The Joy of Retirement with Lauren Brandon

Yes, there is life after a professional triathlon career and Lauren Brandon is here to gush about it!

This week, Joanne and Kelly talk to the recently retired pro and mom-to-be about life after racing:

  • What does she miss most about her pro racing days? (Definitely not swimming.)
  • What changes did she see in the sport during her final years?
  • As a standout swimmer, what was it like always racing from the front?
  • What do her weekends look like now? (Ahhhh...brunch)
  • Her new role managing athletes at Varlo Apparel
  • Staying active during pregnancy and what comes next!

Plus, Lauren's still a HUGE triathlon fan — and keeping up with all the racing! So all three dissect the latest races — including the controversial sprint finish and protest at the 70.3 European Championship, the racing at Challenge Roth, and the upcoming triathlon start lines this weekend (WTCS Hamburg!). Who still needs to earn a spot to Kona?
