This week we bring you a replay of one of our favorite recent guests, Mel Urie, who conquered the grueling  Uberman triathlon. The 556 mile course goes from the Mists of Avalon to the Snows of Mount Whitney.  Starting on Catalina Island, participants swim 21 miles in the open Pacific Ocean to the shores of Palos Verdes. The 400 mile bike route leaves the city of Angels and climbs 20,000 vertical feet before descending to Badwater basin, at 200 feet below sea level, the lowest point in North America. From Badwater, athletes run 135 miles  through Death Valley before ascending 13,000 feet to the trailhead @ Mt Whitney, the highest peak in the Continental United States.” You are going to LOVE this episode, so sit back and enjoy.   Connect with Melissa Urie: Instragram: @rangamel Facebook: Melissa Urie -Ultra Endurance Athlete ------------------------------------------ Age Groupies is brought to you by UCAN!

Today Mike leads us in a meditation to connect to happiness. Not just happy thoughts, but the actual feeling of happiness and joy that we experience. This is important because of how easy it is for negative or unpleasant experiences to "stick" and positive or pleasant experiences to "slide off" afterwards. This is an exercise we can all do to connect to the good things happening around us and build resilience. This meditation was inspired by the book "Hardwiring Happiness" by Dr. Rick Hanson. Pick up a coptopday for yourself to get more in depth on how to hardwire happiness to your brain. =========================================== Thanks for checking out Age Groupies Podcast, a podcast for amateur endurance athletes.

Mike and Lindsay discuss how we can take care of our mental health and fitness together. Many of us in the endurance scene carry mental health challenges along with us including trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and more. While triathlon and distance running and cycling have their place in healing and treatment, they are not the "end-all-be-all." If you have concerns about your mental health or if you are having thoughts of suicide, please call the crisis hotline and talk to someone confidentially and free.

Today’s guest is Melissa Urie aka Ranga Mel. Mel was a guest for episode 46 back in October where she told us about racing the Epic 5. Today we get to hear about how Mel was the first woman in history to finish Uberman. The Uberman website describes it as “ the world's most challenging Ultra Triathlon.  The 556 mile course goes from the Mists of Avalon to the Snows of Mount Whitney.  Starting on Catalina Island, participants swim 21 miles in the open Pacific Ocean to the shores of Palos Verdes. The 400 mile bike route leaves the city of Angels and climbs 20,000 vertical feet before descending to Badwater basin, at 200 feet below sea level, the lowest point in North America. From Badwater, athletes run 135 miles  through Death Valley before ascending 13,000 feet to the trailhead @ Mt Whitney, the highest peak in the Continental United States.” You are going to LOVE this episode, so sit back and enjoy.   Connect with Melissa Urie: Instragram: @rangamel Facebook: Melissa Urie -Ultra Endurance Athlete     Age Groupies is excited to announce a new sponsor: Cycle Cast!

This week Angel joins us to talk about her insane year in triathlon. Angel completed six full IRONMAN  and three half IRONMAN triathlons, which was over 1,000 miles of human-powered movement.

This showed her how precious the time we have on earth really is.  You can see her talk more about this on camera in this video.
