Ep. #40: Barret Fishner Pro Mountain Biker & Xterra Triathlete Not Letting His Past Confine Him

Growing up as a country boy along the coastal mountains of Oregon, it only seems natural that this week's guest gravitated towards the sport of mountain biking. Honing his bike-handling skills by watching and then trying all the stunts in the New World Disorders videos, at the age of 19, he started his career as an elite mountain-bike and cyclocross athlete - a career where he didn't live up to his full potential. One day, as a last minute decision, he entered the Duathlon National Champs, without training for the run - performing alright. After moving overseas with his wife (who's active-duty), he decided to leave behind the burnout of the past and pursue a new passion and face the challenges of Off-Road Triathlon. With each success or failure in Triathlon - he learns and discovers new things about himself; he shares these learnings and his passion for sport with the kids he volunteer coaches, helping them fuel their own growth and passion. He's a Pro Xterra Triathlete, a husband, volunteer, he works, and is a brand new dad - Barret Fishner [@bfish_83]. - SHOW NOTES / WEBSITE: - FEEDBACK: to help us improve the show going forward, please take 5 minutes to share your anonymous and honest feedback here - -
