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.

I get knocked down, but I get up again
This week on the podcast Amy and Jen each share a significant injury that disrupted their triathlon career and how they came back from it. Jen talks about a ski injury right before her move to Florida and starting her job at Ironman. She sprained her MCL and torn her meniscus and it took a lot of time, the help of a PT roommate, and a slow build back to return to racing. Amy goes into her hip labral tear that was discovered after she qualified for Kona, the winter before the big race. She was able to address the pain with focused PT, though it comes back from time to time. They share some reminders, like the importance of keeping up with preventative PT and not rushing back too quickly. And they close with their Go Mommas of the Week.
