India Lee, or Indie as she prefers to be known, is a British triathlete renowned for her versatility and strength in multisport events. With a passion for sport deeply ingrained from a young age, Indie has evolved from a runner in her younger days to a world class triathlete. Her journey in this gruelling sport reflects not only her love for competition but also her zest for life, finding joy in travelling the world and immersing herself in the triathlon lifestyle. Indie is known for her fierce independence, her love for cycling, and a deep bond with her dog, Ruby. With a unique ability to fix anything that's broken, she embodies a spirit that's both determined and reflective, and is as good an example of a growth mindset as you will see. Lee's career took a significant turn in 2018 when she stepped up to middle-distance racing, promptly making a mark with her victory at Ironman 70.3 Weymouth. Her accolades include being a double European champion, and her transition to Ironman racing suggests more exciting chapters ahead. Notably, she also played a pivotal role in pacing Kat Matthews during the historic Sub8 challenge. In this episode, we discuss the benefit of a growth mindset, the benefits of doing your own mechanics.
