Abby’s guest on the season finale of The Sailing Show is Spanish sailor, Demila Tassin who has recently returned from competing in the Mini Transat Race for the first time. The Mini Transat is a race Djemila had been dreaming of for the past five years and we hear about her journey to the start line, the challenges, the highs and lows and what she has learnt from this unique experience.

The Mini Transat is a 4,050 nautical mile race from Les Sables d’Olonne in France to Saint-François in Guadeloupe, with a stopover in Santa Cruz de La Palma. This race has acquired the reputation of a true test of ocean racing and for good reason, it’s a single handed, without outside assistance or weather routing by satellite in a 6.5m boat.

On the season finale of Season 1 Kirstin has a special guest. Makenna Myler is a mother and pro athlete in both track and long distance running. We don't just cover her career in running, though; you will also hear applicable tips and get a peek inside the journey of a pro athlete, that honestly sounds very similar to everyone's journey in sport.  Makenna became famous for competing in the 2020 United States Olympic Trials, where she placed 14th, approximately seven months after giving birth to her daughter. She had previously garnered notoriety for running one mile in 5 minutes 25 seconds approximately 1 week prior to giving birth.  We had so much fun with this conversation and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we did.  Kirstin will be back in January 2022 with season 2 of Tri This, which will have a different look and feel so be sure to subscribe on your podcast app so you don't miss an episode.

This week’s guest on the season finale is not only a USA rugby legend but a legend around the world. She has made three appearances in the Rugby World Cup and was selected as the top player in the world in her position in 2002 and 2006. In 2010, she was named the U.S. Rugby Player of the Decade. In November 2017, she was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. Currently she has her own clothing line called the PSK collective, which Naya is an ambassador for and is a commentator on the world rugby sevens series so you've probably heard her voice before. She has paved the way for women in rugby and is constantly taking on new projects, most recently MMA. Phaindra shares her passions with us and what's on her bucket list, some of which may surprise you...or not... if you know how invincible this woman is.

Kirstin reviews the Indian Wells Ironman 70.3 in La Quinta California that she competed in this past weekend. It was a race with some ups and downs as many of them are. Kirstin had some PR’s, and nailed hydration and fueling. However, she still battled the heat out on the run and experienced some frustration on the run as this very hot race season comes to an end. We also cover the signs and symptoms of the start of thermoregulation issues, to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If you know the signs and symptoms as an athlete you can catch them before they turn into a more serious issue, and you may be able to help out a fellow athlete as well. We also talk about the long term consequences of heat injuries and how long it can take to overcome them.

Kirstin shares some potential pitfalls when it comes to using certain recovery modalities at the wrong time. Recovery is something we talk about a lot on this podcast because, well… if you're going to do the workout, you might as well try to get the most out of it right? But there are certain scenarios where the latest and greatest and "fancy" tools and things are actually creating more of a problem for the body than helping. We also cover some tried and true recovery methods that don't cause deficits and are always going to be helpful no matter what is happening with your body.
