Inside Tri Show tries hard to share the stories of male and female athletes, from the world of triathlon and beyond. But you'll often notice more men than women lining up at races, from local triathlons to full distance events, men often out number women. So in this special episode, we're celebrating all things women in triathlon and some of the projects trying to get more women involved in the sport.

You'll hear:

You'll meet the 5 women who'll be making up the Inside Tri Show team of women who will be taking on THE ROC Wales in September.

Plus hear from Fund Her Tri UK, the charity trying to get more women on triathlon start lines.

And how the idea of doing an Ironman grew into something so much bigger, from 10Ironwomen.

Mel Nicholls is one of a kind and despite three strokes in her early 20s, Mel has vowed to never stop dreaming big. She has represented Great Britain at two Paralympics in para athletics, switched to Para cycling before setting her eyes on a 3rd Paralympics in Paris, this time in Para triathlon. Mel has hand-cycled around the Faroe Islands, from Lands End to John O'Groats as well as all around Great Britain. Her passion and enthusiasm for life is infectious.

You'll hear:

06:30 Mel talks about her background, her love for the outdoors as a child and how watching the Beijing paralympics inspired her to find out what she could do in sport after her second stroke.

08:30 Within 15 months of starting wheelchair racing, Mel was competing around the world. She got an unexpected call-up to the London Paralympics a month out and took part in her first international event at the Games. She continued to Rio on the track and then took a step back to focus on marathons and longer distance. 'Seeing where I could go with the marathon was exciting'

10:30 How she got into hand-cycling and para cycling.

12:30 The move to Para Triathlon and how she got into that, despite ultra cycling being her absolute passion. How she ended up on the start line of a triathlon.

18:30 The pressure she put on herself in her first triathlon. And how she ended up doing a World Series Paratriathlon race in Swansea as her second ever triathlon. 'I'd do one more she said.' And then from there she got involved in the British Paratriathlon team.

26:30 Balancing her need and thirst for adventure with being on a high performance programme and the different pressures.

31:30 We talk a bit about the Pan Celtic race - Mel was the first hand-cyclist to do it in 2022.

36:00 Mel's cycling adventure around the Faroe Islands. What appealed, why did she go there, how was it? 'not many people cycle the Faroe Islands at all, let alone hand cycle!' The kind people who made an impression on her and why she came wanting to say 'yes' to every opportunity. 'if you're approachable and you smile at people, they want to smile back'.

41:30 Having trust in human nature and trying to be open and take time to speak to people and have those conversations in the street. 'You can easily make someone's day by stopping and chatting and talking.'

42:30 Advice for getting back from being at rock bottom, whether after a big injury, a huge health set-back or something else. 'It's your life and you have to find the way to do something' There's nothing you can't do, you just have to find a different different way of doing it.'

48:30 What are Mel's dreams now? I'm just going to keep the dreams and make them bigger and bigger and bigger.

You'll hear:

01:30 The amount of indoor training Leon does "its a means to an end. I enjoy being good at something."

11:00 Does he yet feel like he is amongst the best long distance triathletes in the World?

16:00 Why is his English so good?

12:00 Skye talks about doing her first triathlon when she was at University. "But I didn't have unlimited funds and unlimited time as I was balancing working and studies with my hobbies. I was very busy and very organised."

14:00 Why Skye never thought that being a professional athlete could be a possibility. 'Sport was just something that I loved to do and it's complemented my life." Skye also believes that getting back to the pure love and enjoyment of it is really key.

Ever felt like you wanted to make a massive career change? Quit the 9-5 and do the seemingly impossible thing of following your passions? Guest Jo Bradshaw proves that it IS indeed possible. Jo used to work in an office as a Business Advisor, but a sky dive and a bike ride were the triggers for Jo's life to take a different pathway. She has spent the past decade and a half working as a Freelance Expedition Leader and Outdoor Ed Instructor. She's done nearly 40 ascents of Kilimanjaro, she's undertaking the 7 summits and she even has a few triathlon plans for this year.

You'll hear:

10:00 Jo on her plans to do a Middle Distance triathlon in 2023 and why she's planning on changing her work around for 2023. 'Life is short, I'm not getting any younger and I want to see what I'm like."

13:00 Why Jo believes that life is for living, if she's always had that attitude and if not, where it came from. "It wasn't really until I hit my 30s and swapped the world of business for the world of adventure." "I have one life, I am mostly the master of my destiny."

17:30 What would a 15 year old think of Jo's talks when she goes into schools? And how does she try to encourage adventure in young people too? The importance of champions and why it's so important to be someone else's champion and helping others. "We can come up with excuses so easily, but a lot of excuses come out of fear of failure."

25:00 Why ditching the mobile phone and being forced to sit and talk can be so hard for young people.

27:30 Having done 37 ascents of Kilimanjaro, does Jo ever get bored of going up the same Mountain so many times?

31:00 Jo talks about Everest Base Camp and the queues, why crews of 40 go up Kilimanjaro and what Denali is like too and what it's like to stand on top of a mountain.

39:30 Jo is trying to climb the World's 7 summits. She has already done 6 of them, including Mt Vincent in Antarctica.

45:30 What is success? And why Jo's perception of success has changed since her late 20s and it's now happiness. "Life is not going to go as planned and it's your choice how you deal with that."

51:30 How has Jo's confidence changed since she left the world of Business behind?
