In Gratitude - Jess and BJ

*****

Professional Triathlete Laura Siddall shares the mic with Jess and BJ today to smackdown her amazing win at Patagonman Xtreme Tri. Not only did she take the women's win, but she was second overall. Another example that women are truly thriving within the extreme triathlon world.

So much has shifted since Laura raced her first Ironman as an age grouper in 2009, in the sport and her life, but what has stayed the same is her ability to grasp the W on race day.

This conversation concludes an intense year of life for Laura, having begun with a terrible biking accident and then coming out on top at the bottom of the earth just last month. This conversation is a blast, we hope you enjoy the show.
