Then for our Power Up segment we bring on Team Wilpers coach Laurel Wassner (AKA Sarah's sister) to discuss the popular question of, "Can I train for a triathlon on a Peloton?” We keep Laurel on for our Powerhouse segment because she is truly and inspiration to our community as the first cancer survivor to become a professional triathlete and multiple Ironman champion who recently channeled her passion for coaching during the pandemic.
