravel, trail running, lifting, swimming, pickleball, community, laughter, and the kind of grown-up summer camp energy that reminds women how good it feels to try new things.
Kate also shares why women-only spaces can be so powerful, especially when women feel safe, supported, and encouraged to step outside their comfort zones. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or brand new to an activity, there is something magical that happens when women come together, lift each other up, and give each other permission to live a little bigger.

With all the pro athletes busy at races (!), Kelly, Joanne, and Katie dive into the latest results and dissect the drama of the week. Then it's time for a speed round: watch or no watch in the pool, socks or no socks in transition, mass start or time trial?
They cover:
- Mud and triathletes at Unbound — and if they'd do it
- What exactly happened at the WTCS Alghero finish line, and Katie gives us her real life insight into how she'd handle the situation
- IM Hamburg and Alcatraz this week (and the Alcatraz lawsuit)
- And then it's time for rapid fire speed round of hot topic, gear picks, and their favorite pieces of advice

Fresh off her wins at Gulf Coast 70.3 and Chattanooga 70.3 — just one week apart! — Grace Alexander joins the show to tell us how she went from a 1:59 half-marathon to being a professional triathlete.
But first, the news of the week: a hot day at T100 Spain (Are the dramatic finish line collapses over-dramatic? The squad says no.), Lucy Charles-Barclay is back, and could we see the first sub-8 at Ironman Hamburg?
And then Grace shares:
- The effect the new 20-meter draft rule has had in her races so far
- Why her post-college triathlon journey started with Orangetheory Fitness classes
- Being the first woman to ever win an age-group 70.3 outright, and the steady progress she's made over the years
- The most common questions (and mistakes) from the athletes she coaches
Plus, she breaks down what a pro triathlete's week really looks like and how much volume she actually does.

Joanne is back! And tells us her favorite place to train in the whole world...

- How to learn to swim as an adult
- What gear is optional and what is absolutely necessary
- Advice for your first race
Then Joanne & Katie share their best advice and their triathlon origin stories.

This week the Feisty team is joined by the 2026 USAT Collegiate Club national champions Kasey Madsen and Maya Reilly — who each won the non-drafting Olympic distance and the draft-legal sprint distance, respectively.
As they celebrate graduation this weekend, they also tell us all about college clubs and what got them into triathlon.
- Why club nationals is the best race ever
- How the college club scene varies dramatically from school to school
- What got them into triathlon at a young age
- And their big tri plans from here
Plus, we ask them the $1 million question: How do we get and keep more young people in the sport?

- Balancing draft-legal race — and the constant points chase! — with trying to get a T100 ranking and wildcard
- Coming back from labrum surgery even when she thought her career might be over

Fresh off a dominant stretch of early season racing—including wins at Oceanside 70.3 and the T100 Gold Coast, plus a runner-up record-setting finish at Ironman Texas—Taylor Knibb joins the Feisty crew to catch her breath and share what's ahead and how she's having fun. (And, no surprise, it's a lot.)
She dives into:
- Her race at Ironman Texas and why her mentality was different
- Running a breakthrough 2:54 Ironman marathon
- How she balances power data vs. rate of perceived effort (RPE)
- What training looks like when she's racing WTCS, 70.3, and Ironman—all at once
- The seven race metrics she has on her bike computer
- Why she'd make a great triathlon referee
- What she’s targeting next (World Triathlon points ahead of LA28?) as she builds toward Kona
Taylor Knibb is one of the most versatile, talented, and curious athletes in triathlon—and she brings that curiosity and knowledge to today's episode with lessons we all could learn.

This week 3x para-tri world champ, 3x Paralympian, and Guinness world record holder Melissa Stockwell comes on the show to give us all a pep talk — and makes us feel like we could fit more into our days!
Melissa has been busy since she announced her official retirement, but she also looks back and shares her story with us:
- How gratitude and optimism got her from waking up in a Baghdad Army hospital to medaling in the Paralympics
- What the hardest (and easiest) parts are of getting started in para-tri
- The epic iconic moment when the U.S. swept the podium in the first-ever Paralympic triathlon
- Why she still found so much joy in 5th place in Tokyo & in Paris
- And how we all have the power of choice
If this episode doesn't get you motivated, just listen again!
Hi if you haven't edited the feisty tri episode yet, do you mind adding this to the bottom of the shownotes?
Augo is running a survey about why triathletes (and runners and cyclists) choose to work with a coach or not, and what some of your pain points are. This women-led company launched their new platform last month, which sits on top of your data and coaching apps and brings out the important pieces. They're offering a $200 On giftcard giveaway for athletes who take the survey.

Super runner Tamara Jewett joins the show this week to update us on her new life in California (and the shark-related messages she sends Kelly). And then she dives into the latest triathlon debates: Why she's not concerned about gate-keeping professional triathlon and if you've qualified for a pro license then you deserve to be there as much as anyone.
She talks to us about:
- Why the body image expectations in running were so unhealthy
- What she likes about Ironman distance triathlon — even if it is boring
- And how she's tried to understand (but can't!) the concept of proportionality
Plus, what races she's got planned, how the start of her season in New Zealand went, and any tips for the wildly packed start list at Ironman Texas.

This week, Feisty editor Carrie steps in to host the podcast while our fearless leader Kelly is away.
Katie recaps a jam-packed weekend of racing in Gulfport, Mississippi - sharing her athletes’ results along with her own coaching takeaways from both the America’s Cup and the Collegiate Club Championships.
We’re also joined by Natasha Van Der Merwe, founder and CEO of NVDM Coaching, who brings her expert perspective to the mic. Together, we dive into the latest racing action from Texas 70.3, Oceanside 70.3, and look ahead to Ironman Texas.
From there, we tackle one of the biggest recent controversies in the triathlon world: how many amateurs actually beat professionals in Oceanside. (TL;DR: earning a pro license is far more challenging than it might seem.)
Finally, Natasha breaks down the hype around Hyrox, what Hyrox athletes can learn from triathlon, and why this fast-growing sport may have more in common with our beloved swim-bike-run than you’d expect.

The gang is back together!
Joanne joins us still from S. Africa, after commentating the epic Cape Epic eight-day mountain bike stage race.
Katie is packing up to take her squad to the America's Cup that's totally full (Gwen's racing!) and combined with the U.S. Collegiate Club Nationals. What's the difference between college club and NCAA? Glad you asked.
And Kelly ran the big trail pro race that starts next to her house.
- Are you pro or con racing and training with your husband?
- Was Geelong 70.3 one of the craziest 70.3s ever?
- How did media people go from T100 Gold Coast to Geelong in the same weekend?
- And 70+ people on a start list!

With Joanne out, commentating the epic Cape Epic mountain bike race, the one and only Flora Duffy joins us on the podcast this week.
She gives us her take on the canceled swim at Dallas 70.3 — and, no, we don't have solutions. Plus, what we think about the split women's and men's racing in the T100, with the first women's T100 race of the season this weekend on the Gold Coast. And how she was so confused in one of her first 70.3s that she waited in the massive expo line with the hundreds of age-groupers.
- The World Cup Lanzarote race this past weekend
- Which pro series we prefer
- What race Flora did recently
- How she manifests confidence during races
- And how last year's injury-ridden season was so emotionally draining — and how pros have to deal with the same injury uncertainty circle we all do.
What advice would Flora give her younger self, five Olympics ago...?

Joanne and Katie are out, so we have a special guest this week: the first female Black pro triathlete, Sika Henry, joins Kelly to talk about life, triathlon, and everything.
Why was it so important to her that she spent a decade chasing the goal of becoming a pro? And what happens after you achieve all of your dreams?
Sika and Kelly talk about why diversity isn't just an issue of expense. And, Sika shares all the details about how a bad bike crash changed her image of herself and her life. Plus, how therapy has helped her learn to stop comparing herself now to herself before, and how to find a place for sports in "retirement."

If you tuned in last week, you heard our chat with pro triathlete Lizzie Rayner cut short when anti-doping officials knocked on her door mid-recording.
So this week we’re back for Take Two. Lizziejoins the squad to share all the details of her anti-doping. Then, they dive into the start of the Ironman Pro Series season, and hear about her journey from a teenager inspired by London 2012 to 8th place pro at the 70.3 World Championships.
- Race season is officially here: The team previews Ironman New Zealand, which kicks off the 2026 Ironman Pro Series season. With big names on the start list and Kona qualification on the line, athletes are already stacking early-season points.
- IM Pro Series v. T100: How do athletes decide?
- Going all in on triathlon: While working with a professional cycling team—making bottles, rice cakes, and supporting riders—Lizzie realized she wanted to be the one actually racing.
What's changed this year? Her confidence! Watch out world.

Lizzie Rayner (briefly) joins the podcast — before anti-doping knocks on her door...
We then get nearly all our questions answered about what it's like for the athlete when anti-doping shows up: How long does it take to pee? Do they actually watch you? Do you get to know your testers over tea?
Then we get caught up on Joanne's upcoming South Africa Cape Epic adventure. Katie explains the new Supertri qualifying series and why it's good for the development of draft-legal racers in the U.S. And the new 2026 Ironman rules.
Next week: Lizzie returns to finish her story.

An 11-time Ironman champion and 23-time Ironman 70.3 champ, Meredith Kessler crossed her final pro finish line at Ironman Arizona this past fall.
She reflects back with us on her career and what she hoped her kids learned from her racing. Why did she do all her training inside? What was it like going all-in working four jobs, and deciding to leave corporate America to travel the world as a pro triathlete? And how it was always important to her to balance being a human with being an athlete.
Plus, the top five lessons she learned from Ironman.

Special guest 6x Ironman world champion Mark Allen joins the podcast this week to talk about the women who inspired him through his career and why he wanted to launch the Limitless program to get more women into triathlon
But first, we have to start by debating the latest triathlon news.
- Katie & Mark helped kickoff the LA28 Olympic cycle
- What could make the difference for U.S. triathletes at the Games
- Are we optimistic or skeptical about the PTO acquiring Challenge Family races?
- And how to get more people on triathlon start lines
Then, Mark gives us a full update on the year-long Limitless program — which filled up with 500 women so quickly that they expanded to 1,000. TriDot is providing free coaching, regular calls with female icons to share their insights and tips, and a community for the women in the program. How will we know if it works?

This week, we have a special interview with Iris Nafshi about her PhD study, which analyzed over 300 moms who also compete in Ironman. She wanted to answer the question: Among those who experience high levels of "mom guilt" how do they complete the training anyway? What does it take?
But first, Katie, Kelly, and Joanne discuss the latest triathlon news: the 20-meter draft rule for pros, the new Supertri calendar and format finally announced, and can you guess what secret race Joanne is doing? Send us a voicemail to yourfriends@livefeisty.com or at www.speakpipe.com/feistytriathlon
And then Katie shares some of her insights on what it took to race at the top-level after having her first kid — and how, in some ways, balancing work now with two kids is even more challenging.
What can everyday athletes learn from Dr. Nafshi's research? In her words:
"My research found that athletic identity doesn’t compete with maternal identity, it expands it. So claim the space you need. Pursue something big unapologetically. The mothers who finished Ironman didn’t become less devoted to their kids, they became MORE of themselves. And kids don’t need perfect, self-sacrificing mothers. They need whole, fully-alive mothers who show them what’s possible. Be that mother."
See the full dissertation: "Beyond Grit and Guilt: Uncovering the Psychological Resources Fueling IronMoms in Ironman Training and Racing"

In this special episode, your Feisty Women's Performance podcast host Dr. Erin Ayala brings together a group of experts on mental health to talk about the science and psychology of stress and collective trauma.
Along with being a sports psychologist & therapist in her own right, Erin also lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota — which has been at the center of the news over the last month since it became the target of the largest immigration enforcement action to date in the U.S. Thousands of federal agents have patrolled the streets and detained residents, and, over this past weekend, shot and killed a second bystander — leading to hundreds of thousands of people protesting in Minneapolis and around the country.
In this tense environment, how do we show up as athletes, as members of our community, as our best and healthiest selves?
Join Dr. Tess Kilwein, Dr. Quincy Guinadi, and Christine Bright as they discuss how these experiences shape mental health and performance, and how you can respond to stress and trauma — whether you're going through it right now with the news or you're dealing with your challenges.
Key Takeaways:
• What is collective trauma? Learn how collective trauma impacts communities and individuals, and why this understanding is crucial for athletes and coaches.
• Recognize that intentional rest in times of stress can be essential for long-term sustainability.
• Know that movement and sport can be powerful tools in community healing.
• Get tips on how to navigate the complexities of wanting to help without feeling performative or overwhelmed, and how to effectively engage in difficult conversations without shame or guilt.
Don't be perfect. Be brave.
Guest Introductions:
• Dr. Tess Kilwein: A board-certified clinical, health, and sport psychologist with expertise in mental performance and athlete wellness.
• Dr. Quincy Guinadi: A postdoctoral resident specializing in identity, mental health, and the experiences of marginalized communities.
• Christine Bright: Lead consultant at the Center for Healing and Justice through Sport, focusing on trauma-informed coaching and community support.
Resources Mentioned:
• Center for Healing and Justice through Sport
• Nothing Heals like Sport Playbook
• "What Happened to You" by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah
• Beyond Ally by Dr. Maysa Akbar
• Find ways to help at standwithminnesota.com
This week, Feisty's resident sports psychologist Dr. Erin Ayala joins the pod to answer all of our questions about mental performance, mental training, and tips for dealing with the mental stress of the world right now.
First, the team tackles the latest news and the question: How do we keep the booming 20- to 29-year-old age group in the sport?
Then:
- What mental skills you can practice on the treadmill or trainer
- Why a race isn't a test — and staying curious will actually help you perform better
- Ditching the comparison game
- And is the correlation between mental health issues and endurance sports a coincidence?
Dr. Ayala is also the host of the brand new re-launched Feisty Women's Performance podcast, where she hosts experts each in week to dive deep into health and performance questions from women for women.

Kelly O’Mara and Feisty CEO, Sara Gross, are coming to you straight from USA Triathlon's Endurance Exchange conference in Orlando, where the entire triathlon industry gets together to talk coaching, data, and where the sport is actually headed.
We went for a few reasons:
- to run the first women-focused coaching workshop,
- to launch the FeistyWomen’s Performance podcast,
- to catch up with friends and athletes,
- and to hear what the numbers say about the future of triathlon.
And what we found? A sport in the middle of real change.
Lessons from the Feisty workshop: why coaching women isn’t just about hormones, but about context, communication, and the reality of women’s lives from pregnancy through menopause and beyond.
Then we head poolside to catch up with Taylor Knibb, who casually drops that she plans to race pretty much every distance this year — with Kona in the mix and the Olympics coming fast in L.A. Her coach Dan Lorang was also at Endurance Exchange, where people were (somehow) still telling him he should try heat training.
We also talk with Michelle Lake, coach of 80-year-old Kona finisher Natalie Grabow, about what it really takes to train older athletes — and why gratitude, communication, and consistency beat everything else.
And finally, USA Triathlon CEO Vic Brumfield breaks down the state of the sport:
- Membership is close to pre-COVID numbers, but race starts are down
- Events have stabilized after a big drop
- The 20–29 age group is surging
- But 40–49 participation is declining
Which raises the big question:
If younger athletes are showing up for short-course, one-day experiences, while older athletes used to be the repeat-racing backbone of the sport… how does triathlon evolve?
This episode is part behind-the-scenes, part coaching clinic, and part reality check on where triathlon is heading — Feisty style.

We’re kicking off the year with an absolute powerhouse: Rosie Wild—Major in the British Army, barrier-breaker, and the first woman ever to pass the legendary paratrooper regiment test joins Kelly, Katie, and Joanne for the first episode of 2026.
Rosie takes us inside her world: juggling an elite military career with pro triathlon, navigating brutal training environments, and chasing experiences that push the limits of what’s possible. From battling the elements at Ironman Wales to taking the win at the beautiful-but-brutal Patagonman, Rosie’s story is less about medals and more about grit, purpose, and what keeps you moving forward when everything hurts.
Rosie's rewriting the rules and also reminding us why we love triathlon: discipline, accomplishment, and FUN!
You'll leave inspired for your own challenges and for the triathlon season ahead!

This episode originally dropped on May 23, 2025
Katie, Joanne, and Kelly are back with your front row seat to triathlon — diving into an exciting weekend of global racing, spotlighting Lucy Charles-Barclay’s Ironman Lanzarote win, Jeanne Lehair's victory on a rainy WTCS Yokohama course, and Slovakian Nikola Korbova making history by becoming the first woman to win an Xtri overall!
We then get their views on the growth of the sport and how the U.S. can prepare to take advantage of LA2028 — with Katie Zaferes' inside look at what it was like after medaling in an Olympics.
USA Triathlon CEO Vic Brumfield joins the show in the second half to share her vision for the sport’s future and what USAT's strategic plans are to grow triathlon in the U.S., with a "day in the life" look at her complex role—from grassroots racing to bold moves in marketing, community engagement, support for race directors, and even comments she hears from people at races across the country.
Catch all the action, inspiration, and expert takes on where triathlon is headed—and how you can be part of the movement.

In this episode, Kelly and Joanne catch up on all things triathlon, including an in-depth Ironman Leeds recap, the return of Boise 70.3, new North American race announcements, and Joanne’s hectic announcing schedule for the rest of the year (and you thought racing was hard!)
The heart of the episode is a powerful, in-depth interview with long-time pro, Melanie McQuaid, a multi-time world champion who successfully transitioned from professional mountain biking and Xterra to long course triathlon. Mel opens up about her decades-long career in endurance sports, racing at the elite level in her 50s, and how she’s adapted her training and mindset along the way.
She shares:
- Her early days in mountain biking and the shift to triathlon
- Embracing the challenge and adventure of Xterra off-road racing
- How strength and technical skills play a role in long-term performance
- Balancing recovery, self-care, and competitive drive as we age
- The mental strategies that keep her sharp and focused
- What it means to race Kona at 50—and still chase world titles
- Her advice to women navigating aging, identity, and high performance in sport
It's another jam-packed episode of wisdom and inspiration from one of the all-time greats!

- Congrats to Kirsten Kasper who won her debut 70.3 at La Quinta and to Georgia Taylor-Brown for clocking "the fastest 70.3 in history." What does that mean? Do records matter in triathlon?
- Then it's a quick preview of the T100 racing in Qatar, where it's a winner-take-all situation between Lucy Charles-Barclay, Julie Derron, and Kate Waugh.
- Even more retirements! Is there something about 2025 that's causing all these pros to retire?
- And a kudos to Mark Allen and TriDot's Limitless initiative to get more women to triathlon start lines. There are over 1,000 women already signed up and a waitlist has been started.
- Which brings us to Joanne's question: How do tri clubs work in the U.S.?

This week, as most of America recovers from their Thanksgiving food comas and Joanne winds down her race announcing season, we’re honoring the sunset of another iconic chapter in triathlon. The legendary Dede Griesbauer—yes, the 55-year-old powerhouse with 21 years of pro racing under her belt—joins us to celebrate her retirement and reflect on a career defined by an unwavering love of swim-bike-run.
And, no, she will not be returning to a job on Wall Street!
Dede gives us the scoop on what happened with Lisa Perterer's missed slot at Ironman Cozumel and helps us start to preview the final big race of the year at the T100 Qatar Final. Plus, how the pros have changed in her two decades and the amount of media obligations they have to deal with now.
- What retirement actually looks like (Spoiler: It involves 12 hours of training/week)
- How she knew it was time to hand in the pro card—and why it felt exactly right
- Her hard-earned longevity secrets that have kept her competitive, fierce, and injury-resistant through five decades
Dede leaves us with a final reminder that feels especially appropriate as we round out the year: love the sport, enjoy the journey, and don’t forget to savor every moment along the way.

This episode originally dropped on June 20, 2025
Joanne, Katie, and Kelly are joined by endurance athlete, FKT record holder, and former IronWomen host, Alyssa Godesky, for a deep dive into the crazy world of adventure racing.
Alyssa shares what she’s been up to lately, plus her favorite recent race performance (can you say: Lydia Russell at Happy Valley 70.3?!)
She then gives a behind-the-scenes look at multi-day adventure races — from logistics and training, to eating and sleep deprivation. We had all the questions and she had all the answers on:
- How teamwork, roles, and communication differ from solo sports
- Her best and worst experiences on multi-day expeditions
- How she trains for sports like trekking, paddle boarding, and mountain biking
- Tips on staying strong (and sane) during long, grueling races
- Her experiences in the adventure racing community and reflections on past achievements
- A sneak peek at what’s next — including her big goal: the Spine Race in the UK
This episode is packed with Alyssa's passion for pushing limits and we can't wait to see where it takes her.

We're rolling into the holidays with a little festive competition and a whole lot of triathlon chaos. Joanne kicks things off with her legendary #fit4christmas challenge—the fun way to keep moving as the days get shorter. And for the (slightly) more dedicated athlete, we've got Feisty's new Winter Cycling Program for anyone looking to build up their cycling this off-season with a coached program and social group (Zwift) rides.
Then, it's all about the wave of recent retirement announcements from Meredith Kessler, Jodie Stimpson, Haley Chura, Dede Griesbauer, and so many more. Katie answers the question: How do you know when you're done? And are triathletes prepared for what(ever) comes next?
We also unpack the men’s T100 Dubai race drama, the new Ironman Kona qualification updates. And a quick look ahead to the final races of the year—including T100 Qatar—and some off-season TV recommendations (always Law and Order).
We'll be off for Thanksgiving! See you in two weeks.

The team is back together!
Joanne Murphy and India Lee give us all the details from-the-ground in Marbella at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships (including a party we're not allowed to talk about), and then they try to tackle the question: What makes the challenge of Ironman so appealing?
The Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Marbella: The energy, excitement, activations, and vibes were next level with over 6,300 athletes from 114 countries. And the racing? It lived up to the hype with another Lucy Charles-Barclay v. Taylor Knibb showdown. They both showed they're not to be counted out!
Did this actually inspire our own Katie Zaferes to try for 70.3 Worlds qualification in a couple of years...?? And has Lucy reached superstar status?
Then, it's all about how athletes — including Indie — are getting through the last few big T100 races of the year, what changes could be made to the Ironman Pro Series, and why it's better when 70.3 Worlds is before Ironman Worlds.
She tells us about:
- Why the British female triathletes so good
- Her journey from short-course to medium-course to Ironman
- What it is that makes people want to sign up for another one
- And that allure of Kona

This week, Laura Siddall joins us for an Ironman 70.3 World Championships preview.
But first Kelly & Sid dive straight into the 2026 Ironman qualification dramathat isn't going away — and probably won't go away any time soon.
While Ironman had promised a fairer, more balanced system with 30–35% of total slots for women, the actual allocations of the "performance pool" spots are coming in closer to just 5%. Let your voices be heard, Feisties, and reach out to Ironman so they can hear your concerns!
Then, from frustration to anticipation: We turn our focus to this weekend’s 70.3 World Championships in Marbella, Spain. Even though we're barely over 24 hours from the women's race, the start list continues to change. They discuss:
- The Marbella race course and strategy—who will benefit most from the climbing?
- Will the favs (Lucy, Kat, Taylor, Solveig) still be too tired from Kona to lay it all out there? Will they even make it to the start line?
- Which dark horses should we be watching?
- Watch out for those short course athletes!
It's Kelly's favorite race of the year and you can catch it LIVE on Outside TV with the women at 11 p.m. PT Friday/2 a.m. ET Saturday (but North Americans may need to pull an all-nighter to catch it!) Here is a list of how to watch.

She's won a WTCS, she's been 7th at the Olympics, and she's raced in the women's Giro! Maya Kingma joins Kelly, Joanne, and Katie to talk all things swim-bike-run... and bike.
First, she helps us tackle the big question: With so many series now on the calendar, how are pros supposed to choose? Between WTCS, T100, and Ironman races, it’s getting tougher to balance travel, recovery, and top-level performance week after week. And attract viewers.
Then, Maya Kingma tries to explain what the heck is going on with the Dutch federation — who, she says, have chose to remove individual triathlon from their Olympic program?!
- How she balances pro triathlon and pro cycling
- How bike racing changed her approach to triathlon racing
- Why the Dutch have chose to focus solely on the relay — and if this is a bad decision
- But first, apparently even the best face the lap pool conundrum: How do you get a workout in between the breaststrokers?
And you thought it was going to be a slow week.

The gang’s finally all here! Joanne’s somewhere between the post-Kona high and a jet lag hangover, but that’s not stopping us from diving into what’s next.
First up: The World Triathlon Championship Finals in Wollongong. From the surprising upset in the elite race (and why it was surprising) to Katie's picks for the up-and-comers to watch and a few of our favorite para world champs.
Plus, a couple of the big headlines from the biggest week for World Triathlon:
- What's happening with T100?
- The new 2026 schedule
- And World Tri claims two new race disciplines: Fitness Racing and Swimrun
And of course, a quick update on the new 2026 Ironman World Championship qualification process and why people are upset.
Then we take our first look at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship start list. Yes, it’s definitely going to change in the coming weeks, but to begin: who’s in, who’s missing, and who might not make it to the start line.
From the lava fields of Kona last week to the golden shores of Wollongong, Australia: it's world championship season.
This weekend Wollongong hosts the World Triathlon age-group, U23, juniors, and para world championships. Plus, a stacked WTCS Grand Final (which determins the world champion) and the re-scheduled T100 race.
World Triathlon World Title: In the WTCS series, Beth Potter and Cassandre Beaugrand are locked in a tie for the top spot going into this final race — with SuperTri champ Jeanne Lehair 200 points back in third. Katie Zaferes helps us break down the complicated points system and how the race could break up. With a “hilly-ish” 7-lap bike course, will a break stick or will it come down to the run?
Watch on Saturday evening in North America — on TriathlonLive.tv
Plus, T100 Wollongong: Several (many many) names may be absent from the start list, but Ashleigh Gentle and Kate Waugh are headlining the favorites. Full start list + streaming info: t100triathlon.com/wollongong/pro
Watch on Friday evening in North America — on the PTO's T100 Youtube.
World titles, big names, and unpredictable plot twists — it’s another weekend of triathlon you don’t want to miss.
Welcome to a unique Feisty x HOKA post-Ironman World Championship event — teaming up for a live celebration brunch and panel discussion in Kona, featuring some amazing age-group and local athletes, and special guests Taylor Knibb, Daniela Ryf, and Gwen Jorgensen.
First, we hear inspiring stories from the women who raced as part of the IRONMAN Foundation (some for their first time) and from the local athletes who were selected in the Hawaii athlete lottery program. They open up about getting to the start and finish line — and they lessons they learned along the way.
Then, the pros take the mic. Taylor Knibb walks us through yesterday's unforgettable IRONMAN World Championship race, including collapsing while in the lead with less than two miles to go. She’s poignant, funny, and as humble as ever, and there’s no doubt she’ll be back on the Big Island in the years to come.
Plus, five-time IRONMAN World Champion Daniela Ryf and Olympic gold medalist Gwen Jorgensen share their insights, whether they wanted to be out there during one of the craziest races this island has seen, and their own advice for bouncing back when things go sideways.
THAT WAS CRAZY!
We're back after a wild Ironman World Championship race that saw one former world champion drop out early on the bike (Chelsea Sodaro), another defending champ here DNF in the heat (Lucy Charles-Barclay), and then race leader Taylor Knibb collapse with less than two miles to go.
We hear from our new 2025 Ironman World Champion Solveig Løvseth — completing the Norwegian sweep of the Ironman titles this year.
And then we chat with most of the podium post-race and in the press conferences. Including:
- Kat Matthews' run course record and closing the gap in second to just 35 seconds
- How 2024 Ironman World Champion Laura Philipp stayed calm as chaos reign in front of her
- And what led to surprises like Hannah Berry's 4th place — the highest from a Kiwi in 18 years
It was a big day, and we've got all the post-Kona analysis!
On the eve of the IRONMAN World Championship, we’re joined by Feisty co-host and official race announcer Joanne Murphy, who somehow survives a week of wall-to-wall press conferences, interviews, banquets, and race-day hype—without totally losing her voice (or her mind).
We talk about what it's actually like behind the scenes in Kona, how she preps for the chaos, and why she still makes time to soak in the magic.
This year’s theme? Resilience. We’ve got highlights from the pro press conference and voices from two women who know this race inside and out: Diana Bertsch, IRONMAN’s SVP of World Championship Events, and Hall of Famer Cherie Gruenfeld. They remind us what makes this place—and this race—so legendary.

The Queen is back — but this time, she’s not racing.
Sara and Kelly catch up with 10-time world champion Daniela Ryf, who’s traded her dominance on the race course for a full plate of new roles — from launching a documentary about life after sport, to running her foundation in Kenya, to working with Felt and a fitness tech startup.
Daniela opens up about:
- How much (or little) she's training in between so many projects now
- The mission behind the Daniela Ryf Foundation and her work in Kenya
- How she’s still channeling her inner competitor in “real life” work
- Her advice for athletes racing in Kona
And, of course, she revisits that legendary jellyfish year — how she pushed through pain, found focus, and turned what could have ended her race into one of the greatest Kona comebacks ever.
Then, she helps the Feisty team break down this year's race and how it could play out: from Lucy Charles-Barclay’s likely early lead to the potential for an all-out run showdown that could break course records. Daniela still has the bike course record here. Will it go down this year? Who are her favorites?

Today, Sara's co-host is none other than triathlon legend Julie Moss — the woman who quite literally put Ironman on the map with her unforgettable 1982 crawl to the finish line. Julie shares stories from those early, wild-west days of triathlon. (Think: oranges for fuel, very little training, and “research” that involved signing up for an Ironman as a college project!). And, she reflects on what it means to be back on the Big Island for this final all-women’s World Championship.
Speaking of legends, we also hear from two Ironman World Champions on about what they're expecting on race day:
Chelsea Sodaro: On why she’ll always see herself as an underdog — even with a world title under her belt.
Laura Phillipp: on why racing on the Big Island is wildly different than Nice and how she's been practicing those sprint finishes (just in case!)

USAT CEO and first-time Kona racer Vic Brumfield joins the show to share what inspired her to take on the Ironman World Championship and how she's approaching race day.
They then dive into what it takes to bring more women into multisport and barriers women face—returning to racing after pregnancy, the time and financial demands of training, the need for more family-friendly race options and accessible coaching, and just seeing other women do it.
Speaking of: We also hear from Ironman champ Skye Moench, who is making her much-anticipated post-partum return to professional long-course racing — with the Ironman World Championship as her very first race back! Skye talks about her mindset heading into the race, how "fit enough" is good enough, and the challenges and changes of getting to this start line.

We’re back!
LIVE from the iconic Canoe Club in Kona, we’re here all week to bring you the vibes and the interviews from the Big Island as the waves roll in and the sun sets on what may be the final all-women’s Ironman World Championship.
To start, we're going deep into why is it the last all-women's race? (For now!) Why were there only 1,500 spots for women's Kona v. 2,300 for men's Nice? (Seriously, WHY?!) And how did we get here?
And, then, it's the question everyone's been asking: What is going on with the complicated new Ironman World Championship qualification process for next year....
Then, it's time to turn our attention to the actual race happening. And check in with three of the amazing pro women toeing the line this Saturday:
- Tamara Jewett – What is with everyone and the shark info?!
- Jackie Hering – One of the oldest pros in the race — and also the American Ironman record holder from just last year!
- Solveig Løvseth – And one of the youngest, making her debut and bringing the Norwegian Method to the women's race.
The vibes are chill (for now), but the energy is building. Stay tuned all week for more voices and stories from the Big Island.

Feisty’s Winter Training for Cyclists at feisty.co/winter-training-for-cyclists
Who better to talk Kona than 3x IRONMAN World Champion Mirinda Carfrae?
This week, the crew welcomes Rinny back to the mic to catch us up on first ultra-marathon and the shift from pro racing to what keeps her motivated now — with some tips for co-host Katie Zaferes on navigating the post-retirement, post-partum workouts.
The team also discusses the big races of the past weekend: WTCS Weihai — Beth Potter and Cassandre Beaugrand are tied (!) going into the final — and the wild XTERRA World Champs.
But let’s be real — the big focus this week? The last all-women’s IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, going down Saturday, October 11.
We break down a field that’s absolutely stacked — from short-course phenoms like Solveig Løvseth and Julie Derron, to seasoned pros like Kat Matthews, Taylor Knibb, and Holly Lawrence. Oh, and don’t forget the three former world champs in the mix: Laura Philipp, Lucy Charles-Barclay, and Chelsea Sodaro. And rising stars like Marjolaine Pierre are also coming in hot.
We get into:
- How much will the weather play a role?
- Do the women race differently than the men?
- Does a Kona vet have a leg up on the lava?
- Can the short-course specialists hang?
- Will the course record fall?
There's so much to discuss and Feisty Triathlon will be on the ground in Kona, dropping daily pods starting Monday, Oct. 6. And if you’re on the Big Island — come say hey to the Feisty crew IRL!

Ironman race announcer-rockstar Joanne Murphy is back from her three-country triathlon whirlwind—Belgium, Nice, and Wales—and gives us the vibe checks from the last men's Ironman World Championship in France.
Plus, why are the crowds so electric in places like Tenby, Wales and Jersey, in the Channel islands? What makes these races unforgettable?
It's a quick recap of the results from the weekend: Supertri Jersey, T100 Spain, Ironman Wales. And then it's all eyes forward on the epic Kona start list for the women's Ironman World Championship in October.
Chelsea Sodaro joins for an update after her last big Kona training block, and to chat about what she's been up to this year and why she's excited to be putting on a charity weekend bike & wine event in support of For All Mothers+. The team also goes deep on the question of postpartum training, and balancing triathlon with parenting.
Then, because it’s championship season, we've got a second special guest! Kelly also talks with mountain bike marathon national champ Hannah Otto ahead of the Xterra World Championships in Trentino, Italy this weekend. While she's a mountain bike racer and Leadville champ now, Hannah got her start in triathlon and has great advice for anyone looking to keep the fun, community, and excitement in their training.

Fresh off her second-place finish at the World Triathlon Championship Series race in Karlovy Vary, Taylor Spivey joins the Feisty Tri podcast to break down the breakthrough performance.
Taylor and Katie Zaferes talk World Triathlon and draft-legal strategy, how tactics have changed over their careers, and how the race dynamics played out differently with a hard bike course in Karlovy Vary. When you decide to race from the front or make a break, what do you tell yourself?
Taylor also updates us on where in the world she is these days, the perils of living out of a suitcase, and they compare notes on moving between short-course and long-course — what's the most challenging part of that transition. Is there an Ironman in the future?
Plus, the group chats about the impressive showing from former short-course athletes at the men's Ironman World Championship in Nice this past weekend. Did the course uniquely suit short-course draft-legal athletes? Discuss.

This week, Katie Zaferes and Kelly O'Mara are joined by former British world champ turned high-performance coach Non Stanford to talk about why short-course racing is the most exciting — don't miss WTCS Karlovy Vary this weekend! — and what she's trying to build now as a coach.
Non talks about moving from Brit Tri into a leadership role with Triathlon Australia (as well as a move to the Gold Coast), her shift from elite racing to coaching, and how she’s balancing athlete demands ahead of Brisbane 2032.
She and Katie swap and compare notes on what they took away from racing and training and how they're building their coaching environments now.
They also dive into:
- How female Olympic developments stacks up in the U.S. v. the UK v. Australia
- Lessons they took from their coach, Joel Filliol
- What it's like to race and compete against your close friends
- Their favorite memory of racing and training together
Plus: A preview of WTCS Karlovy Vary and why you should get excited for mixed relays! Both Katie and Non are aiming to leave the sport better than they found it, and we believe they will.

Kelly, Joanne, and Katie are joined this week by a duo of pro triathletes training and traveling together, Fenella Langridge and Hannah Berry.
The two help the squad break down this past big weekend of racing — with a from-the-ground report from Hannah on the T100 French Riviera course and her 6th place finish. Plus, Fenella and Hannah dive into the differences between racing in Kona vs. Nice ahead of the men's Ironman World Championship next week (and which courses they preferred). And, everyone's picks for which male athletes the Nice course could suit, and who'd they want to party with.
Plus, important questions like: Where is the after party in Nice? And: Do they watch other pros' Youtube channels?
Then, Fenella explains external iliac artery endofibrosis, what symptoms she had all of last year, why it seems like so many pro women are dealing with this, and how she's recovering from surgery. Her sights are set now on Ironman Western Australia at the end of the year.
But first the two head to Kona — Hannah to race, Fenella to train and support and cheer.

Fresh off her adventures in Switzerland and France, Joanne Murphy rejoins the pod to recap her recent travels, including her time announcing at Ironman 70.3 Vichy and the Epic Series mountain bike race.
Meanwhile, Kelly returned to racing in style at the Chicago Triathlon — by Supertri! The event brought huge participation numbers and maybe — just maybe — signs that mass participation triathlons are making a real comeback.
While there, Kelly caught up with Supertri podium stars Jeanne Lehair and Georgia Taylor-Brown, who offered up their race-day reactions and gave us a peek at what’s ahead. (Seven races in seven weeks for Georgia!) Plus, a conversation with Dare2tri co-founder Keri Serota about the organization's mission to empower athletes with physical disabilities and visual impairments to try triathlon.
Then the crew looks ahead to a jam-packed race weekend: T100 French Riviera, the new joint WTCS (and which athletes are doing both), and the final IM Pro Series race pre-championships at Zell am See 70.3. Katie, Joanne, and Kelly also some corrections for the record and some questions about what's to come. It all kicks off championship season!

While Joanne Murphy is still off in St. Moritz (is she going to come back to us next week!?), Kelly O'Mara and Katie Zaferes take the reins. They talk all about the final Kona qualifiers, the first races with the new age-graded qualification system, and the latest race results — including the World Games duathlon title.
Then we chat with 2016 Olympic champion Gwen Jorgensen about her recent surgery, a return to training, balancing parenting with training (and with surgery recovery), her new scholarship and investment project, and her plans for the future. Lucky for triathlon fans, she's definitely got more races in her sights!
Katie and Kelly also dish on:
- Katie's return to work six weeks postpartum - yes, Europeans, that's fast!
- Kelly's upcoming event (not race!) at this weekend's Super Tri Chicago Triathlon. Come say hi if you're in town!
- The final list of Ironman World Championships qualifiers is out and it looks stacked. Plus, there are 19 athletes making their IM World Champs debut.
- And Kelly did the math on the first two races with the new age-group qualifying system.
- Would Katie race a duathlon mixed relay??

While Joanne is off announcing races in Switzerland, Kelly and Katie are joined by guest co-host Chelsea Burns (also the host of Chasing the Burn).
Chelsea brings her own feist with a brand new pick for race of the year, insights into track rivalries, what athletes deal with in the year after the Olympics, and how she really feels about ever racing triathlon again. And, they look ahead to the final Kona qualifying race and the great Kona debate over same day championship racing,
She also shares her experience running a youth triathlon camp in Boulder, dives into the pros and cons of AI coaching (we're thinking mostly cons), and gives a sneak peek into her own racing goals — including ultra-running and podcasting life.
This one’s full of laughs, hot takes, and deep dives into real life racing and coaching. Plus, we get some throwbacks from when Katie and Chelsea used to race together.

Katie Zaferes is back!
This time with four-week-old baby Josie in her arms and a new perspective on the not-so-linear road back to training. She catches us up about the chaos of early motherhood and coaching, while trying to stay connected to elite-level triathlon — with all the honesty and humor we've come to expect.
And with the whole gang back, they took the chance to dive into the latest: previewing the T100 London race this upcoming weekend, debating the newest PTO news, getting the inside scoop on last week's surprise Supertri winner, and correcting the record on a few things the team may have wildly speculated about.
Then,we’re thrilled to welcome three-time XTERRA World Champion Solenne Billouin, who shares her journey from cycling to off-road dominance to the world of 70.3 road racing. She gets real about the mental grind of elite performance, the learning curve of switching disciplines, and why she’s not a huge fan of the phrase “dream big.”

In this episode, Kelly and Joanne catch up on all things triathlon, including an in-depth Ironman Leeds recap, the return of Boise 70.3, new North American race announcements, and Joanne’s hectic announcing schedule for the rest of the year (and you thought racing was hard!)
The heart of the episode is a powerful, in-depth interview with long-time pro, Melanie McQuaid, a multi-time world champion who successfully transitioned from professional mountain biking and Xterra to long course triathlon. Mel opens up about her decades-long career in endurance sports, racing at the elite level in her 50s, and how she’s adapted her training and mindset along the way.
She shares:
- Her early days in mountain biking and the shift to triathlon
- Embracing the challenge and adventure of Xterra off-road racing
- How strength and technical skills play a role in long-term performance
- Balancing recovery, self-care, and competitive drive as we age
- The mental strategies that keep her sharp and focused
- What it means to race Kona at 50—and still chase world titles
- Her advice to women navigating aging, identity, and high performance in sport
It's another jam-packed episode of wisdom and inspiration from one of the all-time greats!

If you haven’t seen Ruth Astle on a triathlon race course lately, it’s not for lack of trying—she’s been sidelined much of the year by a frustrating, still-unresolved hip injury.
But that doesn't mean she hasn't been keeping up (at a very detailed level!) with all the latest races and athlete issues as a member of the PTO Athlete Board. And she brings all that knowledge to today's episode to dissect Ironman Lake Placid, way too early Kona predictions, and the public release of the Race Ranger data from Challenge Roth.
Today, Kelly and Joanne catch up with Ruth for a wide-ranging and honest conversation covering everything from race highs to injury lows—and how she deals with this frustrating time. (Lots of gravel riding.)
In today's episode:
- Why Ironman Hamburg is Ruth's pick for race of the year so far
- Her dark horses for Kona - including Solveig Løvseth??
- The evolution of IRONMAN racing—and whether you have to run a sub-2:50 now
- Her leadership role on the PTO Athlete Board and athlete frustrations (too many rules!)
- Her ongoing hip injury, the impact it’s had on her training and racing plans, and how she's adapting
- Looking ahead to the next big adventures and career moves

Laura Siddall's triathlon racing days may be over, but her love of triathlon isn't.
Sid, Kelly, and Joanne break down the year’s most electrifying moments in the sport and swap thoughts on who's crushing it (hello, Kat Matthews), who's surprising us (the Aussies), and what’s going on with the new world championship qualification system for age-groupers and pros. Spoiler: It’s a lot.
Sid then opens up about her emotional retirement after Challenge Roth, sharing reflections on her final race, what she'd love to see in the sport, and drops hints at what’s next.
It's another hour of sideline commentary, Olympic chatter (and that pesky 100K Olympic rumor), and a peek behind the curtain of triathlon broadcasting. Because even after retirement, Sid’s still all-in on the sport and we're here for it.

Yes, there is life after a professional triathlon career and Lauren Brandon is here to gush about it!
This week, Joanne and Kelly talk to the recently retired pro and mom-to-be about life after racing:
- What does she miss most about her pro racing days? (Definitely not swimming.)
- What changes did she see in the sport during her final years?
- As a standout swimmer, what was it like always racing from the front?
- What do her weekends look like now? (Ahhhh...brunch)
- Her new role managing athletes at Varlo Apparel
- Staying active during pregnancy and what comes next!
Plus, Lauren's still a HUGE triathlon fan — and keeping up with all the racing! So all three dissect the latest races — including the controversial sprint finish and protest at the 70.3 European Championship, the racing at Challenge Roth, and the upcoming triathlon start lines this weekend (WTCS Hamburg!). Who still needs to earn a spot to Kona?

With co-host Katie Zaferes on maternity leave, Kelly and Joanne are joined by special guest Bianca Fernandez-Clark, founder of Women in Tri UK, to break down the new Ironman age-group World Championship qualification system—and what it means for gender equity in the sport.
But first, they recap the chaos of Ironman Frankfurt: from penalties and mishaps to standout performances (Kristian Blummenfelt, anyone?) and gear issues that shook up the race. They also preview Challenge Roth, where current World Champ Laura Philipp could be chasing that first-ever sub-8 iron-distance.
Then, it’s on to World Championship slots. With Ironman now rolling out a new qualification process—based on a performance-driven, age-graded algorithm—Kelly and Bianca unpack what this could mean for the sport.
Will it bring more fairness and opportunity? Or, is it a tweak in need of fine-tuning?

She may be in her rookie season as a pro long-course triathlete, but Lydia Russell is already throwing down impressive performances, including the win over a top-tier field at Happy Valley 70.3.
Most impressive? She's relatively new to the sport of triathlon and admittedly still has a lot of questions!
Today, Katie, Joanne, and Kelly chat with Lydia about her launch into triathlon (from getting injured while running in college), moving up through NCAA tri as a short-course athlete, and then moving to long-course racing just at the start of this year!
She may have a lot she still wants to learn about the sport, but we're all being schooled by this young rookie pro.

Welcome to The Feist — your favorite sports, with your feistiest friends.
Hosted by Sara Gross and Kelly O’Mara, Feisty's newest podcast is here to celebrate the unstoppable rise of women’s sports. Every week they'll cover what you need to know in women's sports: from running to basketball to everything in between. The Feist will bring you the untold stories of female athletes, interviews with those athletes and behind-the-scenes experts, and the feisty analysis you need to be a fan.
This is the women's sports podcast that covers the sports that don't always get covered from voices that don't always get heard.
In a special live launch episode, they kick off with a panel on what's next and where women's sports go from here. Joining us for the live event are:
- Scott Lake – Newly minted co-owner of the Toronto Tempo, Canada’s first WNBA team, co-founder of Shopify, and an investor in girls' and women's sports.
- Hilary Stellingwerff – Two-time Canadian Olympian, multi-time national champion in the 1500m, and now head track & cross-country coach at the University of Victoria.
- Krista Thompson – Former national team field hockey player and award-winning coach with 20+ years of experience at the provincial, regional, national and international level.
Together, they dive into:
- The massive economic upside of investing in women’s sports
- Why female role models and maternity support matter more than ever
- The coaching and performance knowledge gaps rooted in outdated research
- The lessons they wish they’d known earlier
- And what’s exciting them most about the future
Whether you're a seasoned fan or want to learn more, The Feist is your front-row seat to this women's sports revolution. Because women’s sports aren’t just having a moment—they’re building a movement. And they need fans like you.

She's baaackkkkk!
Joanne, Katie, and Kelly are joined by endurance athlete, FKT record holder, and former IronWomen host, Alyssa Godesky, for a deep dive into the crazy world of adventure racing.
Alyssa shares what she’s been up to lately, plus her favorite recent race performance (can you say: Lydia Russell at Happy Valley 70.3?!)
She then gives a behind-the-scenes look at multi-day adventure races — from logistics and training, to eating and sleep deprivation. We had all the questions and she had all the answers on:
- How teamwork, roles, and communication differ from solo sports
- Her best and worst experiences on multi-day expeditions
- How she trains for sports like trekking, paddle boarding, and mountain biking
- Tips on staying strong (and sane) during long, grueling races
- Her experiences in the adventure racing community and reflections on past achievements
- A sneak peek at what’s next — including her big goal: the Spine Race in the UK
This episode is packed with Alyssa's passion for pushing limits and we can't wait to see where it takes her.

Katie, Joanne, and Kelly return with insights, info, and inspiration from the world of women’s triathlon:
- The 2025 season is heating up — The latest race results and what’s shaking up the women’s field.
- The research gap is real — Kelly shares key takeaways from the Female Athlete Conference, including the shocking stat that only 6% of sports science research was conducted solely on female athletes.
- Our research wish list — And the hosts dive into the studies they wish existed on pregnancy, low energy availability, and how the menstrual cycle impacts training.
Plus, Joanne chats with long-time pro triathlete Paula Findlay about what it really takes to stay in the sport for 20 years—and still be at the top of her game (and the top of a lot of podiums).
Paula opens up about how her approach to training has changed with a new coaching team, the lessons she’s learned (some the hard way), and why, for her, it’s no longer just about winning. It’s about having fun and loving the sport and living "that triathlon life."

Katie and Kelly are joined by special guest, Emma Pallant-Browne for a discussion on athletes and pregnancy. Katie is checking in at 36 weeks and Emma is now at 26 weeks pregnant, and all three discuss the challenges of balancing training and family life—including the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
After a quick update on the latest races and results, they dive into everything pregnancy and postpartum as athletes:
- Their current pregnancy training (or "exercising") adjustments
- Balancing motherhood and training while pregnant
- The highs and lows of returning postpartum
- Setting realistic goals and having patience (something pro triathletes are not great at doing)
- What to expect after birth (it ain't always pretty)
Most importantly, they stress building a community of support and trust for a safe and successful return to performance - whatever that looks like!

Katie, Joanne, and Kelly are joined this week by OG Feisty Sarah True, and we get caught up on what Sarah's been up to, her sudden rise to NY Times fame, and the complexities of balancing all of life's priorities.
The team also discusses:
- The upcoming races this weekend: Ironman Hamburg, WTCS Alghero, and T100 San Francisco
- The controversy over confusing rules for hydration systems (that we're still not sure we understand after a 75-minute explanation from the head ref)
- The craziest rule violations they've witnessed - can you say vaping?
- What constitutes outside assistance - but only in triathlon
- And the latest analysis from Women in Tri UK on competitiveness in the age-group women's fields
It's another mixed bag of feisty tri fun and observations. And we apologize for some audio feedback mid-episode this week, as the team gets the kinks worked out!

Katie, Joanne, and Kelly are back with your front row seat to triathlon — diving into an exciting weekend of global racing, spotlighting Lucy Charles-Barclay’s Ironman Lanzarote win, Jeanne Lehair's victory on a rainy WTCS Yokohama course, and Slovakian Nikola Korbova making history by becoming the first woman to win an Xtri overall!
We then get their views on the growth of the sport and how the U.S. can prepare to take advantage of LA2028 — with Katie Zaferes' inside look at what it was like after medaling in an Olympics.
USA Triathlon CEO Vic Brumfield joins the show in the second half to share her vision for the sport’s future and what USAT's strategic plans are to grow triathlon in the U.S., with a "day in the life" look at her complex role—from grassroots racing to bold moves in marketing, community engagement, support for race directors, and even comments she hears from people at races across the country.
Catch all the action, inspiration, and expert takes on where triathlon is headed—and how you can be part of the movement.

The Feisty Triathlon podcast is back and we're getting to know our new hosts, Olympic medalist Katie Zaferes, Ironman announcer Joanne Murphy, and Feisty content director Kelly O'Mara. They're joined by special guest 4x World Champion Mirinda "Rinny" Carfrae. And we're kicking off with a deep dive into their early journeys in triathlon — plus where they want the sport to go.
Each week, the new Feisty Triathlon show will showcase women’s voices and stories in the sport, as well as cover the latest news and results.
Episode 1 is all about beginnings and these four women share their surprising, inspiring, and sometimes messy stories of how they each found their way into triathlon, and how the sport has changed in the decades since they first found their way into swim-bike-run.
Then, they make their tri picks for the year. Including:
- How the sport of triathlon has evolved, especially the opportunities for female athletes and the changing landscape of competition
- What they would still like to see change in the sport
- How to attract more women at all distances
- Key match-ups and events to look forward to in the 2025 race season
Every champion starts somewhere and it's our hope that you'll be inspired by the passion, resilience, and personality behind these trailblazers of triathlon.

After a long off-season, our new Feisty Triathlon podcast relaunches with a live episode next week. We’ll have a special guest, we’ll be talking about all the latest races and news, and we’ll take questions from you.
Mark your calendars for May 14 at 3 p.m. ET and join us on the Feisty Media Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/feistymedia
In the meantime: Our new hosts have a message for you. Can you guess who they are?
After Ironman's announcement yesterday that the World Championship race will return to one day with men & women in the same event, and that age-group women's qualification spots will return to a system of proportionality based on participation rates, we had to call an emergency podcast.
Don't worry, the new Feisty Triathlon podcast will be re-launching in two weeks. Mark your calendars for a live launch event on May 14 — and can you guess who the hosts are?
But, until then, Kelly & Sara got back together to:
- Explain why so many women feel so tired and frustrated
- Breakdown the most common arguments against giving women equal spots to the world championship
- Dive into what Ironman should be learning both from what's worked in other sports and from what's worked in Olympic triathlon racing
- Look at those polling survey results Ironman's been sharing around: If 42% of your female customer base already says they prefer the new split format v. your flagship historic event after just two years, you should be asking why...
And, what happens now?
Be sure to subscribe on the Feisty Tri feed so you don't miss the new relaunched podcast coming.

Here we go again with the bombardment of “New Year, New You” ads and messages to “eat this, not that,” or “do this specific workout for 30 days to get amazing abs.” You know the drill and they’re probably in your feed as we speak.
In this first-of-its kind episode, Feisty Media podcast hosts Kathryn Taylor (Girls Gone Gravel), Sara Gross (Women’s Performance Podcast), Kelly O’Mara (If We Were Riding), and Selene Yeager (Hit Play Not Pause) unite for a candid conversation about these societal pressures of New Year's resolutions and the pitfalls of Fitness Challenges within women’s fitness culture.
Building positive new habits isn’t a bad thing, but the problem is that most of the challenges, diets, and cleanses often lead to underfueling, which can sabotage your goals as an active woman.
Sharing their own personal experiences with diet culture and disordered eating, Kathryn, Sara, Selene, and Kelly advocate for more self-acceptance and celebrating what the body can achieve, emphasizing overall health over aesthetics. Quite simply - they want you to be fueled for your 2025 goals.
That’s why we’re launching the Feisty Fueled Challengein January to foster healthier food and fitness dialogues. This FREE five day challenge will help you dive deeper into some of the internalized messages that we all struggle with, and feel empowered to make smart and mindful decisions about how to fuel in 2025.
Starting January 6th, you’ll receive daily emails from leading fueling & mindset experts that will reframe your mindset around fueling and cover some practical ways to fuel your 2025 goals.
With just 10 minutes each day, you’ll be ready to be your best feisty, fueled self in 2025 and redefine health and fitness on your own terms.

In this final episode of If We Were Riding the whole gang returns, including a visit from "Old Sara" and an introspective voicemail from Kelly's Mom.
Today, we say "goodbye" to this iteration of the show by looking ahead and sharing dreams and goals for 2025 and beyond.
Also, in today's show:
- Khadijah's Experience in New Zealand
- The Norms Have Shifted in Our Sport (Thanks, in part, to Feisty's work)
- Where Can We Best Contribute to Change?
- Where to From Here?
- Our Final "We Rock Because"

In this packed episode, Haley and Alyssa recap race day stories from both the recent IRONMAN Arizona, where Haley was spectating her coached athletes, as well as the recent T100 World Championship Final in Dubai.
They also welcome two rising stars in the sport, Hana Al Nabulsi and Naomi Ruff.
Hana is a Team UAE triathlete who was on the ground at this year's T100 World Championship Final. She shares the growing excitement and enthusiasm for the sport in her country, as well as her desire to set an example and change perceptions of women in sport.
Unfortunately, due to a recent surgery, Hana wasn't able to compete at the race, but she shares the harrowing details around her injury and her goals for recovery and competition.
The second interview is with Naomi Ruff, the newly crowned NCAA Individual National Champion from Arizona State! She shares the details of her race day, including those smoking fast transitions which kept her at the front of the pack. It's an exciting play-by-play of the event, including the two-day format, team dynamics, and knowing when to make her move on the run.
The future of the sport is bright with these two rising stars!

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!

We are thrilled to welcome Emma Meyers to the show this week. Emma is a PTS4 category para triathlete, and at the age of 18, just competed in the Paris Paralympic games. She also just started her freshman year at Colorado Mesa University, where she is a member of their DII triathlon team, and recently became the first para triathlete to compete in an NCAA triathlon.
In this interview Emma sheds some light on what life looks like to be competing at her sport's highest level at such a young age, as well as what it has been like to step into draft legal racing on the NCAA scene. Emma also shares how she embraces being a trailblazer in the sport, and the sort of legacy she hopes to develop.

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!

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 20's, to reaching new personal bests in the pool in her 40's, Gabby has some great insight for everyone about what it means to achieve longevity in sport.

“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 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.
In this interview with Alyssa, we get to hear all about the journey that lead her to this point. She talks about being a mom alongside competing, and the things that have driven her to want to reach this level and be a role model for other women of the heights they can reach. As well, she tells us all about how she tries to live an eco-conscious lifestyle as best as possible, and the considerations she takes to achieve this without compromising elite performance.

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!

In honor of mothers day this past weekend, this week's episode features two women who are navigating the elite triathlon space as new moms. Our first guest, Kayla Pokorny found out she was pregnant with her second child last year during her rookie pro season, and has been quick to step back into racing with competing in St Anthony's just a few months postpartum. Our second guest is Lara Gruden, who had been competing as a pro for a number of years prior to getting pregnant with her first baby. Lara tool a different approach to motherhood as an athlete, deciding to step away from racing after giving birth, but still continuing to train and embrace a triathlon centric life supporting her husband's goals in the sport.
In the episode, we got to hear both women's perspectives on what it's like to be a mom and elite athlete in like today, as well as the unique highs and lows this journey can bring.

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!
Other topics:
- Nice recon from Ariel
- Bye, Bye, Bye to NY Tri
- Gimme Some Bread

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. On top of the incredible feat that is completing this race itself, Lucy was able to use her effort to raise money for cancer and make her race bigger than just herself.

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Kelsey Myers, who is an age group triathlete, about to embark on the triathlon adventure of a lifetime. This this winter Kelsey will be undertaking a "Global Triathlon" in which she will be completing 7 olympic distance triathlons in 7 continents in 7 days in order to fund raise for ZGIRLS.
Beyond being an athlete, Kelsey is an entrepreneur, and fierce advocate for women in sport. She tells us about what got her into triathlon, and what keeps her going today. As well, we hear about how she's making her mark in a male dominated space and helping other women do the same.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Stef 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.
Stef 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.

We also had the pleasure of getting to hear from Jackie Yost when Haley met her last week in Florida. She tells us about how she got her start in the sport, the community she has built, and being an athlete as a mom! Jackie is a role model to triathletes of all levels, and we are so glad we were able to speak with her!!

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!

In this episode she tells us what the multi-year long process of producing a film was like for her, and how it parallels elite sport in many ways.

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!

This week we got a chance to talk with our very own feisty operator, Ella Hnatyshyn! Ella competed alongside Haley this past weekend in Clash Miami, as her second professional long course race.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chi is a UX Designer at Google Earth and, of course, an Ironman Triathlete. Currently training for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Chi is an incredibly accomplished age-grouper.

While juggling triathlons, work, training, a master's degree, relationships, and 130,000 followers, Chi decided she needed to make a change.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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! Follow Ashleigh @gentle_ash Support the Podcast

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 fing fighter!”.

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 and Alyssa are joined by professional triathlete Ali Brauer. Ali is a member of the JP Elite Triathlon Team, a “daily training environment” squad based in New Hampshire. The team lives and trains together for most of the year, and she gives us an inside look at what that kind of intensive squad life is like. The daughter of an elite runner an and elite swimmer, Ali grew up playing all kinds of sports, and she was both a swimmer and runner during her undergrad in college. After taking some time away from sport while doing her masters, Ali found triathlon while doing her PhD at Colorado University in Boulder. As her passion for triathlon grew, Ali realized that she was more drawn to sport than she was to academia, and she decided to pursue professional triathlon full time.
As a bonafide overachiever, Ali opens up about burnout, subsequent injuries, and how she was able to overcome the mental and physical fallout of burning the candle at both ends. She is now on the right track, and after a successful season in 2021 with multiple 70.3 podiums, Ali is ready to take on the 2022 season from an even better place than she was last year.

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.

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 thehttps://www.womensperformance.com/ ( Women's Performance Podcast) features host Sara Gross, with three change-makers, movers, and shakers in the women's performance space -https://www.drstacysims.com/ ( Dr. Stacy Sims),https://livefeisty.com/category/podcasts/hit-play-not-pause/ ( Selene Yeager), andhttps://www.feistytriathlon.com/ ( 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. Stacy Sims provides perspective on the biggest changes in her field of research, and what new directions she is seeing that will help women. Selene discusses changes she has seen in the fitness industry and media, and how she vets information when working on an article or looking for a guest on thehttps://livefeisty.com/category/podcasts/hit-play-not-pause/ ( "Hit Play Not Pause") podcast Jamila paints a picture of her time as a US Army Officer and the cultural assumptions she had to navigate in this "culture within a culture."
They also provided valuable roundtable insight on questions from both Sara and the live audience, including: What does it mean for you to focus on performance in your life? And, how has it changed through the years? What does it mean to continue to focus on performance as we age? How do history and culture affect our work, research, and performance? Why is it important to look at performance through a variety of lenses? What's the best advice you've received as a performance-minded individual? How do you make strength training fun? How do I know if I need a rest day, or if I'm just being lazy? (spoiler alert: you're NOT lazy) Do you train according to your cycles? What is your advice on recovery?
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.

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 https://www.instagram.com/manamitris/ (@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. After a not-so-perfect start to the race, she tells us how she dug deep to get through the tough bike course and run her way through the field to an impressive 11th place finish.
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.

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.

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 IronWomen Podcast, Haley and Alyssa are chatting with cyclist and former collegiate swimmer Emily Cameron. Emily just finished bike packing the Tour Divide, a 2700 mile route that follows the Great Divide Trail along the continental divide from the USA/Canada border all the way south to the Mexican border.
Emily had a decorated career as a collegiate swimmer at the University of Georgia, then transitioned into triathlon after college. After some early success in triathlon she decided to walk away from competitive sport. She talks through that decision, and why she has taken to ultra-endurance events as a way to explore and enjoy new places.
Alyssa and Haley also pick Emily’s brain for some of her Olympic picks in swimming, cycling and triathlon to get us all hyped for some Olympic fever!

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.

Clarice qualified for her pro card at Ironman Florida in 2020 and raced her first race as a professional at Ironman Tulsa this spring. After a not-so-perfect start to the race, she tells us how she dug deep to get through the tough bike course and run her way through the field to an impressive 11th place finish.
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.

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).

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.

Happy Women’s History Month to all of our IronWomen listeners. We are kicking off the month with a super fun interview featuring professional dog musher Erin Letzring. Growing up in northern Minnesota, dog sled mushing was a family affair for Erin and her siblings and parents. She walks us through a typical day as a dog musher, and tells us about what goes into training her dogs as well as keeping herself in shape to take on these epic events. Erin also explains the unique relationship that she has with her dog team, and highlights some of the best parts of working with her furry friends.
Follow Erin on Facebook at her page Erin and Friends.

The summer race season is in full swing in New Zealand, and this week on the show Alyssa and Haley connect with Kiwi pro triathlete Rebecca “Bec” Clarke. Bec has two podium finishes so far, grabbing a third place finish at the Tuaranga Half triathlon and second place at Challenge Wanaka this past weekend. Her career in professional triathlon started on the ITU circuit back in 2012, but after some time away from full time racing, Bec came back to pro racing in 2019 and took on the long course circuit.
Bec gives us some advice on how to focus on the positive when dealing with comments on social media, and tells us why it is important to her to have people around her that will help her keep a positive outlook. She also tells us what races she is looking forward to once the world opens up to travel again.

A Manual for Progress details the ups and downs of challenges she faced confronting the injustices in women’s sport. She talks with Alyssa and Haley about being putting herself out there in writing the book, and also why she felt it was important to be vulnerable when she is standing up for women’s equity in cycling.

This week on the show Haley and Alyssa are speaking with writer and triathlete Nia Obotette. Nia is the author of the children’s book I Am A Triathlete which was released in 2020. She was inspired to write the book after realizing the widespread lack of representation of people of color in triathlon literature, and wanted to create a way for children like her own niece to see themselves represented in the sport. She hopes that by sharing the adventures of “Niya” through the book, children of color will be inspired to start their own journey into the sport of triathlon. Nia also shares her own journey of finding the sport of triathlon, and encourages all women to share their own unique stories.
You can buy Nia’s book on her website niatheauthor.com or buy it on Amazon and leave her a 5-star review! Follow Nia on Instagram @niatheauthor

In episode two of our Train Your Mind mini series Vanessa is encouraging us to fail more, but quit less. She explains that the way that we build mental endurance, much like physical endurance, is to endure. But often there is one thing that gets in the way, and that is our own excuses.
Vanessa teaches us what the Motivational Triad is, and why it is important to our mental endurance, and also the difference between failing and quitting. We know that quitting can slow us down, but sometimes failing can be the key to our success. Vanessa helps us learn what is beneath both failing and quitting, and how we can manage both to increase our performance.

This week on the Train Your Mind Mini Series Vanessa is asking us what we are willing to invest to reach our goals.

Vanessa offers us questions to ask ourselves when figuring out the investment that we are willing to make in a goal.
Vanessa is providing IronWomen listeners an opportunity to deep dive into this at her Train Your Mind workshop: 5 Bold Steps to Set Goals You Actually Achieve on Wednesday, 12/30 at 4pm MT/6pm ET. Register for the workshop here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RQOpkWXSSFCd9kFjTtJWkQ

This week Alyssa and Haley are chatting with professional triathletes and Professional Triathletes Organization (PTO) board members Rachel Joyce and Sarah Piampiano. Last month the PTO announced its new parental leave policies that are attempting to address some of the potential issues, such as loss of income and decreases in overall ranking, that female pros face when they take time away from professional racing to raise their children. As the PTO Board Co-President, Rachel gives us some insight into what went into developing the policy, and how the compensation system has been set out. Sarah also fills us in on why this issue was particularly important to her as an expectant mother. The policy comes into effect on January 1st, 2021, and it will allow female professionals to receive up to 15months of paid leave during pregnancy and after giving birth.
We also have a special Challenge Daytona race recap with Alissa Doehla, who placed 11th at the PTO Championships this past Sunday. She dishes on the details of what the race was like from an insider perspective, and breaks down how the day went for her.

To say that this year has been a global rollercoaster ride is a massive understatement, and we are all feeling it. There are so many things out of our control, but this week on the Train Your Mind Mini Series Vanessa is reminding us that we do have controllables. She put this framework into three buckets of influence; things that we have no control over, things that we have partial control over, and the things that we have complete control over. Vanessa highlights this lesson through the experience of one of her athletes, and teaches us how we can move from out of control to in control of our choices and actions.

On this week’s episode Haley and Alyssa are chatting with rookie pro triathlete Ruth Astle. Ruth took her pro card last year after winning the amateur race at the 2019 Ironman World Championships. She jumped straight into the pro ranks, taking on her first race as a professional at Ironman Western Australia just a few weeks later. Ruth tells us about the lessons she took away from that race, and what she is continuing to learn as a new pro.
Like the rest of the triathlon world, Ruth’s 2020 race plans were drastically changed, but she didn’t let that stop her. She tells us how she was able to readjust her plans to get to some start lines this year - which included an incredible 4-week build to prep for Ironman Florida, where she finished in an impressive 4th place, setting a new bike course record. Ruth also received an invitation to race at the PTO Championships this december in Daytona, and she tells us what it has been like training in Florida these past few weeks compared to her home in the UK.
Alyssa and Haley recap some of the highlights from the Outspoken Women in Triathlon virtual awards ceremony, and dish on what 2020 fashion trends they are getting on board with.

On this week’s show, Haley and Alyssa are speaking with retired professional triathlete Chantell Widney. Chantell began her athletic career as a cross country runner, and found triathlon in her mid-twenties, winning the first race she entered and quickly making her way onto the ITU racing scene.
Chantell tells us about the challenges of racing on the ITU circuit without the support of Triathlon Canada, and how this pushed her to move into the world of off-road racing. Despite her lack of experience on a mountain bike, Chantell dove head-on into this new discipline and found quick success. In 2013 she earned a third place finish at the Cross Triathlon World Championships, and rounded out the season with another handful of podium finishes. A serious injury in 2014 forced Chantell to retire from racing, and she talks us through the mental and emotional struggles that came with her unexpected exit from the sport.
After her retirement, Chantell went on to study Indigenous Resilience Through Traditional Storytelling in Edmonton, Alberta, and she tells us how these studies are helping her to tell the stories of her ancestors from the Champagne Aishihik First Nation in the Yukon. Chantell also found the world of gravel cycling this year, and she gives us the scoop on all of the great riding around her home in Edmonton.
We’re sending out a big congratulations to all of the Outspoken Women in Triathlon Awards nominees and finalists - and a special shoutout to Alyssa who is a finalist for the Athlete of the year award.

In episode two of our Train Your Mind mini series Vanessa is encouraging us to fail more, but quit less. She explains that the way that we build mental endurance, much like physical endurance, is to endure. But often there is one thing that gets in the way, and that is fear.
Vanessa teaches us what the Motivational Triad is, and why it is important to our mental endurance, and also the difference between failing and quitting. We know that quitting can slow us down, but sometimes failing can be the key to our success. Vanessa helps us learn what is beneath both failing and quitting, and how we can manage both to increase our performance.

On this week’s mini episode, Haley speaks with sport & cultural historian Dr. Jane Hunt. Dr. Hunt is an assistant professor at Bond University and author of Multisport Dreaming: The Foundation of Triathlon in Australia. Last month Dr. Hunt launched her latest project, the Women in Triathlon History (WITH) Project. This project is seeking to analyze women’s participation in triathlon on a very broad level, and to use the narrative of women who are participating in the sport to help inform how we can strategize to better work toward gender equity in triathlon. The WITH Project is seeking input from women who participate in triathlon at all levels - and they need our help. Dr. Hunt is gathering information from women through an online questionnaire on the WITH Project website. Answers can be as detailed or brief as you have time for, but if a written questionnaire is not your cup of tea, you can contact the project through the website to schedule an online interview to speak to Dr. Hunt directly about your experiences in triathlon. Dr. Hunt’s hope is that she will be able to reach as many women as possible so we encourage all of our listeners to participate!
