It’s time to say goodbye to Witsup. The thing is, I don’t want to write “it’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye … “ because my heart has done so much heavy lifting the last few weeks, if not months, as I have come to the incredibly tough decision to close down WITSUP and move on.
I want to say that I’m finally in a space that it’s with a light and happy heart that I can close this chapter, be excited about the next one and truly celebrate all of the awesomeness that WITSUP has achieved over a decade.
From day one, WITSUP was a fight for improving the media landscape and the community for women in triathlon and sport, and we achieved so much in this space. But, for me, I now need to move on and find what lights my fire again.
We decided to give WITSUP a send off via a podcast, so if you want to join us for an emotional trip down memory lane, we asked some of our faves to help share some stories.
Hot tip: Don’t edit your own finale podcast - it was brutal, but a beautiful thing. Thanks to Linsey Corbin, Belinda Granger, Mirinda Carfrae, Laura Siddall, Jordan Blanco, Meredith Kessler, Caroline Steffen, Rachel Joyce and Lizzy Blatchford.
So what’s next? I’m not entirely sure, but I know I’ll dive in with the passion and drive I had when we launched WITSUP. And stay tuned, maybe the podcast will be back but will just be slightly different. Who knows. But firstly, and most importantly, I’m going to change the batteries in Frankie’s toy that I’ve been telling her I’ll do for weeks, steal a few extra cuddles, and probably have a gin.
Thank you everyone so so much for all of your support over the years. It’s been a hell of a ride.

Jen Annett - Do tough and stubborn fall into the same category?
Jen Annett may be giggly, but she’s one of the toughest racers in the professional triathlon world. Her passion is apparent as she overcomes being diagnosed with Epilepsy while becoming one of the fastest triathletes in the world. We discuss her journey into the world of professional triathlon world after moving on from her days working at a bank. From breakthroughs to breakdowns, we unpack the ups and downs of her triathlon career so far. From chasing down the cheetah Liz Lyles to getting hit by a media moto in Kona, she’s experienced the highest highs to the lowest lows. We loved our chat and can’t wait to see her back on the race course.
Quote highlights include:
“When I'm out there racing. I’m not there for all the fluffiness. I’m there to put my head down and do my absolute best.” (6:10)
“Do tough and stubborn fall into the same category?” (7:08)
“At the end of the day Ironman is tough no matter what.” (9:58)
“Put your head down there’s always a little more to give.” (22:16)
“We all need something to smile about.”(53:02)
“If we’re enjoying life, that’s all that matters” (1:20.32)
