Lisa Bentley - A Canadian powerhouse athlete

Living With Cystic Fibrosis

54 years ago when Canadian, Lisa Bentley was born, enzymes weren't even in pill form. Diagnosed at age 20, Lisa was already in the midst of figuring out her life as a teacher and later, a world famous triathlete. She had 11 IRONMAN victories on several continents with at least one IRONMAN victory each year from 2000 to 2007. She is an author, coach, wife, and trainer. She talks about how mental strength and positive talk are everything, and it's important to remember who you are and why you're doing what you do.

She brings us so much wisdom in this podcast. She was competing in one worldwide event and she was very sick. She reminded herself that she may not win, but that she would do her best for the CF community. She took antibiotics and powered through.

You will walk away from this podcast with a plan of positivity for your life.
