Putting them in the best position for success on race day and beyond.”   “We are continuously looking into new ways to enhance our athlete's journey and training experience, and we are excited to find a partner in TriDot who is a proven industry leader in training technology that benefits both coaches and athletes,” said Andrew Messick, President and CEO for The IRONMAN Group. “Through the tools and resources available, this partnership will help allow our athletes take the guess work out of race preparation so that they can have the successful and rewarding race day they deserve.”   TriDot also provides extensive ongoing support to its global coach community which includes IRONMAN legends like Mark Allen (6x IRONMAN World Champion), Michellie Jones (IRONMAN World Champion & Olympic Silver Medalist), and Mirinda “Rinny” Carfrae (3x IRONMAN World Champion).   "I'm so excited about this partnership. With TriDot, my athletes are consistently getting fitter and faster. I wouldn't coach without it," says Mirinda Carfrae. Mark Allen adds, "On the surface TriDot looks simple.  Underneath that hood is the best training you'll find in triathlon. Ever. Anywhere."   Strava introduces messaging   The problem with Strava messaging is not Strava messaging, it's an environment where women don't feel safe exercising alone or existing online   Coaching Tip: How (and Why) to Test?   This week was a "Test Week" in my training plan. Test weeks are built into the Maintaining and Development Phases of an effective training plan. Tests should be excluded during Race Specific Training where the focus moves to rehearsing and executing at the fitness levels attained during the Development Phase.   The phase cycle looks like 4 weeks of build followed by a Test week. The 4-week build progressively increases the stress load. The Test Week reduces the overall load of the training that week, but inserting each swim, bike and run tests into the week. This also makes the Test week a Recovery week.   Monday - regular swim workout Tuesday - FTP Test (FTP Study: 20-Minute Power / 5-Minute Power) Wednesday - 5K Run Test (10 minute warmup; 5K for time same course every time; 10-20 minute cooldown) Thursday - easy bike Friday - Swim CSS CSS or critical swim speed is the pace at which you swim a 1500 time trial. This is quite simple but an effective way to prepare for long races. Warmup, priming 200, 400 for time, 10 minute recovery, 200 for time CSS (m/sec) = 200 / (time taken for 400m – time taken for 200m)   Benefits of Testing Keeps your training zones current so you are training the correct energy zones Regular testing familiarizes you with the discomfort and pain of pushing high intensity Familiar with all your paces and the relative RPE Helps execute your race pacing See change over time (sometimes that's progress, sometimes not, good to know)   What if you don't know or don't do Training above your body's real zones can leave you overtrained, burned out or injured Training below your body's real zones can leave you under trained, underperformance, or injury on race day for exceeding your abilities Stagnate if adaptions start to happen but training zones are not updated to set up the next progression of development Won't really know where that limit is and how to press to your performance limit in races   Video: What happened to Heather Jackson? As one chapter closes, a new one opens. After 15 years as a professional triathlete, Heather Jackson decided to challenge herself in new ways, build a fresh community, and push her own and other's expectations of what is humanly possible.   In June, Heather tackled the Unbound Gravel 200, often hailed as the "Super Bowl" of gravel bike racing, and the iconic Western States Endurance Run, the world's oldest 100-mile trail race. Facing these demanding events with just a two-week gap between them, the question looms: how will Heather approach her most ambitious goal yet?   #Wahooligan #WahooFrontiers #HeatherJackson Wahoo Frontiers: Heather Jackson

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett   Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show"   In this episode of One Moment Longer with Greg Bennett, I am welcoming back a legend of the triathlon world, Mirinda Carfrae.   Mirinda (or 'Rinny') is a three-time Ironman World Champion, an Ironman 70.3 World Champion, and one of the most formidable athletes ever to compete. She's a professional triathlete who illustrates the mantra, "Success comes to those who endure just one moment longer."   Rinny was one of the first interviews I did for this podcast three and a half years ago, in episode 6, February 2020.   Mirinda has recently made the tough decision to retire, and we'll be discussing this significant shift in her life, how she came to that decision, and what the process was like. We will explore her most memorable moments, discuss the highs and lows, and get a glimpse into some of her most epic workouts.   We'll discuss the evolution of the sport, how technology has changed the game, and her thoughts on the future of triathlon. And, of course, what life looks like for her after professional racing.   She's a great friend, and I'm excited to get this chance to catch up.   Originally from Australia, and now residing in Boulder, CO Mirinda is a one of the world's most successful triathletes. Her 2007 70.3 World Championships win secured her ticket to the Ironman World Championships in Kona. In 2009 she set a course run record and finished 2nd in her first Kona appearance. She continued her dominance and went on to win three Ironman World Championships in 2010, 2013, and 2014. Her 2013 win included the third fastest marathon of the day including the men's field. Her blistering run course record from 2014 still stands today (2:50:26).   Mirinda is a threat at every race she enters with over 50 wins at major events throughout the world. Her Ironman 70.3 World Championship title and three Ironman World Titles and seven podium finishes in Kona in the span of a decade marks her as one the of the greatest triathletes of all time.   Growing up in Queensland, Australia, Mirinda Carfrae, widely known as “Rinny”, was a sporty child, with basketball her primary focus. At 5' 3”, however, her true athletic potential remained untapped until a high school triathlon coach noticed her speed on the court and suggested she give multisport a go. At the age of 19 she competed in her first triathlon and shortly thereafter–with no prior background in swimming, cycling or running–made the 2001 Australian Junior Elite Team.   Rinny represented Australia at the ITU Triathlon World Championships from 2001-2005, twice earning silver medals (2002 & 2003) before turning her attention to long distance racing. A victory at the Nice Long Course Triathlon (2004) and a silver medal at the ITU Long Course World Championship (2005) were early indicators that endurance was her forte; a third-place podium finish (2006) and ultimately a world title at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship (2007) confirmed Rinny as one of the top talents on the non-draft racing circuit.   That victory was pivotal, not only as a precursor to Rinny's numerous half iron-distance wins to that date, but also to punch her first ever entry ticket to the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, an honor she postponed until 2009. That October, as a wide-eyed Ironman rookie, Rinny stepped off the plane onto the Big Island and was quickly swept up in the race week frenzy, heralded as the next great hope for the title at triathlon's “holy grail” despite having yet to prove her prowess at the distance.   But prove it she did, using her finely-honed foot speed to post a course run record and secure second place. The following year, Rinny's constant drive to improve resulted in her first title as Ironman World Champion. In the years that followed, despite race day struggles that might derail a lesser athlete, Rinny never strayed from the podium steps in Kona, earning second (2011) and third (2012) before regaining her crown in 2013. In so doing she struck fear in the hearts of competitors both male and female, posting the third fastest marathon overall (2:50:38), a new run record enroute to scoring the women's Kona course record in 8:52:14.   2014 was a year filled with exciting new adventures for Rinny. Her winter wedding (December 2013) to fellow triathlete and Ironman Champion Timothy O'Donnell marked the start of a thrilling new chapter in her personal life. Professionally, the reigning Ironman World Champion expanded her horizons to Europe, claiming victory against a highly competitive field at Germany's iconic iron-distance race, Challenge Roth, and confirming that all eyes will be on her yet again in Kona.   Links Be sure and check out bennettendurance.com Find Greg on social media: Twitter @GregBennett1 Instagram @GregBennettWorld   And follow Mirinda Carfrae: website: https://www.mirindacarfrae.com/ twitter: https://twitter.com/mirindacarfrae?lang=en instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirindacarfrae/?hl=en facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rinnytriathlon/   Timestamps 9:06 - Winning Kona 3 times firmly places Mirinda at the top of the sport of Triathlon.

This year, Herring will return to defend her title.   In our preview below you can find everything you need to know, from start times to streaming information, plus a preview of the professional women's field.   Start time and how to watch live The race takes place on Sunday 22 May 2022.   The Pro race will start at 0650 local time (Eastern). That corresponds to 1150 in the UK and 1250 CET.   The race will be shown live, with the event the fourth of 12 IRONMAN 70.3 events to be broadcast in 2023 in a partnership with Outside TV. You will be able to watch for free via web, mobile or connected TV app.   As always, the ever reliable IRONMAN Tracker is the perfect data addition to support your viewing. If you haven't got it on your phone already, where have you been?!   Pro Women In the professional women's field, Canadian Paula Findlay will line up for her third race in a month as she looks to take her first 70.3 win of the season.   Paula Findlay PTO European Open 2023 run [Photo credit PTO / Darren Wheeler] Findlay, currently ranked PTO #4, will be racing off the back of an impressive fifth place finish at the PTO Tour European Open in Ibiza, where she raced strongly from start to finish.   Defending champion Hering will hope for another win in Tennessee, but against a field of this calibre, which has a strength of field rating of 83.37, might struggle, with her best result this season fifth at IRONMAN 70.3 St George.   The winner from that race, Jeanni Metzler, is set to go again after that emotional return to the top of a podium, after a long period when she doubted she would ever race again.   She told us this week: “It's kind of a quick turnaround but I've decided I just want to toe the line again. I haven't raced that much in the past 18 months so it's going to be good practice to just maybe improve some things on a different course and in different conditions. So I'm looking forward to racing again.”   Along with Skye Moench (second) and Danielle Lewis (third), the full St George podium from that North American Championship race will go head-to-head again.   Metzler Moench Lewis IRONMAN 70.3 St George podium 2023 [Photo credit: Jacob Kupferman / Getty Images for IRONMAN] [Photo credit: Jacob Kupferman / Getty Images for IRONMAN] The event could also potentially see the season debut of Sarah True, who as if balancing professional triathlon and family was not enough, is also fitting in a full-time university course! Little seems to slow True down though, the two-time Olympian winning both IRONMAN Lake Placid and IRONMAN Arizona in 2022.   Advertisements Prize Money: What's on the line? The prize purse on offer this weekend is $25,000 – with each of the winners collecting a $7,500 share of that total.   In addition to money, there will be a total of two qualifying slots for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Lahti, Finland in August.   The total funds will be paid eight-deep, as follows:   $7,500 $5,000 $3,750 $3,000 $2,000 $1,500 $1,250 $1,000   Pro Race Schedule - https://files.constantcontact.com/a202847d001/ab8d8718-1cce-485f-9b8b-d6f69d45eccd.pdf   What's New in the 303: The Cyclist-Lawyer Megan Hottman Featured in The Engine Inside Movie By Kate Agathon   May 17, 2023, Cycling is an emotional experience. It can be joyful. It can be heartbreaking. It can be empowering.   Just ask Golden-based lawyer Megan Hottman (aka The Cyclist-Lawyer), who is one of six bicyclists featured in The Engine Inside, the newest cycling film coming out this summer by Anthill Films.   Narrated by Phil Ligget, The Engine Inside shares the stories of bicyclists from all over the globe who reveal the unique power of the bicycle to change lives and build a better world. “I feel incredibly honored to be featured as one of the six people in this film, when I know that Anthill Films had a long list of amazing humans with amazing stories to choose from,” said Hottman.   Hottman is well-known in the cycling community for her dedication to making Colorado a better place for bicyclists. Her tireless work on behalf of all bicyclists has resulted in numerous, and hard-fought positive outcomes for the cycling community.   She notably represented the family of U.S. Masters road race champion (and friend and former teammate) Gwen Inglis who was killed by a driver in 2021 and was awarded an unprecedented $353 million verdict in a civil lawsuit against the driver.   The Engine Inside offers a rare glimpse into how Hottman experiences the world as a bicyclist- both in public and private life.   Specifically, the film captures Hottman at her most vulnerable- at a ghost bike dedication for Inglis shortly after she was struck and killed by a driver. Or, when Hottman herself is hit by a pickup truck driver and suffers serious injuries.   Hottman said, “One part I am happiest about is the inclusion of Gwen's story in my section- and that now she'll be known and honored globally everywhere the film is shown. It's one small way to keep her name and legacy alive and shared.”   “I'm not afraid to show my emotions -on film or off- as we're all in this human experience together and it's hard. To pretend otherwise does our experiences a disservice. I am who I am, real and raw, and at times emotional. I'm glad the film captures that range of emotions not just in my story but in other character stories as well,” she continued.   While a bicycle can have a positive impact on physical and mental health, it can also be utilized as a powerful tool for social change, as Hottman demonstrates.   By deconstructing the lived experiences of bicyclists, The Engine Inside urges audiences to consider what can be accomplished by simply riding a bike. What change can we make every time we get on the saddle?   Transcending geographical borders, economic circumstances, and language barriers, the transformative power of the bicycle to those who use it in their daily lives is inspiring.   “We were looking for really well rounded people that had an amazing story to tell, and that each had a connection to the bicycle from a different perspective,” explained The Engine Inside director Darcy Wittenburg.   “Although there is some overlap with some of them, they each represent some of the major ways bicycles help humanity from mental health to transportation and everything in between,” she continued.   The narratives shared by The Engine Inside are as diverse as its six participants. Their stories confront a culture that revolves around cars, and encompass global issues that range from climate change, more livable cities, socio-economic inequality, and indigenous trauma.   Despite often formidable personal and systematic obstacles to overcome, each bicyclist used the bicycle as a catalyst for hope and agency.   Threading their powerful stories into a cohesive narrative was also a challenge. “There's so many ways to look at this as it was a challenging project all around! Narrowing down the vast world of cycling into an 80-minute film was probably the first and ongoing challenge for us,” said Wittenburg.   “The main motivation was to focus the film on personal stories that many people can relate to. It was a tricky balance keeping the topic of cycling in the background so the characters' connection to cycling could shine through,” she added.   Sponsored by Hottman Law Office, The Engine Inside Golden premiere will take place 5:30 to 8 PM on June 29 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased here. Proceeds will benefit Bike JeffCo.   “We're really excited to be part of sharing a film that has the potential to change how bicyclists are perceived! The bicycle is truly a vehicle for making change, both in individuals and communities,” said Bike Jeffco Chair, Jan Stevenson.   “From the time you are a new rider, you learn how to be resilient, how to navigate, how to solve problems. You build confidence in your ability to get things done. These stories take that confidence and show how to elevate these abilities to bigger solutions to bigger problems,” she continued.   Stevenson remarked how fitting it was that The Engine Inside's overarching theme intersects with the mission of Bike Jeffco. “We want to share the joy of biking! The shared global stories really highlight the wide range of positive impacts that simply riding a bike and having access to bikes, can bring to a community,” she said. “Biking is fun, exhilarating, and hard work all at once! The sense of freedom and empowerment that comes with the ability to control where and when we go places is huge,” concluded Stevenson.   Bike Jeffco will be holding a Meet and Greet at Colorado Tap House on June 10 from 10 AM to 2 PM.

“If you are able to be present and adjust your expectations in the moment, you can overcome a lot of things. If you dwell on what your expectations are when they're not met, it really easily derails you.” Nikki Bartlett and Rebecca Milnes join Coach Morgon Latimore to discuss how triathlon affects their relationship, racing during COVID-19 precautions, and how both give back to the sport of triathlon, with Nikki as a guide for paralympic athletes and Rebecca coaching them.

"It's not just about the training, it's about really rediscovering who I am, who my family is. It's awesome,” says noted outdoorsman and professional fisherman Conway Bowman in a wide-ranging conversation with Coach Morgon Latimore, an IRONMAN coach, US Marine, and triathlete who brings his unique perspective and energy to the Beyond Podcast series. Conway and Coach Morgon dive into Conway's triathlon training, the importance of family, and lessons learned from his father.

“When people are passionate, they will respond, either negatively or positively. If they don't respond at all, that means they didn't give a crap. Be yourself, keep writing content that drives response,” says Bob Babbitt, the IRONMAN Hall of Fame inductee while reminiscing on the best advice he received as a young triathlon journalist. In a wide ranging conversation with Eric Gilsenan on the Beyond Podcast, the two friends discuss Bob's childhood in North Chicago, racing his first IRONMAN in Hawaii in 1980, and how he became involved with supporting challenged athletes.

“As a young boy, I wanted to be one thing only—a professional athlete. What I was learning at that young age is the concept of rejection, that no one wanted me. It's the worse feeling in the world so I started to run, because no one can cut you from running,” says Dave McGillivray, in a conversation with Eric Gilsenan on the Beyond Podcast. The two longtime friends discuss Dave's early motivations to begin endurance training, his history with IRONMAN, and his memories as long-time race organizer.

“Once you're out on a training session or once you're out on a race course being a father has been a huge motivation, an extra motivation on a hard day to keep going and try to turn it into a good day,” says Patrik Nilsson, who, along with Ben Kanute, join Eric Gilsenan on the Beyond Podcast to discuss their lives as professional triathletes while also being the fathers of young children. Ben and Patrik also go into detail on how being a parent changed how they view training and racing, the influences their own parents played in their careers and their best dad jokes.

In this very special episode of The Empower Hour with Katie & Sarah, we first toast Katie's birthday (with Cody Rigsby's Fun and Flouncies, ofc!) and chat about some summer fun. Then, we bring on multi-time Ironman World Champion Mirinda Carfrae for a candid conversation about being an athlete mom, and all that entails, but balancing family and training time, her racing plans for the future, and her secret for recharging after hard sessions (hint: It's all about the family nap!). Thank you to Athletic Greens for supporting this episode!

“I no longer have Coach Dan, now I have Coach Baby True and Coach Baby True is like today yeah a swim is okay, we can go for a swim. Today, I think you should take a nap instead and I think alright Baby True you're the boss and for me that has been a huge shift.” Sarah True is getting ready to join the long list of IRONMAN Athletes who have recently become parents. Sarah sits down with Chelsea Sodaro to discuss how training schedules fluctuate during pregnancy amongst a long list of topics in this episode of the Beyond Podcast.

It's time to say goodbye to Witsup. The thing is, I don't want to write “it's with a heavy heart that we say goodbye … “ because my heart has done so much heavy lifting the last few weeks, if not months, as I have come to the incredibly tough decision to close down WITSUP and move on. I want to say that I'm finally in a space that it's with a light and happy heart that I can close this chapter, be excited about the next one and truly celebrate all of the awesomeness that WITSUP has achieved over a decade. From day one, WITSUP was a fight for improving the media landscape and the community for women in triathlon and sport, and we achieved so much in this space. But, for me, I now need to move on and find what lights my fire again. We decided to give WITSUP a send off via a podcast, so if you want to join us for an emotional trip down memory lane, we asked some of our faves to help share some stories. Hot tip: Don't edit your own finale podcast - it was brutal, but a beautiful thing. Thanks to Linsey Corbin, Belinda Granger, Mirinda Carfrae, Laura Siddall, Jordan Blanco, Meredith Kessler, Caroline Steffen, Rachel Joyce and Lizzy Blatchford. So what's next? I'm not entirely sure, but I know I'll dive in with the passion and drive I had when we launched WITSUP. And stay tuned, maybe the podcast will be back but will just be slightly different. Who knows. But firstly, and most importantly, I'm going to change the batteries in Frankie's toy that I've been telling her I'll do for weeks, steal a few extra cuddles, and probably have a gin. Thank you everyone so so much for all of your support over the years. It's been a hell of a ride.

“I think that somehow the physical competences that we get through pursuing sports and athletics builds an amazing amount of confidence. That confidence allows us to succeed in other aspects of life.” Chelsea Sodaro caught up with her favorite triathlete, Dr. Marci Snodgrass. Dr. Snodgrass also happens to be Chelsea's mom. They discuss Marci's life in sport, and the barriers that she was able to break in this episode of the Beyond Podcast!

100 episodes, a "few" world championship wins, and two kids later, we caught up with the legend, Mirinda 'Rinny' Carfrae. As she’s balancing being a mum of two and getting back into the swing of training after giving birth to her second child, the fire in Rinny is burning as brightly as ever. We can’t imagine celebrating 100 episodes of the Witsup podcast with anyone but Rinny. We look forward to whatever her next moves are, whatever they may be. Fall in love with Rinny all over again, like we do each time we chat to her. Quotes highlights include: “I remind myself that I only can do what I can do.” “I’m at peace if I don’t win. I really want to win, and perform at the highest level, but I'm okay with myself regardless.” “I can’t help myself. Even when I'm retired, I’ll still tune in and see what’s going on. But now, it’s relevant to me. I have to compete against these girls!” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * EAT FOR YOU GIVE A BIT PROGRAM - code WITSUP10 eatforyou.com.au/ Use the code WITSUP10 at checkout for a 10% discount.

“The most important thing is that you have the surrounding people who support you especially in the first years and that you can train without thinking all of the time if the baby is doing well.” Chelsea Sodaro caught up with Daniela Bleymehl, a Top 10 finisher at the 2019 IRONMAN World Championship, to discuss being a mother and the importance of having a strong support group while training and traveling, in this episode of the Beyond Podcast!

After having two children, she details her outlook on triathlon, life, and how she's training to return to triathlon racing in 2021. One thing is clear, Mirinda's competitive spirit is very much alive, and we expect to see her claiming a spot on the podium soon.

“I would be out running (pregnant), and people would look at me like I had two heads. I remember that was the first question that people would ask me, can you still exercise?” Chelsea Sodaro caught up with Age Group IRONMAN World Champion triathlete Amy Farrell to discuss how the resources available to expecting mothers, who also happen to be athletes, have evolved over the years.

"What are the other aspects of my life where I can really try to make these small… And it's marginal gains, right, these little fractions of a percent. But they add up. And when you're at that level and everybody's super fit, it's those little details that are gonna make a difference."Today's guest is Tim O'Donnell, the fastest American in history at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.So do you want to know how to run a sub-8 hour Ironman in Kona? Easy. You chase happiness the entire way! At the heart of Tim O'Donnell's success as a pro triathlete, is his journey towards perfecting his ability to stay present and his commitment to focus on the details. So many of our fellow runners share an admiration for those who compete in triathlons, and specifically at the Ironman distance, because it's a true test of how much one person can really endure. Our conversation with Tim will leave you in awe. Not just because he has accomplished so much as a pro triathlete, but maybe even more so for what he has learned along the way to the top of his sport. There are a lot of lessons throughout this conversation with Tim. So grab your favorite pen and notebook and get ready to jot a lesson or two (or three) that resonate with you!Show Notes(3:39) Babies, burst pipes, and training—the everyday challenges all athletes face…(5:28) What led to the Ironman?(9:32) Deciding to go big as a professional long distanced triathlete, and a very difficult decision to leave the Navy…(13:18) Stubbornness, excelling at the Ironman distance and the most challenging leg of the triathlon…(15:36) “I remember running three or four miles, and at the beginning thinking, this is impossible, this is so hard. But that's where I put my energy. I put so much energy into running because I wanted to be a triathlete.”(17:33) A shift in mindset because it's adapt or die…(20:17) The power of biohacks…(23:53) The satisfaction and confidence that comes from knowing you gave it your all…(25:41) A bumpy, rocky road...(29:42) “Everybody has this experience in the race, that's not going well. You start beating yourself up about why it didn't go well; maybe I started too fast, maybe I didn't prepare enough, maybe I didn't fuel. Right? Maybe I didn't do whatever, but you just get into this mental cycle of negative self-talk and blaming yourself, and you sometimes have to find something. It sounds like it was seeing your wife and your daughter that triggered you to stop that cycle and start a better, more positive one.”—Bryan Green(31:08) Adversity, more adversity on the road to Kona…(37:05) Staying in the pocket, executing the plan, and not forcing results…(39:23) Picking a pace versus going up against a competitor in the very long Ironman distance…(42:49) “So all of a sudden, something that seemed impossible is now the benchmark. And all the guys are setting their eyes on that benchmark, and they're stepping up. The bar gets raised, and the competition goes with it.”(44:59) Closing the gap and advice for others who want to excel...(48:40) BONUS: Tim shares why he chose UCAN and how it fuels his ability to perform.ReferencesMirinda Carfrae (Tim's wife) - websiteIronman World Championships 2019 Results - Ironman.comGuestTim O'Donnell - website | Instagram | TwitterTim's fav UCAN product: Chocolate Energy BarTim's most used UCAN product: Plain SuperStarch Energy TubHosts:Jon Rankin - gobemore.co | @chasejonrankinBryan Green - maketheleapbook.com | @maketheleapbookLearn More:UCAN - ucan.co | @genucanYour Personal Best Awaits

We put up the conversation with Tony talking about riding the entire 112 mile bike course on the Queen K before recording this podcast, and then just into a great conversation on the passion and speed at the intersection of motorsports and cycling.

A special bonus episode where Siri tells her story to Tony Robbins on his podcast about her journey to World Champion Triathlete and coach. You can listen to the original recording here https://www.tonyrobbins.com/podcasts/letting-go-fear/Where do you go from failure? The most successful people in the world have recorded massive failures, and, for many of them, failure was the greatest influence in their ascent to greatness. Why?It comes down to perspective; failure is only the end if you choose to see it that way.We all have the power to choose. We can't control events, but we can choose what to focus on, we can choose what those events mean, and we can choose what to do now. These three decisions control our lives. So it is not the conditions of our lives, but rather the decisions that determine our destiny.In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, hosts Tony Robbins and Mary Buckheit explore how to shift your focus to being true to yourself, bouncing back from defeat, and embracing who you are.They speak to their friend and hero, Siri Lindley. A former 2-time ITU World Champion, Siri was recently inducted to the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame. She is a Brown University graduate and has coached field hockey and lacrosse at Ivy League schools.In her coaching career, Siri has helped a number of Olympic and Ironman athletes win championships, including Mirinda Carfrae. While we were fascinated by her incredible success, we invited her to the podcast to learn more about her unique life experiences.In this episode, Siri opens up about fear, suffering, recruiting, training, triathlons, coaching and love. She explains to Tony and Mary how these life challenges ultimately became her greatest gifts.Siri and Tony help us to understand that to be truly great at anything, you must always start with yourself.Show Notes[00:30] Tony Robbins on hunger, drive, and emotional strength[06:00] Introduction to Mary B[06:30] An introduction to Siri Lindley[11:50] The allure of a triathlon[12:10] Team sports vs. individual competition[12:50] Starting out (“I couldn't swim.”)[13:58] Siri's first triathlon (“I was a disaster”)[17:00] Failure either destroys you or drives you[18:20] Where does the hunger comes from?[19:30] Desperate to feel good; wanting to like herself[20:30] Keeping the fear at bay[22:30] From “crappy” to World No. 1[24:30] Lesson: “You as a human being are far more important than you as an athlete”[25:45] Coach Brett Sutton gets into the mind of the athlete[26:30] Olympic trials 2000[28:30] No excuses: “I choked.”[30:25] “Impossible” training in Switzerland[31:20] Tony on Wantrepreneur vs. Entrepreneur[32:15] Training in Converse and travel clothes…in the Alps[34:30] “Jane supposedly sucks”…and she kicked my butt[36:20] Mom: “If you can't hack it, come home.”[36:50] Everyday he was scaring me to death.

It's a special mom-specific episode of the GU Energy Labs Pinnacle Podcast, and well...neither Yuri nor Fatty are exactly qualified to do this particular show. But you know who is? Sarah Bowen Shea of AnotherMotherRunner.com fame. She and three-time Ironman champ Mirinda Carfrae talk about what it's like to juggle being an athlete and a mother at the same time. Mirinda talks about the tradeoffs (say goodbye to recovery time, say hello to renewed focus and purpose, asking for help, and juggling schedules), as well as her game plan for the World Championships. For anyone who is — or knows — a mother who's also a determined athlete, this is a can't miss episode of the Pinnacle.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code)     --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: ====================================== [contact-form 3 "AskBen"] ====================================== Melanie asks: I need advice on how to reduce estrogen dominance. I'm not interested (at least right now) in using a progesterone cream. I'd like to reduce estrogen naturally. Which foods will help reduce and which foods will increase the problem? I avoid soy like the plague and I eat a mostly organic, whole foods diet. I exercise (maybe not enough) and I try to avoid drinking from plastic and avoid parabens in cosmetics. Also, I read that high fat diet should be avoided. Does this apply to healthy fats? I eat lots of fats, but the good ones (love nuts and seeds). Any advice is appreciated since PMS derails my exercise and healthy eating. Joy asks: I'm doing my 1st Sprint Triathlon in July. I own a stationary bike and was wondering if and or what the big difference is between using an indoor trainer or a stationary bike? Was thinking of buying an indoor trainer but didn't know if I should spend the money when I Do own a SB. Chris asks: Do you have any advice for general Achilles health?  I've had to modify a lot of the hill training simply because after I do the hills my Achilles will ache.  I've also noticed (all the sudden) that at distances greater than 13-14 miles I start getting achilles pain. Suzanne asks: I saw that you were taking Phenocane as a COX2 inhibitor. In your opinion how would you compare this to Saligesic or White Willow stem bark for pain management? And for inflammation comparing Boswellia and Proteolytic enzymes (and of course fish oils -omega 3's)? I know that everyone is different and you have to be willing to be your own test dummy sometimes, but it's helpful to gain insight from others. Also, do you recommend a specific high quality supplement company for Phenocane? Brian asks: I noticed a lot of pre workout supplements have 1,3 dimethylamylamine is this a safe ? I currently take Jack3d with the following ingredients: Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Creatine Monohydrate, Beta Alanine, Caffeine, 1,3-Dimethylamylamine (Geranium [Stem]), Schizandrol A Rich asks: What are your thoughts on the supplements: Juice Plus & Mona Vie from a general health point of view? I have been taken these two supplements for awhile and as a new listener I am thinking about maybe switching to or at least adding the Living Fuel Supergreens to my diet. Jack asks: I'm 17 years old, and for as long as I can remember I've had very shaky hands. Usually not a big deal, but I'm a competitive rock climber and going into the Army, which both require steady hands. I've been to many doctors with little success. Any diet or supplementation advice that might help? I eat pretty healthy, especially for my age, but my diet still isn't perfect. I've been trying Natural Calm Magnesium for a little while, but no success yet. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
