This week we catch up with the five women who will be taking on THE ROC Wales in September 2023 as part of the Inside Tri Show team. It's a unique format for a triathlon: 1500m sea swim, 50km bike, 12km mountain run, 50km bike, 1km beach run. The five women all have very different backgrounds, very busy lives and they're passionate about showing what is possible. Plus you'll find out how host Helen gets on, taking on the early season 'THE ROC Wales,' her first triathlon since a DNF at Lakesman in 2021.

You'll hear:
