This episode features Alex and Lisa, two of the original 10Ironwomen. 10Ironwomen is a group of women championing female strength & determination, based In London but with a membership that spans the globe! Since signing up for and completing their first Ironman, Barcelona in October 2019, they have been on a mission to address the gender imbalance in Ironman events and sport in general. They hope to achieve a 50-50 gender split in an Ironman event. The 10Ironwomen team wants all women to believe they can achieve ANY challenge they set their minds to, and that there are no limits!

Alex Morgan always loved sports as a child, but her shyness held her back from competing in sports at the college and university levels. She eventually discovered that she loves athletic challenges! After having completed only one triathlon, she found herself signed up for Ironman Barcelona with 10Ironwomen.

Lisa Morman (@lisa_morman) is a Charted Financial Adviser who has developed her love for sport over the last 5 years, despite not being ‘the sporty type’ when she was younger. She is one of the 10Ironwomen who took on Ironman Barcelona in October 2019.
