0:00.0	Hey everyone. I'm Olympian, Carrie Telethson, and welcome to the C-Tali Run podcast.
0:11.6	Today's episode is with one of the best South African runners we've ever seen. She's an Olympian, actually a two-time Olympian. She's a five-time NCAA champion.
0:23.2	She is a professional runner, a coach, and one of the nicest runners I know. In this episode, we talk all about what's going on,
0:29.9	what she's been up to, her next moves in the sport, finding life off of the track, being grateful
0:35.2	for the support throughout her career thus far, and so much
0:38.5	more. There was a lot of fun chatter, but there was also some emotional chatter. And I hope you
0:43.6	got to know Dom just a little bit more. So let's get after it. Dom, you're back. It's been
0:52.2	three years and now you're back on C- Talley Rod. So thanks for joining us.
0:57.0	Thanks for having me. I know. I could barely remember that I'd been on your podcast before. I feel like a lot has happened and a lot has changed since then.
1:05.7	I know. I think it was before you were going to run your first marathon, wasn't it? Or just after?

1:11.8	marathon? Let's like, let's try to remember together. Yeah, I debuted in London in 2023, so that makes
1:19.5	sense. Yeah. And I think, I can't remember the exact date, but you are getting ready maybe for
1:26.2	something else as well. But anyway, it's just been so fun to
1:29.0	watch you. You know, we see each other every now and then at different races, but, you know,
1:34.6	you're just so bubbly and so open. And I just feel like I know you probably better that I
1:39.3	really do. So it's been three years since you've been on C-Talley Run. So I just kind of want to get
1:43.3	like caught up.
1:44.2	What's going on? You ran 108 in 2025 for the half marathon. No spring marathon on the schedule.
1:49.9	So where are you been? What's going on? Yeah. So last year, going into 2025, or even before that, I ran two years of the marathon. It went fine in my books, but it wasn't amazing.
2:07.1	You know, I think we really felt like after running 6732 in the half, that I'd be able to transition to the marathon, and that might be my event.
2:15.3	But it just never quite clicked um my body i wouldn't say
