Chelsea Sodaro and Sarah Piampiano both had very different experiences when they each became professional triathletes. Chelsea came from a professional running background and Sarah was a banker and age group athlete before turning pro. After turning pro, they were both struck by how talented their competitors were and had expected to continue to make huge leaps in performance, leading Sarah to think that she could be World Champion within her first few years of racing. Once they reached a plateau, Chelsea and Sarah both found a new motivation to get each and every small improvement possible by continually grinding away!
