From DNF to 70.3: One Woman's Journey During Menopause

 The latest episode of the Find Your Edge podcast features a heartwarming story of transformation, resilience, and community for one woman taking on triathlon later in life. 

Meet Juli. Her son convinced her to do a pool sprint triathlon 4 years ago. As a runner, she didn't know much about the sport, and had a bit of a fear of swimming. Despite this, she stepped out of her comfort zone and discovered a new passion for triathlon.

Again, with her son, she decided to train for Santa Cruz 70.3. She grew up there, so was familiar with that area. But without much swim training, she ended up doing the entire swim course on her back and ended up missing the cut off time (the dreaded DNF!).

One of the surprising parts of her journey is the community she found in our Team. She discusses the profound impact of the friendships she has made on her physical and mental well-being, particularly during menopause.

Listen in to Juli's infectious laugh, genuine enthusiasm and positive attitude. Her advice to face fears, show up, and find joy in the journey resonates with anyone thinking about diving into triathlon, especially as a menopausal female. Oh, and don't forget to eat your protein :)
