The Triathlete Hour: ep. 14 - Sika Henry wants to be the first African-American female pro

In episode 14 of the Triathlete Hour we talk with Sika Henry, who is trying to become the first female African-American pro triathlete. How did she end up with that goal and why hasn't there been someone before her? Last year, Sika also had a horrific crash and doesn't remember anything before waking up in the hospital. How do you get back on your bike after that? Plus, she still balances a full-time job and a full-time training load, even with her big goals—something a lot of us will appreciate. First, though, Triathlete senior editor Chris Foster talks to us about Lubbock 70.3 this weekend—which is scheduled to be the first large triathlon since the COVID-19 pandemic started. What will it look like? And if you don't have races on the horizon, like most of us, then what are your options for putting on a self-supported triathlon?
