Gwen Jorgensen

I want to push on that even further.

So Gwen Jorgensen reached out to me at InsideTracker in 2016 when she was living between Australia and America.

And that was the year that she won Olympic gold in triathlon.

She wanted to do a partnership and We weren't ready at the time, but it wouldn't have been a good fit anyways.

But they're both still interesting themselves.

Yeah, and the other thing that I want to add to that is nowadays, everyone is so accessible.

Like if you were to DM Gwen Jorgensen, she might reply.

And I think that's also kind of cool.

The key protagonists are Taylor Neub, who's a multiple silver medalist at the Olympics and multiple half Ironman world champion, and just won Kona, the big deal, the big kahuna on the big island, Ironman world champion, which is her lifelong dream.

Gwen, my wife, a former Olympian finalist, is the lady in the beanie, so now we know who the main protagonists are, and of course I'm there.

I just want to warn you that, again, we're not able to edit this, and it's been pushed out live.

There is a bit of an echo in the sound in the beginning.

Welcome to the Level Up Live podcast.

And today we have a very special guest, none other than Taylor Knibb.

Welcome Taylor and Gwen, my wife, gorgeous Gwen.

And then that's it.

There's a lot of sick athletes out there.

In fact, uh, one of the folks that we had pinned down for today's little sugar recap, Gwen Jorgensen didn't even get a chance to race.

So we're going to catch up with her when we get back to Durango next week.

But today instead we have Jess Cole Paton.

...

I'm more interested in the three months, six months, 10 years leading up to getting to that start line and how you're going to think when things get hard and what you're gonna do when things don't go your way, or how do you-- Like the conversation I had with Gwen Jorgensen, like, congrats, you're an Olympic gold medalist.

Um, that's, that's not relatable at all.

What happened next? Like, these are the-

She's doing a lot of racing in this back end of the year.

We've got Kate Waff, uh, Gwen Jorgensen, Marta Kropko, um, Sophie Malawicki, the Aussie, she's pretty good.

Um, Bria Roddick.

Nina Eim.

You know, there could be a bit of a swim, bike breakaway here, so, um...

Yeah, I'm gonna go Kate Wurf.

Kate Wurf, Gwen Jorgensen.

Um, I take that back.

Yeah.

I remember, just digressing a little bit, but Gwen Jorgensen, Olympic champion from 2016, who, yeah, a lot of our listeners will know, and also Pat Lemieux, her husband.

So I used to train with them for about five or six years leading into Rio Olympics.

And back then we used to use tubular wheels.
