Women Unscripted

On this week’s episode Siri & Bek discuss planning your race season: how to plan and attack it depending on what races you’re doing, your goals for the season and also what to do if you have an injury and your season doesn’t go according to plan. They also have advice on how to deal with nerves; why being nervous before a race is not a bad thing and there are ways to channel nervous anticipation even by using humor. Bek has a funny story about what her sister did to her before a race!  As always lots of great advice from the champs that will help any athlete, not just triathletes.

On this month's episode, multi-medalists rowers Lindsay Jennerich and Patricia Obee reflect on their experience as World Champions and Olympic silver medalists regarding inequity among athletes. They share their perspective of being on the Canadian rowing team for many years, how men were always first in line for coaching and even medical treatment, regardless of their performance and record. Why would a multi-medalist athlete be treated less favorably than an athlete who was unproven, regardless of gender? They also believe that the physical stature of men gave them an advantage over women, again regardless of performance. Their advice to women is to own their position in sport and life because power is taken, not given.

The World Cup season is coming to a close in Are, Sweden, which means globes, parties and, hopefully, a little down time for the athletes when it’s all over. American Alice McKennis found time after her final practice run before the downhill race to talk to Gabbi Hall about her best season since 2013 including her fifth-place performance in the Olympic downhill, the strength of the U.S. women’s speed team and overcoming the inevitable injuries that accompany life as an American Downhiller. Less than 24 hours after the interview, McKennis skied to her first World Cup podium finish in five years. Gabbi also has the latest headlines in the sport from NCAA national championships to NorAm Cup races to the World Cup including latest retirements.
