She did it! Season Wrap-Up: In-depth Race Recap, Lessons Learned & What’s Next
And just like that, we’ve hit the finish line of another season of Why We Tri. 🏊♀️🚴♂️🏃
In this wrap-up episode, we chat through:
- How race weekend and the big day actually unfolded
- Smashing predicted times and surprising ourselves
- Lessons we’ll carry into training and racing next year
- How we’re feeling now (tired, proud, excited… all of it)
- Our plans for the next race season ahead...
It’s less about medals and times (although, we love a medal), and more about the journey, the learnings, and the shared love of triathlon.
Thanks for being part of this season with us — and here’s to what comes next. 💛

Her Bike Ride Was a Disaster... And The Race is in 1 Month!
It's the final countdown! 😱 With just ONE MONTH to go until the Olympic triathlon, the pressure is officially on and every single session counts.
In this episode, Rebecca shares the story of her disastrous training ride—complete with a puncture, a nutrition "bonk," and a desperate craving for an ice cream stop. This "failure" becomes a massive learning opportunity, sparking a critical conversation about last-minute race preparation.
We cover the essential things you need to nail in the final month: what to do if you get a puncture mid-race, why your nutrition is more important than ever, and the ultimate race day checklist to make sure you don't forget anything. Plus, we get a wild recap of the team's brutal 8-hour cycling challenge at the Spa F1 circuit!
