Today's feature interview is a teaser for an upcoming interview. Siri Lindley who was on the UCAN coaches panel.  I thought the advice she had for athletes during this time of COVID had some great wisdom - "We've been a gift.  Not training balls out is going to take discipline. Reframe as an opportunity to strengthen the parts of our life that needed work and bring us into our racing season when it comes." Siri was the World Cup Series winner in 2001 and 2002.  One of the winningest triathletes in triathlon history.  Triathlete of the year in both 2001 and 2002, and inducted into the USA TRIATHLON Hall of Fame in 2016.  We spoke to Siri back in 2017 about her career and we wanted to share that with you as a combo teaser and get to know Siri before we talk to her again.

By now you have probably heard that the 2020 Ironman World Championship that was originally rescheduled from October 2020 to February 2021 has now been cancelled.  I have been thinking about how much I am going to miss going there with Bill and Khem and the 303 team.  I'm going to miss seeing and being in the presence of the heroes and legends of the sport.  Some of you are going to miss racing in February. One of my favorite memories of my visits was the first time when Bill and I sat at Huggo's watching the Bob Babbitt show and the plan was to interview Mike Reilly after he (Mike) was finished with his interview with Bob.  We also asked Bob to sit down with us and talk about the history of Ironman.  Also in Today's Show: Feature Interviews Endurance News - Kona and STRAVA ransomware outage What's New in the 303 - TTSC, Epic Tri Video of the week   Announcements: We have a new 303 Site sponsor - Buddy Insurance - more on that later Please subscribe to 303 Endurance on the website on the podcast   Sponsor
