FB70 with Super Ironmum Beth Gerdes

In todays Fat Black podcast Pete and I get to speak with Luke Mckenzies better half Beth Gerdes. Beth didn't muck around getting back into all things triathlon after the birth of their gorgeous little Wynne McKenzie and 6 months after the birth of Wynne, Beth had an absolute cracker at Ironman Western Australia coming in 4th with a fast 9:04 IM split and hauling assimus on the run and knocking out a handy 2:58:17.

The biggest take home from this interview with Beth would have to be her looking at the opportunities in things and having gratitude. Great lessons.

• Training through pregnancy.


• Managing being a new mum and training for Ironman.


• Support and Aunty Jackie.


• We talk IMWA, the race and the mental side of it.


• We talk fast AG men and how it affects pro women on the bike.


• What drives Beth.


• We go into Beths background as a school psychologist.


• The lessons.


• Beths biggest 'failure' ... this one is deep!


• And of course her greatest and proudest achievement so far.
