-
- Nutrition
Bob and Dina huddle with Dede Griesbauer who left a successful Wall Street career to become a professional triathlete. She has several Ironman and 70.3 triathlon wins and also holds records in Ultraman racing including this year’s female Ultraman World Champion (at the young age of 52). Tune in to her story about her extensive swimming background and how she became an Ironman and Ultraman champion, along with her nutrition learnings along the way.
We cover:
Dede’s extensive athletic background which began at the age of 3
A peek into her collegiate swimming days and how the training and nutrition approaches were much different in that era
How she kept fit during her early career in finance and Wall Street
The story for how she found the sport of Ironman and her first Ironman win
Her curiosity and reflection on the impact of nutrition in her past and current sports performance
How she got into Ultraman and changes she made to her fueling and hydration
Changes she’s made (and not made!) in her training and recovery as a 52-year young female athlete
Quotes from Dede:
“When it comes to ultra racing, you have your Plan A but you’ve got to have Plan B, C, D, E, F and then you’ve gotta have the kitchen sink.”
“The gym work is a critical part for the aging athlete as is the mobility.”
