The Shit Show that was 2021
What a year! This episode is not my usual practical triathlon nutrition advice. This one is much more personal. I’ve called it the shit show that was 2021 because it definitely has been carnage.

The big lessons I’ve learnt in business but also personally. It also gives you some insight into what we've got planned for 2022 and beyond (after a break to reset!)

Athlete Spotlight: From beginner to 2 x Ironman finisher with Bec Baird
Bec is my longest-standing client, ever! We’ve been working together since 2015 and I felt like she needed her very own spot on the podcast to live on forevermore.I also thought it would be interesting to hear from another athlete just like you about her experience and what’s evolved over time with her nutrition as her triathlon journey has evolved too.When she first decided to get a Sports Dietitian in her corner, she was brand new to the wonderful world of triathlon. Over the years she’s built her way up through the distances from Sprint and Olympic, building to 70.3 and then competing in not 1 but 2 Ironmans! She now competes in an endurance sport of a different kind, motherhood! With some more big goals on the horizon for the years ahead. Bec gives some great insight into what life was like before seeing a Sports Dietitian and some of the mistakes she was making. Along with some of her key learnings to optimise her nutrition over the years.Thank you so much for taking the time to yarn with me Bec! Forever grateful to have such awesome clients like you.
