She's back! And she brought a friend! @happy-healthy-mommyoffour (Wendy Green) and @ocrmommy_cynthia (Cynthia Counts) came to Chicago for a Hyrox competition and that meant I got to meet them in person AND record another podcast with Wendy, this time focusing on how she went from a mom who had completely lost herself, to a competitive athlete! Cynthia was going to sit and just listen but I am so glad she joined in because we had a blast AND she has quite the story as well (we will be recording her story soon).
If you haven't listened to Wendy's first episode with me, please take a listen! You will be blown away by her personal story. Wendy is like the little engine that could, and the same goes for Cynthia. These 2 badass women train like crazy daily to compete in various Spartan Races across the country AND they have a blast doing it. On top of that both are incredibly humble. Wendy is quite well-known on the circuit and yet Cynthia says that she stops to talk with everyone that asks for a photo or an autograph🥰. She is the same person at the Races that she is in regular life.❤️
There is way too much to write about this interview/conversation so why not just listen 😘.
Notes:
What is a Spartan Race? The world’s premier obstacle course race (OCR). An OCR is a running race with the additional challenge of obstacles along the course. These obstacles require athletes to have a complete fitness level (cardiovascular fitness + strength + mobility). Races range from the Spartan Sprint, a race that is 3 to 5 miles in length and has 20 to 23 obstacles, to the Spartan Agoge, a 60-hour event that builds physical, tactical, mental, and team-based strength through training, testing, and evaluation
