Episode 22: Adventure Racing with Sonja Wieck

Sonja Wieck is an elite athlete and self-described adventure girl who has completed 18 Ironman races. In 2019, she and her team were selected to compete in “The World’s Toughest Race: EcoChallenge Fiji” hosted by Bear Grylls on Amazon Prime (which you can see now!). In this conversation we talk riding mountain bikes that are way too big for you; swimming with 3,000 of your closest friends; Fijian women with donuts; panic attacks; learning what you’re really capable of; and so much more. So find out why Sonja loves adventure racing - and why you might learn to love it, too!
