Skye’s The Limit Podcast

Mirinda Carfrae, aka Rinny, is a legendary retired professional triathlete. Rinny was the Ironman World Champion in Kona three times, and when she wasn't winning Kona, she was almost always on the podium there. Rinny had her first child well into her career at 36 years old, and would go on to have two more children. Skye and Rinny talk through Rinny's pregnancies, the mental break from sport, where she was mentally as she returned to sport after her first two children, sponsorship support through maternity, and her three birthing experiences. Rinny shares her thoughts on how important the recovery is after birth before getting back to training, and more!

Skye and Jackie have been racing each other the last five or so years, and now they sit down and talk about life beyond the race course. Jackie is a Ironman and 70.3 champion, a mother of two, and one of her strengths is not overly stressing about things in life (superpower?!). Jackie talks about her traumatic first child birth experience, returning to sport after having two babies in two years, letting go of control by putting things out to the universe, how she and her husband are equal partners in parenting, and even a bit about the art of stroller running. Not an episode to be missed!
