231 Frankie Sanjana - a podcast by Rob Wilby

Former rower turned triathlete Frankie Sanjana joins us on the show this week.   Frankie has come a long way since doing her first Ironman in 2013, when she took over 8 hours to complete the marathon!   She is an amazing example of an athlete who has plugged away for years, battled with injuries and is finally seeing the rewards.  In 2019, she finished Galveston 70.3 between Meredith Kessler and Linsey Corbin and her time was 25 minutes faster than 12 months prior. 

You’ll hear:

*Why she switched from rowing to triathlon

*About her decision to ditch the age group ranks and turn pro in 2015

*How listening to her body and learning to back off has helped her training and racing

*How she improved her 70.3 performance by 25 minutes in a year

*Why she ended up being pushed through Heathrow in a wheelchair after her first Ironman
