In this episode, we are chatting with Marathon swimmer Catherine Breed about her record setting 25 mile swim across Monterey Bay!!

This story has it all- the pure human will to battle through miles and miles of open ocean battling all sorts of obstacles like jellyfish, freezing cold water, whale poop, and great white encounters. Catherine is an astounding athlete who has turned a collegiate swimming career into a passion for open water marathon swimming!

We chat all about what it takes for open water marathon swimmers to complete these huge swims, the lessons she has learned along the way, what it was like to complete an epic adventure with the Iron Cowboy James Lawrence, how she handles intimidation and big challenges, and we compare these events to ultramarathons.

Hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did!!

#279: Catherine Breed -- Marathon Swimming, Record Setting Swim Across Monterey Bay

What does training and competing in mountain biking bring to our lives? What does it mean to have our "why" be "just because..."? How can we discover space and meaning through our breath? What is it like when you are "in the soup" and not "thinking about or judging the soup"?

This week's episode is with the incredibly insightful mountain biker, filmmaker, all around AWESOME human being James Adamson!!!

James is a person I look up to and turn to when in need of wonderful, thought provoking conversations that help put into perspective obstacles I'm working through. 

This episode is a great conversation about what he discovered through diving full on back into biking this summer and how those athletic endeavors and adventures can help us navigate our own experiences through the world!

I hope you enjoy the episode and find as many nuggets of wisdom as I did when we recorded!! Thanks James!!
