Hundred-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put,  200-meter run (day one). Running long (broad) jump, javelin throw, and 800-meter run (day two). All those events: One. Superstar. Athlete. For episode 99 (!!) I’m chatting with Georgia Ellenwood, heptathlete and Olympic hopeful. We sat down earlier this year at the Under Armour Human Performance Summit, and let me tell you — for a woman in her mid-20s, Georgia is wise beyond her years (also: stunning both inside and out). On today’s show, we talk about everything from what life was like for her growing up in the Vancouver area, crossing the border to go to college at the University Wisconsin, and the struggles she’s had along the way in her athletic career so far. We also touch on what was a major #hurdlemoment for her, dropping out of a track meet part-way through due to a bad case of plantar fasciitis, and how she didn’t let that one “failure” define her.
