The Women’s Race

Empowering women through endurance sport.

Welcome to The Women’s Race newsletter. I’m so glad you’re here.

Well, I have decided not to make the trip to Nice for the 70.3 World Championships. Recovery has gone very well since Ironman Kalmar, however, the logistics of another European trip, combined with family life (hello start of school and insane fall kids sports schedules!) AND my run fitness needing a bit of attention, I need to make the smarter choice and stay home to train. It’s so, SO hard to miss out on these fun championship race weeks and all the hype, but I want to show up to Kona in my best possible shape and headspace. With that in mind, we have officially entered the countdown to Kona!!

Here at The Women’s Race I’ve launched a giveaway series where with entry (link below), you’ll be entered each week to win some awesome prizes from my sponsors, including gear and gift cards from: Zoot, Garmin, Raw, Blue Seventy and more!! I’m so excited to share some of this with you all along with the awesome Kona-bound women we will have on each week as well. It’s going to be lots of fun.

Read on for what’s happening on this week’s pod, some things I’m thinking about, and more from The Women’s Race

This week I got to chat with ANOTHER super swimmer and super human Marta Sanchez. Marta is a Spanish pro who definitely found her niche in the Ironman distance. I got to catch up with her nearing the end of a camp up in the mountains. Hope you enjoy!
