We know you’ve all been kept on the edge of seats for weeks now (unless you follow us on Instagram) about how that all turned out, so in this episode we share the inside details of all that racing… in a short (for us), to the point, recap so not to bore you to sleep. Then…. we change directions to look forward and shed some light on all the new stuff we’ve got cooking for 2023 in terms of training plans, training programs, coaching and other cool stuff we’ve been sweating away working on over the past several months. This episode brings the conclusion of Season 3 of the podcast.
