Sarah True (nee Groff) - Multiple Olympian and Ironman Champion


Listen Later

In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg has a delightful conversation with Sarah True (nee Groff).
 
Sarah is one of the few Triathletes to reach the top in the world at the shorter Olympic distance and then reach the top of the world at the Ironman distance.
 
She represented the United States in triathlon in the 2012 London Olympics, finishing in 4th and 2016 Rio Olympics. She finished second in the 2014 ITU World Triathlon Series.
 
After leaving the short course and the Olympics she quickly stamped her name as a contender for the Ironman World title, placing 4th on her debut at Kona World Championships in 2018.
 
It hasn’t been all smooth sailing, but she continues to adapt and rebuild and is one of the sports great champions.
 
She’s a long-time friend, one of the great talents of the sport of Triathlon, and just an all-around wonderful person.
 
In this episode, Sarah drops the bomb that she's pregnant and due in July. This news is subtly shared and had Greg stumped for a moment with pure surprise and joy.
 
Sarah moves on after dropping this news to describe her journey into the sport, the Olympics and Ironman, and everything else in between.
 
She describes the neurological issues she has struggled with since Kona Ironman 2018 - she describes it as a dimming switch in the brain, that turns the lights out even when the body is completely fine.
 
There are a lot of laughs in this one. Sarah shares so many wonderful stories and there are just so many great take-aways.
