Episode 91: Overcoming Obstacles to Become a Female Pro Cyclist

Becky Furuta is on the podcast this week. This busy mother of two currently juggles being a pro athlete for Team Noro Nordisk and a diabetes ambassador. And when she’s not racing her bike, Furuta is caring for her children and serving as the owner and sports vision specialist in Golden, CO, and owner and co-founder of a private label eyewear company. She holds a master’s degree in Public Health Policy from the University of Colorado and works as a consultant on childhood anti-obesity and public health campaigns. In 2017, Furuta won the Colorado State Time Trial Championship, setting a new course record. In 2018, she finished sixth at the Women’s Professional Criterium at Colorado Classic. She has an inspiring story on how she got to where she is today. And a huge thanks to Primalwear and Pat Mayben for connecting us while we were at the UCI World Cup in Iowa City. www.teamnoronordisk.com www.primalwear.com www.murphologypodcast.com www.Patreon.com/Murphology
