    What has gold medalist Flora Duffy been up to? And what does she think about all the pro race series?

    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 weekendWhich pro series we preferWhat race Flora did recentlyHow she manifests confidence during racesAnd 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 happens after you achieve your wildest dreams? with Sika Henry

    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."

    When anti-doping interrupts your podcast recording...

    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.

    What 81 Ironman starts taught Meredith Kessler about life

    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?

    What does it take to be an "Iron-Mom?" The complete analysis, the data, and the dissertation

    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."
