Angelina’s winning reflections on her 70.3 DNF

**Episode 16: Angelina’s winning reflections on her 70.3 DNF** Those Queens of Chaos, Ursula and the Beast, are back in the hot tub with their first European guest: Angelina, a Scottish mother and age-group triathlete whose journey from inactivity to endurance sport is anything but ordinary. Angeline is a vibrant and authentic character who has grown an inspired and inspiring Instagram following. Angelina shares how she learned to run and entered her first triathlon despite barely being able to swim, owning no bike, and never having raced before. She talks candidly about attempting Ironman Bolton, missing the bike cutoff by just three minutes.  She reflected on her effort and came up with a list of simple things she could do differently next time. She returned stronger, more knowledgeable and with an unstoppable attitude at Challenge Almere. Along the way, she reveals how sport helped her rebuild her identity, maintain sobriety, and inspire her daughters. Ursula and the Beast explore the barriers that hold women back from triathlon, including confidence, money, time, and motherhood. Funny, honest, and packed with hard-won lessons, this episode proves that anyone can start from zero and become an athlete.
