#535 Victory After the Cutoff with Chris Sjothun

Victory After the Cutoff centers on a powerful feature interview with age‑group triathlete Chris Sjothun, whose race at IRONMAN 70.3 Texas ended at the swim cutoff—but sparked a much bigger conversation about resilience, mindset, and redefining success. Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde unpack what it means to show up fully when things don’t go as planned, alongside Grit2Greatness announcements, a Get Gritty Tip woven through the mindset discussion, Workout of the Week themes around consistency, and a fun April Fools–themed segment that separates endurance myths from real performance science.
