YogiTriathlete co-founders Jess and BJ come together today for their monthly installment of the OH Show. In this episode, Jess downloads the abundant nature of being on a yoga adventure in the Galapagos Islands (a few rooms left for our 2025 trip), and then they shift gears to talk about taper and pre-race mindset. Both Jess and BJ are departing to separate parts of the country to race on the same date, BJ to IRONMAN Lake Placid and Jess to IRONMAN 70.3 Oregon. Both races will include several members of the ever-growing Team YogiTriathlete - stay tuned, BIG NEWS coming August 1st!
