In this Age Grouper for Life episode, Colin interview Leslie Battle. Leslie shares how she got into triathlon in 2009 after being inspired by a friend's Ironman race. She started with a sprint triathlon and was hooked, going on to complete over 350 triathlons, including winning numerous national championships as an Athena athlete. Leslie discusses how triathlon helped her lose 100 pounds and find a sense of community and belonging that was missing in her life. She also discusses her training approach and mindset, favorite races and experiences, and future goals and aspirations. Thanks for joining the podcast, Leslie! --- Show Notes: Advocating for Athena/Clydesdale Representation @ 8:07 Leslie has been a vocal advocate for greater recognition and equal treatment of Athena and Clydesdale athletes within the sport of triathlon. She has worked tirelessly to ensure these categories have a place at national championships and other major events, fighting for parity in terms of awards, athlete of the year honors, and qualification for Team USA. Leslie's efforts have helped open more doors for Athena and Clydesdale athletes to compete at the highest levels. Training Approach and Mindset @ 31:34 Leslie discusses her training approach, noting that she prefers shorter, more frequent swim sessions rather than long, infrequent swims. She emphasizes the importance of balancing triathlon with other aspects of life and not letting it become an unhealthy obsession. Leslie also shares her perspective on the mental side of the sport, encouraging athletes to celebrate their accomplishments rather than focusing on shortcomings. Favorite Races and Experiences @ 52:47 When asked about her favorite race, Leslie fondly recalls the Musselman Triathlon, which had a strong community feel with local bands, wine prizes, and a pre-race lecture in the concert hall. She also discusses her experiences racing internationally, including the World Championships in Australia, and how the logistics of traveling with a bike have become more challenging in recent years. Looking Ahead @ 55:25 As Leslie has gotten older, her drive to compete in certain high-profile events like Kona has waned, though she remains passionate about the sport. She is exploring new challenges, such as gravel races, and focusing on enjoying the journey rather than chasing specific time goals or accolades. Leslie emphasizes the importance of staying active and engaged in the sport, even as priorities and interests evolve over time.

Comedian Leslie Battle stops by and hilarity ensues!

Ed and Day try to convince their latest guest to embrace her superhero-like name: Captain Battle. Listen in to find out what comedienne Leslie Battle thinks of their antics before she schools them both with the experience that has come from her years as a woman and as a veteran. Now, as a comic, she explores life as a “mother, soldier, divorcee, and performer.” The interview expands well beyond that scope as Ms. Battle discusses her life as a Black woman; at times, the conversation is analytical and thoughtful before shifting to humorous fun, in the way that comics do best. At all times, the interview is a fast-paced and compelling listen as the stage-loving trio playfully competes for airtime. Stay tuned until the closing segment to hear why Leslie chose stand-up comedy and how it has been therapeutic for her. And listen especially close as Day asks, “What’s the cougar scene looking like?” You’ll find the Drinking Partners in their true habitat during the last twenty minutes as it gets rowdy and hilarious.

As an award winning podcast, The Default Setting gets FIVES of requests from potential guests asking to be on the show. Sadly most of these guests never make it to air because they never return our messages. So what do you do with a podcast with no guests? CLIP SHOW. But not just any clip show, a NEVER BEFORE AIRED clip show! Featuring the pre-show commentaries of Cody Cooper, Leslie Battle, Zach Shildwachter, AJ DiCosimo and Ray Roberts! Additionally, we got so drunk/high for this week's show that we forgot how long we'd recorded so the episode is only 37 minutes. IT'S ABOUT QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.

Pick a topic du jour. A topic that's spicy. A topic that causes debate. A topic that is inexplicably divisive. We talk about it this week when guest Leslie Battle joins us to discuss her default setting: rambler. On deck for discussion: Chad Ochocinco, the state of Texas, the state of Florida, the state of Ohio, the Army, guns, edibles, time travel, and literally at least 10 other topics I can't remember right now.

Leslie Battle is an advocate for women in sport, specifically Athena triathletes - women triathlon competitors who weigh no less than 165 pounds. Why? Because she is one of them. A decade ago, Leslie tipped the scale at somewhere near 300 pounds. A few events occurred that triggered her to change her life. Because she doesn’t do things partway, she decided to sign up for a half marathon with a week of training – her goal was to make the 3.5 hour cutoff. She went 3:28 and this little thing called momentum had begun. Today Leslie is one of the most accomplished Athena triathletes ever. Not only does she own seven Athena age group or overall national titles, she has been the overall female winner of many races including the East Bay 5k where she even beat all the men to win it outright! I will tell you right now that I have never won a race outright! Leslie is intense, passionate and committed to helping other women find the strength, courage and confidence she has discovered through sport. By day, Leslie has been a corporate attorney since 1995. Type-A all the way, Leslie figured out how to change her life's trajectory, race at the top level of amateurism and attract big time sponsors, all while maintaining her high-powered legal career. She is truly a champion of women who seek support while making their own changes. Leslie is the epitome of authentic. She celebrates her successes and doesn't hide her failures. This magic combination makes her an inspirational yet approachable heroine for so many others.

Columbus comedian Leslie Battle is no stranger to struggle. What makes her special is the ability to make others laugh with her at life’s trials and oddities. Listen in as we discuss the decidedly unfunny event that led her to comedy, … Continue reading →

In this episode I bring you a very strong woman who I am fortunate to call a friend. Finding herself diminished in a romantic relationship and close to 300lbs not so many years ago, Leslie fell into a mindset of low self esteem and self-sabotage. She shares her story of lifting herself out of the darkness and after only a few visits to the gym, signing up for her first half marathon. Questioned by the registrant, who thought for sure she meant to sign up for the 5k distance, Leslie encountered her first of many subtle prejudice-like speed bumps about her size and athletic capabilities. She brings a unique perspective based on her experience as a competitive and much decorated triathlete and duathlete who races in the athena category (women weighing 165lbs or more). Deemed in the multi-sport community as an athena advocate, Leslie is the founder of the Athena Triathletes 1,300+ member facebook group. A social network family she describes as her "soul". She is beyond dedicated, competitive, intelligent and beautiful inside and out. Despite being a compact version of her previous self she shares openly about her inability to always believe in herself and what she often sees when she looks in the mirror.
