Show Notes
In honor of mothers day this past weekend, this week's episode features two women who are navigating the elite triathlon space as new moms. Our first guest, Kayla Pokorny found out she was pregnant with her second child last year during her rookie pro season, and has been quick to step back into racing with competing in St Anthony's just a few months postpartum. Our second guest is Lara Gruden, who had been competing as a pro for a number of years prior to getting pregnant with her first baby. Lara tool a different approach to motherhood as an athlete, deciding to step away from racing after giving birth, but still continuing to train and embrace a triathlon centric life supporting her husband's goals in the sport.
In the episode, we got to hear both women's perspectives on what it's like to be a mom and elite athlete in like today, as well as the unique highs and lows this journey can bring.
