She's been an athlete since she was a child, going from dancer to elite level gymnast, swimmer, then on to field hockey, and track. She was recruited by D1 schools for the latter three, but ultimately chose her first love, swimming, attending Bucknell University.  There, she set meet, league and school records that had stood for more than 10 years. She qualified for NCAAs and Olympic Trials and was inducted into the Bucknell Sports Hall of Fame. It wasn’t until 2018 that she picked up a bike to race, and had her husband - who was a cyclist at North Carolina State University - teach her how to ride. After a self-taught first year, she qualified for Worlds 70.3, then started to train for the full distance. As an age grouper, she qualified for 5 world championships, including Kona, and took her professional license in 2023. Aside from triathlon, she races masters swimming in pool and open water, and also competes in marathon distances.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis and treatment.Connect w/ Meg: IG: www.instagram.com/dirito21/TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@megdiritoFacebook: www.facebook.com/meghan.freesedirito/Mentioned:Supplements that Improve Performance CourseSkratch Super Hi-Carb: https://amzn.to/3Swt2YKSkratch Hydration: https://amzn.to/3ZeoGZWLong Run Coffee (use code SUNNYSOCAL for 15% off): www.longruncoffee.comNuun: https://amzn.to/3H4PbL8Maurten: https://amzn.to/3YI6TudPrime Caffeine: https://amzn.to/455vsFeCronometer PRO: https://p.bttr.to/3y1VneETruvani: https://amzn.to/3S2sObOTart Cherry: https://amzn.to/42WJDv1AltRed: https://amzn.to/3F5ZpuePillar Performance, Available on TheFeed: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolutionMORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → [email protected] in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?
