Mom and Pro Triathlete - Ana Filipa Santos

Triathlon has been one of my favourite sports for quite some time now, and I had the opportunity to speak with incredible Pro mother triathletes for the past few weeks where they shared their active pregnancy experience, recovery and motherhood journey, and this left me thinking that women are in fact true superhumans.

In Today's episode, my guest is Ana Filipa Santos, one of our dearest Portuguese Pro Triathletes, a 4-time National middle distance triathlon champion, 4 times national duathlon champion, 2 times Olympic distance triathlon champion, and 2 times Iberian middle-distance champion.
