Episode 74: Taking opportunities on your own terms!

Lyd shares her 2025 goals...as an athlete, person and as a coach/ bike fitter... The plan is, there is no plan. The plan is to be looking for a feeling of knowing when the right moment is to make a decision to enter a race (or not), to be patient with the process and not fixated on a deadline. This is quite a unique episode where there is a recap on Lyd's journey to date, starting from 2018 through to now. In 2018, Lyd had not completed a middle or full distance triathlon (and could barely run 10km without stopping). But in 2022, went onto take the overall win at Ironman Lanzarote (setting a new bike course record), racing in the professional field. This was not a trajectory that she would have predicted for herself and in some ways, was not quite ready but has learnt so much as part of this journey, including her diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorder. This year, Lyd is launching herself into 2025 armed with so much more of a sense of self and knowing what her journey looks like and how to nail this year on her terms.
