## Resource

This week on The Real Triathlon Podcast, we're joined by Steph Clutterbuck for a refreshingly candid conversation! Steph shares the profound challenges of her 2023 season, including a diagnosis of Myocarditis and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and how these health hurdles forced her to redefine her relationship with training, metrics, and even her "off-season." Dive deep into the less glamorous realities of pro triathlon, discover Steph's secret competitive dreams (involving horses!), and learn about her surprising aversion to open water swimming. We also explore her insights on the support for women's racing and the groundbreaking decision behind her OnlyFans sponsorship. Steph candidly discusses how this platform empowers her to fund her career, share authentic content, and connect directly with fans, all while challenging industry norms and championing a new model for athlete support. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the unfiltered life of a professional triathlete!
