We're Back B*tches #5: Press Conference & Race Day Vibes with Announcer, Joanne Murphy

<p>On the eve of the IRONMAN World Championship, we’re joined by Feisty co-host and official race announcer Joanne Murphy, who somehow survives a week of wall-to-wall press conferences, interviews, banquets, and race-day hype—without totally losing her voice (or her mind).</p><p>We talk about what it's <em>actually</em> like behind the scenes in Kona, how she preps for the chaos, and why she still makes time to soak in the magic.</p><p>This year’s theme? Resilience. We’ve got highlights from the pro press conference and voices from two women who know this race inside and out: Diana Bertsch, IRONMAN’s SVP of World Championship Events, and Hall of Famer Cherie Gruenfeld. They remind us what makes this place—and this race—so legendary.</p><p>Want to watch the action live?
