Moms of Triathlon
Pro triathlete and cyclist Amy Henderson, stay at home mom and amateur triathlete Aly Wilson, and working mom and amateur triathlete Jen Gottschalk get together every week to discuss what's been going on in their lives as moms and athletes. Each episode has a main topic covering everything from training during pregnancy (and postpartum) to learning how to navigate the world of sport and parenthood. Join them every Friday for some truly honest conversation about the challenges they have (and are) facing as parents to young children who are also trying to maintain successful athletic careers.

You put ice where?! Getting through hot races
It’s getting hot! Amy and Jen share their experiences training in the heat and how they have worked through it. They talk about how to plan routes with water and shade in mind. They discuss different hydration strategies on the bike and the run. Amy and Jen both share stories of instances where they struggled in the heat during races and how they pulled themselves out of it. They also get into taking kids for runs in the heat and what extra precautions to take and signs to look for in them. In their weekly updates, Jen talks about the struggles of having a kid home sick from daycare and Amy contrasts the workouts that are worth the extra commuting time and effort and those that aren’t.
