Shownotes

A must-listen episode if you’re looking to add a triathlon to your race calendar or to take on a new distance in triathlon: Kelly O'Mara, co-host of the Feisty Triathlon podcast and former editor-in-chief of Triathlete Magazine, shares expert insights on starting and succeeding in triathlon. In a conversation with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams, Kelly details:

  • how to morph from being a runner to a triathlete
  • overcoming fears + overwhelm about swimming
  • realistic race goals (hint: think process, not outcome)
  • the beauty of being part of a triathlon club
  • must-have—and can-skip-for-now—gear

Before Kelly joins around 08:15, Molly and Sarah share family updates. Grab Feisty's free beginner sprint triathlon guide.
