Chatting with Chelsea Sodaro

•

Episode description

In this episode: Eric and Ryan talk about the Noosa Triathlon. The event embodies just about everything we love about our sport and community.

We’re then joined by 2022 IRONMAN World Champion Chelsea Sodaro. We talk about the conflict between being service-oriented and the selfishness that can be a part of long-course triathlon, Sodaro’s openness about her mental health, and being an advocate to break down barriers to access our sport with her work with &Mother.
