Breaking Barriers, Setting Records – Women Who Changed the Race with Joanne Murphy

This week on The Giddy Up Edge, we bring you a tribute to the fearless pioneers, champions, and changemakers who’ve shaped women’s triathlon and Ironman racing into what it is today. Hosted by Evan Gruda and Michellie Jones, this episode is a full-throttle celebration of grit, glory, and legacy.

We’re joined by the powerhouse voice of triathlon, Joanne Murphy — the first-ever female lead announcer at the Ironman World Championship in Kona — as we dive into:

The roots of women’s racing, from Lyn Lemaire to Julie Moss
Dominance across eras from Paula Newby-Fraser to Daniela Ryf
The Olympic trailblazers and golden moments from Sydney to Rio
Kona queens, finish line icons, and voices that moved the sport forward

We also break down Kat Matthews' record-smashing performance at Ironman Texas and look ahead to the future of women’s racing, including Taylor Knibb’s electric rise and what’s next in Kona.

Whether you're training, recovering, or reminiscing—this one’s for every woman who raced, led, inspired, and endured.
History. Legacy. Heart. Let's Giddy Up.
