Episode Description

Super runner Tamara Jewett joins the show this week to update us on her new life in California (and the shark-related messages she sends Kelly). And then she dives into the latest triathlon debates: Why she's not concerned about gate-keeping professional triathlon and if you've qualified for a pro license then you deserve to be there as much as anyone.

She talks to us about:

  1. Why the body image expectations in running were so unhealthy
  2. What she likes about Ironman distance triathlon — even if it is boring
  3. And how she's tried to understand (but can't!) the concept of proportionality

Plus, what races she's got planned, how the start of her season in New Zealand went, and any tips for the wildly packed start list at Ironman Texas.
