Episode #160 From selling her bike to an Ironman podium: Mandy’s story

Three years ago, Mandy sold everything she owned, including her bike, walked away from triathlon, and put on 30 pounds. This September she set a personal best and stood on the podium at Ironman Maryland.

In this episode of The 99%, Jesse and Marilyn sit down with Mandy, an elementary PE and health teacher from Connecticut, a lifelong swimmer, and a 10-year triathlete, to talk about the climb back. She shares the promise she made to her dad, what rock bottom looked like, and her first run back at a 13-minute mile. She also explains why changing her nutrition, sleep and recovery did more for her than any single workout.
