In their own words
In this podcast I share the trials and tribulations of a middle-aged amateur triathlete. Take me along with you during your workout to hear about my personal experiences of training and racing and get some motivation to utilize for your own workouts. I'm not a coach. I'm not an interviewer. I'm a fellow triathlete! Feel free to reach me with comments or feedback at [email protected] free to check out my YouTube channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9lmUEgk9FHNnRFqdgGzL2w/featured
