We are so excited to welcome an endurance athlete extraordinaire to the show this week in our interview with Emma Pooley! Emma is a multi time world champ and olympic and commonwealth games medalist on the bike, and a multi time duathlon world champ. In addition to all of that, in more recent years she has taken to gravel biking and mountain running, and even has a memoir coming out soon! In this interview we dug into all aspects of Emma's career, from fueling, to injuries, to travel, and everything in between.

These week we are thrilled to bring to everyone the interview we’ve all been waiting for: Jenny Kalmbach, who was the lead paddle boarder in Kona this year! Jenny told us all the details on her experiences in this role, including the wildlife sightings along the way. Beyond the triathlon world though, Jenny has had an illustrious paddle boarding career, including big races and long treks. We loved this change of perspective and getting to learn about the paddle boarding world, and we are so excited to bring it to our listeners!

This week we are stoked to welcome rookie pro Deborah Eckhouse to the show!! Deborah has just wrapped up her first season competing professionally in long course triathlon, and we loved this interview getting to hear about her entire journey! Deborah works the graveyard shift as a public safety supervisor, and then by day she does her training. In this interview, Deborah tells us all about her journey into the sport, from being inspired by her dad to do triathlon in the first place, to just recently learning to swim in her 30's. She tells us the ins and outs of how she balances a full time job while she moves up the triathlon ranks, and shares for us what her hopes are moving forward in the sport!

In this packed episode, Haley and Alyssa recap race day stories from both the recent IRONMAN Arizona, where Haley was spectating her coached athletes, as well as the recent T100 World Championship Final in Dubai.

They also welcome two rising stars in the sport, Hana Al Nabulsi and Naomi Ruff.

Hana is a Team UAE triathlete who was on the ground at this year's T100 World Championship Final. She shares the growing excitement and enthusiasm for the sport in her country, as well as her desire to set an example and change perceptions of women in sport.

Unfortunately, due to a recent surgery, Hana wasn't able to compete at the race, but she shares the harrowing details around her injury and her goals for recovery and competition.

The second interview is with Naomi Ruff, the newly crowned NCAA Individual National Champion from Arizona State! She shares the details of her race day, including those smoking fast transitions which kept her at the front of the pack. It's an exciting play-by-play of the event, including the two-day format, team dynamics, and knowing when to make her move on the run.

The future of the sport is bright with these two rising stars!
