Miscellaneous
Welcome to the second edition of our “Athlete Spotlight” on the TWP. I’d like to introduce you to Jody George, an age-group triathlete in the UK balancing family, a job, and a love for triathlon. Sound familiar? Jody does not have an uncommon story about his entrance into triathlon years ago – teaming up with some buddies to do some local sprint races, and building up to longer distances while managing nutrition and fitness around life changes. Most recently, Jody registered and trained for the inaugural Challenge Weymouth 140.6 triathlon with not only the goal to have a 140.6 finish part of his resume, but with the goal to raise money for a local ambulance service, Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance. But Jody’s participation in the Challenge event on September 14th took an unexpected turn before the race even started. I’ll let you listen in to the podcast to learn what really happened. This is a great story of someone who overcame a potentially esteem-devastating situation to go beyond completing a long-course triathlon. Jody shares his story in our conversation.
