Hey, what's up Trainiacs Triathlon Terran here, flying solo again. We actually recorded

this interview with Sarah True, two-time Olympian, while at Ironman Austin 70.3, 2017. It was

the day before the race. Sarah carved out about 20 minutes of her time and I took about 30 from her and we had a fantastic interview. I'm a really big fan of Sarah now. It's the first time I've ever met her. And to be perfectly honest, I reached out to a bunch of pros that I knew we're going to be here

and thought that it would be interesting to interview and Sarah was the only one that said,

yeah, for sure, let's definitely do a podcast.

And that was the attitude that she seems to have all the time.

She was so fun, so giggly, so honest with her time, both good and bad as an Olympian

racing the ITU circuit. She shared with us some of the good things about moving to the half

Iron Man distance and how it's given her a new lease on her triathlon life.

And she also shares some of the darker things about what it's like being a professional athlete.

And specifically a government-funded professional athlete on the Olympic track.

And she also talks about some of the darkest times that she's had, battling injuries,

and what it's like where triathlon and being a triathlete is not just your persona, but it's literally

it's everything about who you are and what your family does.

And thank you very much, Sarah, for taking the time and being so open and honest and awesome.

Side note, the day after we recorded this interview, Sarah went on to win,

Half Iron Man Austin, 70.3, at which point I yelled to her as she was running into

the finish line, fifth gear, Sarah, come on! Which will make sense after you listen to this interview.

So I believe that I should take, I don't know, 30% of the credit for her winning.

Anyway, Trainiacs, here's the interview with Sarah True.

I hope you enjoy it.

So, ladies and gentlemen, we are here with Sarah True.
