How cool is it to seemingly come out of the womb living the triathlon life? Well, for Logan Cunningham, her triathlon roots run deep, tracing back to her grandfather and father. This remarkable athlete's journey in multisport spans over 15 years, exploring the dedication, family legacy, and leadership that define her extraordinary career.
At just 13, Logan completed her first Olympic-distance race, setting the stage for a lifetime of athletic pursuits. She shares candid insights into growing up immersed in the sport, competing alongside future Olympian Taylor Knibb, and the pivotal role her supportive parents played in her development. We delve into her collegiate experience at UC Santa Barbara, where she thrived in a highly competitive club triathlon program, balancing rigorous training with academic life.
But Logan's journey isn’t just about personal athleticism—it’s about community, leadership, and growth. In this episode, Logan opens up about organizing Amazon’s corporate cycling team for the Armed Forces Cycling Classic, growing it from 20 riders to 90 in just three years, and winning the corporate challenge while creating space for others to discover their potential through sport. Her leadership not only built camaraderie but also demonstrated the power of sport in the workplace and the importance of inclusive opportunities. Additionally, you will hear about the unexpected pivot to boxing and why she’s stepping into the ring for a cancer research fundraiser this September.
Throughout the conversation, Logan reflects on the deeper themes of resilience, purpose, and giving back. She discusses what it means to stay in a sport long-term, especially when balancing a full-time career, and how personal growth often happens not just through medals but through pivots, pauses, and reinventions. Whether you’re new to triathlon, considering a comeback, or curious about how people blend sport with their everyday lives, Logan’s journey is a reminder that endurance isn’t just physical—it’s personal, communal, and ever-evolving.
