In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with my friend and very talented athlete Ellie Salthouse. Ellie recently won the female Professional division at IRONMAN© 70.3 Boulder. We talk in depth about her training with Siri Lindley and her preparation going into this race. We talk about the details of the strategy and what it’s like to lead the race. Ellie is such a humble person and very down to earth. I’m so grateful for this chance to share this small snapshot of her journey along the way to her day at the IRONMAN© 70.3 World Championships in September. She gives a great amount of credit to her coach and the ability to push hard and also stay within herself while using her ability to go hard in each moment.
