QT2 Systems - My Life as a Pro - Episode 1 - Linsey Corbin
Manage episode 395814887 series 1021705
Have you ever wondered about the life of a professional triathlete? In this podcast series, we interview current and retired QT2 Systems Professional Triathletes, exploring the path to earning (and maintaining) a pro license, the nuts and bolts of training and racing, and the ups and downs along the way. The guests also share how being a pro triathlete shaped their lives, and what advice they would give to their younger selves.
Episode 1 features Linsey Corbin. Linsey joined the pro ranks in 2006. In her 17 years a professional triathlete, she raced more than 30 IRONMAN events, taking the overall win a remarkable 8 times (and finishing on the podium a total of 20 times). Linsey also raced 15 IRONMAN World Championship events - the most of any professional woman. Linsey was coached by QT2 Systems founder Jesse Kropelnicki from 2014 through her retirement in 2022. Already a multi-time champion and top five Kona finisher, she came to Jesse because she "wanted someone who genuinely cared" and who would pay attention to all of the details. Jesse taught her that to be successful, she needed to balance her training. He was there to hold her back when she needed to be held back, and push her when she needed to be pushed. She also enjoyed and valued being a part of the QT2 Team.
If you do had the opportunity to do it all again, would you? "Oh Yeah"! Don't think just do.
