Summary

I don't have a Best Episode of the Year category, but this conversation would be in the running. Meg Fisher is a decorated athlete across a variety of disciplines. A walk-on division 1 tennis player in college, she was involved in a tragic accident at the age of 19 that took the love of her life and resulted in an amputated portion of her leg. Not one to watch the grass grow and sit by the sidelines, she's only sped up since then, winning world championships and all shades of Paralympic medals. She's also earned a PhD in Physical Therapy as she helps spread the message that movement is medicine. Meg is a Cannondale athlete and is leading the way for parathletes competing in gravel races of all types. This conversation is one for the ages and one I know you're going to enjoy.

0:00.0	All righty, King of the Ride listeners, here's a quick story for you.
0:08.5	When I record a podcast, that takes place on any given day, and then later on, maybe call it
0:14.7	a couple days later, maybe even a few weeks later, it's time to put that conversation out

0:55.2	just how impactful this conversation would be to me and hopefully too many of you.
1:01.3	It has now been a few hours. I went out for a quick spin. I came home to record this introduction,
1:07.4	maybe just two and a half hours after the initial conversation took place.
1:12.0	Not the days or weeks that it typically takes me amid the juggle of keeping every day straight.
1:17.9	And that has everything to do with the gravity of this conversation and how candid Meg is,
1:24.0	how important her story is to tell.
1:27.9	This conversation is a standout, and you will shortly learn of what I'm speaking when I
1:32.9	stop my introduction, which I will do right about now.
