The squad says no.), Lucy Charles-Barclay is back, and could we see the first sub-8 at Ironman Hamburg? And then Grace shares: The effect the new 20-meter draft rule has had in her races so far Why her post-college triathlon journey started with Orangetheory Fitness classes Being the first woman to ever win an age-group 70.3 outright, and the steady progress she's made over the years The most common questions (and mistakes) from the athletes she coaches Plus, she breaks down what a pro triathlete's week really looks like and how much volume she actually does.
