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 3 features Lenny Ramsey. Neuroscientist by day. Triathlete by night. This woman somehow found a way to balance it all. Lenny "fell" into the sport of triathlon in 2014 as a path to recovery from knee surgery. She soon found that she had a natural talent (coupled with a tremendous work ethic), and in just her second season racing, qualified for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships. The following year, she took the overall Age Group win at two IRONMAN 70.3 events, earning her pro card. Lenny started racing pro in 2017, now coached by Tim Snow. Over the next six years, Lenny raced full seasons as a pro triathlete while at the same time continuing with her full time job and life at home. To keep it all in the balance, Lenny learned to be very strict with her schedule and focus on what she was doing at that moment in time (and not worrying about what she wasn't doing).
After a strong race at IRONMAN Maryland in 2023, Lenny decided to retire from the sport of triathlon. The balance of life had shifted enough that she no longer felt like she had the time she needed to compete at the level she knew she was capable. When asked if she would do it again, her answer was "100% ... I wouldn't give it up for the world." She will forever value the opportunity she had to race at the highest level and to learn what her body was capable of. Her advice to her younger self - "Don't put so much pressure on yourself ... things don't always need to be perfect."
