Trust the Process: Breaking the Tape After Breaking Down with Kate Donohue

"Crash your bike. Break your body. Undergo surgery. Have a bad race. DNF. Get sick. Burn out. Miss the mark—over and over again. And still… You show up. You try again. And again. And again.” - Kate Donohue.

This powerful quote encapsulates the unwavering spirit of our guest, Kate Donohue, whose triathlon journey is a testament to resilience and the power of showing up. Kate's journey into triathlon, beginning in 2022, is a powerful illustration of what can be achieved through consistent effort and a belief in the long-term process. Despite facing setbacks, including a bike crash and a DNF, Kate's dedication propelled her to a remarkable victory at Eagleman 70.3, where she broke the tape!

In this episode, Kate shares invaluable insights into the critical role of mental toughness in overcoming challenges and the strength she draws from her community. We also explore her intriguing decision to incorporate crit racing as a "side quest," uncovering how this high-intensity discipline complements and enhances her endurance-focused triathlon training.
