Show Notes
An 11-time Ironman champion and 23-time Ironman 70.3 champ, Meredith Kessler crossed her final pro finish line at Ironman Arizona this past fall.
She reflects back with us on her career and what she hoped her kids learned from her racing. Why did she do all her training inside? What was it like going all-in working four jobs, and deciding to leave corporate America to travel the world as a pro triathlete? And how it was always important to her to balance being a human with being an athlete.
Plus, the top five lessons she learned from Ironman.
