This week on the show Haley and Alyssa chat with professional triathlete Brandi Swicegood. In 2018, Brandi left a 20-year career as a journalist to chase her dream of becoming a professional triathlete and set an example for her daughter. Brandi opens up about the financial and emotional stress of walking away from an established career and redefining her role as a mother and athlete. She qualified for her pro card in late 2019, and raced her first event as a pro at Ironman Cozumel at the end of that year. Like all of us, Brandi’s 2020 race plans were derailed. She talks about how the pandemic affected the start of her pro career, and the challenges of being a parent and training full time during the last 18 months.  This year, Brandi took to the trails and started racing Xterra off road triathlons. She tells us about how a date with her now husband got her started in mountain biking, and what she loves about the off-road format. Brandi also gives us some journalist’s insight on how to tell a good story to promote yourself as an athlete.

Have you ever wondered what the process is like to get your “Pro Card” or what the emotions are like to achieve this?  In this episode I talk with Brandi about not only her race experience in Cancun, but also the journey to achieve her professional license. Some of the fun stuff we talk about along the way is how being a Mom, her training, and meal prep as well.  She also was able to meet one of my favorite athletes I’ve had on the show as well while she was down Cancun, VT! She’s got some great races coming up later this year so stay tuned and follow her for sure! Thank you Brandi for spending some time with me, I enjoyed getting to know you and share your story.-Weather that day:  80-90+Water:  NONWSL-Age Group:  F40-44Height:   5’4”Weight:  120Calories per hour: ~284PSI for this course:  120 Depth of Wheels: 50F/80RBike Elevation Gain:  138ftRun Elevation Gain: ~5ftSwim: 33:19T1: 3:12Bike:   2:32:30T2:  2:36Run: 1:52:27Total Race Time:  5:04:04-Division Rank: 2Overall Rank: 3-Follow Brandi,Facebook:   Brandi Grissom SwicegoodInstagram: @brandiswicegoodWebsite: www.BrandiSwicegood.com-Sponsors:Bicycle World:  https://visitbicycleworld.com/BlueSeventy:  https://www.blueseventy.com/Boco Gear:  https://www.bocogear.com/ Eboost:  https://www.eboost.com/Enve Wheels:  https://www.enve.com/en/Kanberra Sport: https://kanberragel.com/products/kanberra-anti-friction-creamNuun Hydration:  https://nuunlife.com/Suunto:  https://www.suunto.com/en-us/Tifosi Sunglasses:  https://www.tifosioptics.com/-Follow Coach Terry:Instagram:  @PerfectRacePodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/CoachTerryWilsonWebsite:  www.CoachTerryWilson.com
