0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform you best, no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:31.0	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:33.6	I am coming to you this week from a rental house in Emporia, Kansas, where I just had the enormous honor of being inducted into the gravel cycling Hall of Fame.
0:44.0	And I'll be riding the 100 mile course tomorrow as a celebration of, well, everything.
0:50.3	So this week, we're bringing you a special live episode from the live pop-up offices in downtown Emporia, where I had the chance to sit down with two legends in the sport, an existing Hall of Famers, Christy Mone, who you likely know from Girls Gone Gravel, and seven-time world champion Rebecca Rush, who I affectionately call my sister from another mother
1:11.4	because people are always coming up to me and being like, Rebecca, and I'm like, nope, not a seven-time

1:23.4	about midlife and menopause and how we view it all and what we want for the future. It was a real
1:29.3	pleasure and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Just a few housekeeping notes before we get to it.
1:35.4	I also had the honor and opportunity to give an induction speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony.

1:46.3	It's also on Facebook.
1:47.6	I'll also put a link to the whole Hall of Fame ceremony in the show notes
1:50.8	so you can check the whole thing out if you'd like.
1:54.1	Quick thanks before we get to it to Lagoon Sleep for their sponsorship and support of this show.
1:59.4	Some friends and I rode from Kansas City to Emporia, so we've been on the road all week.
2:04.0	And I'll tell you, once you get used to a high-quality, amazingly supportive, personalized pillow,
2:09.6	it's pretty hard to go back.
2:11.6	So thanks, Lagoon.
2:12.9	I cannot wait to get back to my cooling otter pillow in my own bed.
