What your all here for - Joining us today is Beth McKenzie; IRONMAN & 70.3 Champion, Chief Creator of Wyn Republic and Malo Republic triathlon apparel lines, mother of two and wife to Pro triathlete Luke McKenzie and SHE. Has just announced she’ll be doing her FINAL Pro Triathlon race in Challenge Roth This summer.
With a legendary lineup expected here at Challenge Roth this summer Beth has been training harder now more than ever to make her last race an epic one and I am excited to have her here to talk about it! This will be her first-time racing Challenge Roth BUT this isn’t her first time at the event. Back in 2014 she watched her husband Luke compete in the pro field from the sidelines with her 6-week-old daughter. If any of you watched We are Triathletes movie on Challenge Roth then you’ll recognize Luke was one of the athletes they highlighted in the movie and followed him along his journey to Roth!
So for the first time listeners, a bit of a backstory here with the Road to Roth Series – at the beginning of August 2019 I announced that I’ll be doing my first full distance triathlon at Challenge Roth in 2020, and since then, I found that a lot of listeners were actually on a similar path; whether it was with Roth or another race; but they too were on their crazy journey to their first full distance triathlon and looking forward to hearing content specific to the full distance!
Of course, never having actually done the distance before, I figured everyone could benefit the most in a series where I interview top professional triathletes and coaches that will be able to provide a ton of training tips specific to the full distance as well as give us the motivation and insight we need to help us maximize our performances come race day!
So Beth has joined us here today as we delve into her thoughts and anticipation on what could be one of the most memorable races of her career. This will be her final pro triathlon race and she is aiming for a speedy sub-9 hour goal so I hope you join me in cheering her on and sending her positive vibes and warm wishes for her race!
Some other themes we explore include her incredible story behind her triathlon & athletic-wear apparel brands, training throughout pregnancy, getting into triathlon without a swimming background in her late 20’s, and we even go over some sound training advice and motivation that you can use for your next race!
This is an awesome podcast episode so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did; and now… let’s get into it!
