from The PA Is In | Tracy Bingaman | Physician Assistant/Physician Associate/PA-C/PA-S/PA Student · host Tracy Bingaman, PA-C | The Money PA | Physician Assistant | Physician Associate

This summer, I took on one of the biggest physical and mental challenges of my life: my very first Ironman 70.3. That’s 1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles of biking, and a 13.1-mile run—all in a single day.In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the full story—what training really looked like while balancing work, family, and life, how I approached fueling for endurance (and what I’d do differently), and what it felt like to stand on the starting line of an Ironman event for the first time.There were high points, low points, lessons learned, and a finish line that I’ll never forget. Whether you’re a fellow endurance athlete, someone curious about triathlons, or just looking for inspiration to take on your own “big scary thing,” this episode is a real and honest look at what it takes to prepare for and complete a half Ironman.FREE 30-MINUTE COACHING CONSULT⁠ ⁠⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/gen-call⁠ ⁠ ⁠1-ON-1 NEGOTIATION CONSULT ⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/negotiate⁠⁠CONNECT WITH TRACY 🤝⁠LINKEDIN ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tracybingaman.com⁠🎁 Bonus Freebie: Grab your free guide with 48 healthcare-specific side hustle ideas at 👉 tracybingaman.com/gigIronman 70.3 experience, first half Ironman race, triathlon training tips, fueling for endurance events, Ironman nutrition lessons, balancing Ironman training with family, half Ironman race recap, first Ironman reflections, triathlon podcast episode, swim bike run podcast, endurance athlete story, beginner Ironman journey, training for 70.3 miles, Ironman tips for moms, balancing triathlon with career, PA triathlete story, mindset lessons from endurance
