You'll hear:
07:00 We talk about the pie of life, taking different paths in life, choice and compromise
10:00 Listening to your gut to explore new things
13:00 What does Chrissie mean by her book title 'A Life Without Limits'?
19:00 Does Chrissie remember the first time we met? Oh there are some good stories in this section!!!
34:00 Why Chrissie enjoyed doing endurance challenges when she retired from professional sport, to avoid having an outcome goal.

43:00 The bigger picture of being able to inspire others through sport. 'We can each pay it forward and that's the beauty to me of sport, much less about your own achievement. There's a deep satisfaction of achieving your goal, but there is so much more to it."
47:00 Why it can be hard to step away when you have a platform and you are good at something.
58:00 Knowing that there's life beyond triathlon for professional sports people and that your self worth is more spacious than you as swim bike run.

A note from Helen
This is the last episode of the Inside Tri Show. This conversation with Chrissie sums up so much of why I am stopping. I have done more than I thought possible and I am signing off with a very happy heart. This podcast would never have got to twenty two episodes, let alone two episodes, if it wasn't for you listening and supporting me and for my guests taking the time to talk to me.
I am so grateful for the friendships the podcast has brought me, the connections I have made and the life lessons I have learnt. It's been an absolute pleasure and I hope it will continue to inspire people in the world of endurance sports. Thank you xx
