In this episode we talk with pro triathlete Meg Dirito about:

• What a training day of a pro triathlete looks like
• Prepping for a race
• Race day nutrition

Meg Dirito is a pro triathlete, Division 1 elite swimmer, mom, wife, and emergency veterinarian. She's been an athlete since she was a child, going from dancer to elite level gymnast, swimmer, then on to field hockey, and track. She was recruited by D1 schools for the latter three, but ultimately chose her first love, swimming, attending Bucknell University.

There, she set meet, league and school records that had stood for more than 10 years. She qualified for NCAAs and Olympic Trials and was inducted into the Bucknell Sports Hall of Fame. It wasn’t until 2018 that she picked up a bike to race, and had her husband - who was a cyclist at North Carolina State University - teach her how to ride. After a self-taught first year, she qualified for Worlds 70.3, then started to train for the full distance. As an age grouper, she qualified for 5 world championships, including Kona, and took her professional license in 2023. Aside from triathlon, she races masters swimming in pool and open water, and also competes in marathon distances.

• Balancing career, life and motherhood
• The evolution of her nutrition strategies
• Theories on overcoming her GI distress

Laura King is a dynamic professional, whose journey seamlessly integrates her passions for endurance sports, marketing, and community building. Her athletic career began in competitive swimming, eventually leading her to triathlons, where she competed for over a decade, including participation in the Ironman World Championships.

Through her social media platform and work to expand cycling participation, Laura has used her voice to advocate for the representation of women in the sport of cycling. She has been outspoken about the ability for women to simultaneously have children while continuing to pursue their passions. Throughout her pregnancy, Laura was able to ride over 7,000 miles, which enabled her to maintain what fuels her spirit. She is passionate about highlighting the positives of a life with children and the ability for it to exist in harmony with one’s own endeavors.

Over the holidays, we're bringing back our top 5 episodes of 2024, that we think deserve another listen. One of our most downloaded this year was this one with ultrarunner and triathlete, Lucy Bartholomew. We chatted about nutrition, running, diving into triathlon and why we love sport. Lucy has so many nuggets that we think all athletes can benefit from. We'll be back January 7 with all new episodes!

Lucy Bartholomew is a 27-year-old ultra trail runner from Melbourne, Australia. She is a part of the Salomon global running team, along with support from Coros, Spring Energy and Julbo. Lucy ran her first 100km at 15 alongside her Dad, who encouraged her and shared the path less trodden. Lucy now travels the world to race but, more importantly, to share stories, connect with communities and show online that there are highs and lows in chasing something passionately.
