The Transformation Process of Changing Athletes for the Better.
The Uphill Goat is back! I had this conversation with Danny back in January, and I'm super excited for all of you to be able to enjoy it now.
Danny is a professional marathon mountain bike racer, racing the UCI marathon World Cup circuit in Europe along with other big one-day races.
In this episode, we dive into his journey of racing from a teenager at the National Championships with Keegan Swenson to his current goals and hopes as he balances being a husband, and father, working full time, and racing professionally.
Danny is super impressive on the bike and an even more impressive person. I loved chatting with him and learned a lot about discipline, grit, and following your dreams from our conversation. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

My stretch goal was 6 hours, but I would be stoked to be anywhere under sub 6:30. Top 10 is 6:26, so that was something I thought could potentially be in the cards if everything went perfectly.
