Listen Later

What if discovering joy in your passion could transform your greatest challenges into your most remarkable triumphs? Join us for a heartwarming and truly inspirational chat with Annie Brooks, a phenomenal athlete who turned her epilepsy diagnosis into a driving force for competing in triathlons, eventually conquering the Ironman World Championships in Kona. We explore the power of resilience, the importance of mental fortitude, and the sheer joy of racing that can turn daunting obstacles into stepping stones for personal growth and achievement.

Ever faced the hilarious dilemma of hosting a barbecue without the essentials like outdoor seating or a grill? As we recount our own adventures in shifting a neighborhood party to a neighbor's better-equipped backyard, we navigate the humorous complexities of meal planning influenced by my wife’s dietary preferences and the social intricacies of contributing healthy options. The conversation shifts to the simple but profound joy of birthday celebrations, reflecting on personal milestones, the significance of birthday wishes, and the quirky fears of jinxing good fortune.

Training for a triathlon is tough; managing epilepsy alongside it is a whole new level of challenge. Annie Brooks shares her journey of balancing rigorous training schedules with health management, highlighting the importance of mindfulness, recovery, and the supportive role of her husband-coach. From overcoming mechanical issues during races to the camaraderie found in endurance events, this episode is a testament to the human spirit's resilience. We also provide practical tips for running in hot weather and emphasize the importance of staying hydrated and safe. Tune in for a motivational episode brimming with heartwarming stories, practical advice, and the small moments that make endurance sports so special.
