Heather Jackson has won six full Ironman triathlons,
16 Ironman 70.3 races, the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon and she
also won the Wildflower triathlon four times. She played D1 hockey

National team for cycling track racing. In 2023, she left triathlon

season she won the Belgian Waffle Ride San Diego and the Javelina
100 foot race.
I mean, damn.
Heather has an awesome YouTube channel and if you’re a fan, you
know she has done a lot of media and podcast appearances. In this
interview, we get into new material and talk about Heather’s mind
game, why she continues to take positive risks and try new things
and much more.

This episode is brought to you by Movemint. If you’ve ever
registered for a bike ride, run or charity event like a
walk-a-thon, you know the experience usually sucks. Movemint is a
new events registration platform that makes event discovery,
registration and management a better, more cost effective and
delightful experience for event promoters and customers. It’s
making a broken and bad experience so much better that I knew I had
to get involved and that’s why I’m an advisor to the company. If
you’re an event promoter, go to www.movemint.cc to learn more.
