triathlons

Join me as I peel back the curtain on the internal dialogue during races, the recurring thoughts that push me forward, and the mental strategies that keep me going when the going gets tough.

We'll explore the art of putting out fires efficiently—both in training and in life—and discuss the key takeaways from this enduring journey. What keeps me coming back, and how do I continually excel and achieve my goals?

Spoiler alert: doubt is a constant companion, but I'm learn the art of working through it. Learn how to navigate uncertainty, embrace challenges, and emerge stronger on the other side.

This is more than a race recap; it's a deep dive into the mindset of a seasoned triathlete, a busy mom, and someone who knows that the journey is just as important as the finish line.

Stay tuned for insights, inspiration, and a few surprises along the way. Let's dive into the heart of Ironman 70.3 North Carolina!

When I first met Kathy Murray, I was inspired by her courage and determination to reinvent herself in midlife, facing challenges head-on and turning them into opportunities to grow. From relocating to Germany and navigating life as an expat, to becoming an award-winning cheerleading coach and breaking stereotypes with the Atlanta Tri Sisters, Kathy embodies the spirit of a true Reinvention Rebel.

In today's episode, 62-year young Kathy shares her multi-faceted reinvention journey of overcoming personal obstacles, like learning a new language, dealing with racism, and conquering her fear of swimming to compete in multiple triathlons.

Tune in to hear how Kathy:

✅Used her passion for fitness to find her purpose and calling

✅Navigated racism and language barriers to create an award-winning cheerleading team in Germany

✅Challenged the stereotypes surrounding black people and swimming

✅Turned challenging situations into opportunities for growth

✅Found supportive networks as she reinvented herself

Kathy's story serves as a testament to the importance of resilience, faith, and having a strong support system when navigating life's challenges.

#201 - Misadventures make great stories. Josh has a few of those. OK, he has lots of those! He has enough to fill the three books he's written ,  and he shares a few with us this week. He's not only an author, but a coach, speaker and endurance athlete who has found himself in a few precarious predicaments. You won't want to miss them! All his information can be found on the MRTW website! 

Just a short note: In the interview I talk about doing the Hunter S Thompson Fear & Loathing 50k. I have since dropped out of that race. Hopefully, I can do it next year.

The ULTIMATE Triathlon: 2000km in 12 days! Swimming from Morocco to Spain, then cycling and running to Monaco in 12 days!

Luke Tyburski is one of the most elite ultra-endurance athletes alive! He was named by Forever Sports Magazine as one of the top 50 fittest athletes in the world in 2016.
He has completed the Marathon de Sables a 250km 7-day marathon through the Sahara desert, ran 660km from the bottom of Ireland to the top,  among many, many more.

But behind all the magazine articles, podcasts, and TV interviews, his mental health was plummeting out of control. He struggled with severe depression, binge eating 2-3tubs of ice cream a night, and even got to the point of standing on a bridge debating about taking his own life...

His story is a story of running from pain (literally), finding vulnerability, and the incredible power (positive and negative) of mental strength and resilience.

#184 - Zach Bush runs a lot. He also swims and cycles a lot. One day, he decided he wanted to road race more than trail race. Most people I know go from roads to trails, so I found this reversal interesting and so honest. Zach talks about following what he wants, no matter the trends or what others do. He talks about his hard work maintaining his fitness, and doing the races and workouts that he truly wants.

Emmy was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure in her early 30s.

She underwent grueling 4-hour dialysis sessions twice a week for two years, while waiting for a lifesaving kidney transplant. There were times when she was so exhausted she couldn’t get out of bed.

During these years she faced some of her darkest and most challenging days.

So Emmy began to exercise. She started slowly with gentle swimming. Then she added a boxing class, yoga and weight training, progressively increasing her exercise as her fitness improved.

Training for Fun Runs and triathlons gave Emmy something to focus on during the agonizing wait for a transplant.

On this episode Emmy shares her incredible story with Gab and Sarah.

How many times have you felt stuck or like giving up on your goals or challenges? On the podcast this week, I offer three ways to help you get unstuck.

The first thing I suggest is asking “why did I start?”. Remembering why you started and taping back into what you wanted in the beginning, will help recharge you. 

As you move through the three ways to get unstuck, you will get back into action and move closer to your finish line or the next level version of yourself. 

This is the exact thing we are working on inside of Team Elevate.

If you are still living, there is still room to grow, and you grow from challenges. 
Embrace them and ask yourself “what did I learn from my last challenge?”

 Oftentimes when life is easy, we aren’t growing. 

Life will hand you challenges or you can choose challenges, but either way it is the challenges that change you into the next version of yourself. 

Both of them help you face life better in the future.  

I share in this podcast how the challenges I chose helped me face the challenges that life chose for me.
