Join us on this week's podcast as we get to know Colin, his endurance background and the amazing revelation he has had in six short weeks on the team. Whether you are just starting out, or a total endurance veteran, we all can relate to his story and we know you will walk away empowered, excited and maybe with a new goal of your own to tackle.
