YogiTriathlete co-founders Jess and BJ come together today for their monthly installment of the OH Show. In this episode, Jess downloads the abundant nature of being on a yoga adventure in the Galapagos Islands (a few rooms left for our 2025 trip), and then they shift gears to talk about taper and pre-race mindset. Both Jess and BJ are departing to separate parts of the country to race on the same date, BJ to IRONMAN Lake Placid and Jess to IRONMAN 70.3 Oregon. Both races will include several members of the ever-growing Team YogiTriathlete - stay tuned, BIG NEWS coming August 1st!

Aurora Leon-Conde, along with her partner Joaquin, joined Jess and BJ to debrief her recent finish of the Tahoe 200. The journey was not without massive resistance, all of which Aurora overcame in the end using the power of her mind.

Aurora is a pillar of strength and a long-time member of Team YogiTriathlete. She has completed many epic feats throughout the year and serves as a leader in the YT Community for doing hard things with grace. Aurora discovered running while studying medicine in New York, eventually leading her to run the NYC marathon in 2011. Through endurance sports, she realized that she was capable of accessing parts of her mind that were dormant in regular life.

She became fascinated by this and started running longer distances to see what else she could access. Her most recent endeavor, and the catalyst for finally having her on the show, was her successful finish of the Tahoe 200. There is so much more that this woman has accomplished, and her list of future accolades continues to grow. We hope that she inspires you as much as she inspires us.
