192 - IRONMAN© 70.3 Waco - Natasha van der Merwe Professional

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk talented athlete Natasaha Van Der Merwe about her race at the inaugural IRONMAN© 70.3 Waco. This race is unique for a few different reasons but for starters the race featured no swim and a time trail start. Natasha was the leader of the race and we talk about how this felt for her and what it meant for her as a professional to race the lead. She uses Tower 26 for her swim training and has a clever way of managing her life/work/training balance in order to integrate it all together. I learned so much from her in this episode and we catch up after her race at IRONMAN© Arizona. Stay tuned. Thank you Natasha for coming on the show. I enjoyed this chance to talk with you and value our friendship.-This episode is sponsored by Wastach Apparel.-Enjoy the show.
