On this episode of Le Run Down we chat with nonbinary pro triathlete, "The Purple Tiger" Rach McBride.

At an early age they enjoyed running cross country but traded it for something more creative in their early teens.

Rach rediscovered a love for endurance sports in their late 20's, finding early success in the marathon. Then, with the encouragement of a mentor, they began training to become an elite triathlete, turned pro and never looked back.
