Canadian triathlete
POPULARITY
Angela Naeth is a Canadian Professional Triathlete who made a significant mark on the sport with her exceptional performances in both Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events in her 20 year long career. In 2015, she became the North American Ironman Champion, cementing her place among the elite triathletes of her generation. Known for her strength in cycling and running, Angela has consistently delivered top performances at major events, including multiple podium finishes at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship. In 2021 she finished 6th place OVERALL at Gravel Unbound, the worlds premier gravel cycling race and completed the grueling Leadville 100 in a blistering 8 hours and 22 minutes. Overcoming injuries throughout her career, she has demonstrated remarkable resilience. Angela actively shares her insights and experiences to inspire others and raise awareness for mental health as a coach and mental performance expert.
It was a great day for Angela Naeth at Ironman Chattanooga with a 6th place finish at her first Ironman after recovering from a broken hip and surgery in March. And what a comeback! She averaged over 25 mph on the bike and ran a 3:12 marathon. In this episode, we talk about the wild week before race day, how she approached a time trial start with no swim, her execution of nutrition and metrics, and her big takeaways from this first race back and the new bike course. Lots of good insights in here and a warning about sending a video of overalls... Have a listen!
Two-time Ironman Chattanooga winner (2014 & 2019) Angela Naeth talks all things Chatty in this course preview. We talk about why this race is so special to her and then go through everything from the layout of transition to the hilly run course. And yes, we talk about the NEW bike course, which is now only 112 miles and is mainly on a highway. Whether you are about to race Chattanooga or are thinking of racing it, this preview is for you! Have a listen!
In February of this year, as she was training for Ironman Texas, pro triathlete Angela Naeth suffered what could have been a career-ending injury: a femoral neck stress fracture. In March, she had to have surgery in order for it to heal properly. Just last week, she raced Challenge Cap Quebec, a half-distance triathlon, which proved to be a successful rehearsal for bigger goals ahead. But how did she get from needing to use a mop to stand up to crossing the finish line of a 70.3 almost 6 months later? In this episode, Angela tells her story. Her success lies not only in her positive mindset, but also in her willingness to let go. And at the end, she talks about her biggest takeaways from dealing with such a severe and scary injury.
Have you ever wondered about the life of a professional triathlete? In this podcast series, we interview current and retired QT2 Systems Professional Triathletes, exploring the path to earning (and maintaining) a pro license, the nuts and bolts of training and racing, and the ups and downs along the way. The guests also share how being a pro triathlete shaped their lives, and what advice they would give to their younger selves. Episode 7 features Angela Naeth. Angela raced her first triathlon in 2005 - an indoor pool swim, a 30K bike and a 8K trail run. She won. Angela raced her second triathlon in 2006 - a half distance. She won and earned her pro card. With $2000 in her pocket, a bike and a bag, and a dream to race as a professional triathlete, Angela left her home in Canada and came to the US. In the early part of her career, she raced frequently - living meagerly, she banked her earnings. In 2009, she won her first IRONMAN 70.3 - Boulder. That was the turning point. Over the years, she developed strong partnerships in the sport, continued to race frequently, and started making a legitimate living as a pro. After focusing on 70.3 for several years, she entered her first IRONMAN full distance in 2013. Despite all of her successes, Angela had never focused on her race fueling, and it ultimately caught up to her. After a disastrous race in Australia, Angela reached out to QT2 Systems founder Jesse Kropelnicki. With Jesse's coaching and nutrition guidance, Angela won her first IRONMAN in 2015 - IRONMAN Chattanooga. Angela continues to race professionally, coached by QT2 Systems Tim Snow. When faced with adversity, Angela gets up every time. Each challenge makes her stronger. Her tenacity shines through in her racing and her desire to help others. Angela gives back to the sport that gave her so much. She has created a community of female athletes with her I Race Like a Girl and Girls Get Gritty Teams.

We go a bit "lighter" in today's episode with some "mythbusting" about pro triathletes. How much money do pros really make from sponsorships and prize money? What's happening at their pro race briefings before races? How many hours a week do they train, for real? Do they like sharing the course with age groupers? Real talk, real answers... fact or fiction: pro triathlete edition! Have a listen!
The race recap from Ironman Cozumel is here! From a broken chain ring two days before the race to a cancelled swim, Angela faced some challenges in this race. However, she ended up 4th on the day, with the fastest female bike split. We review the hectic lead up to the race, how the day went, Angela's unique sewing skills, and Angela's top tips for racing Cozumel. Have a listen!
In this week's podcast, we focus on the top 5 topics that coaches often revisit over and over again with their athletes. And for good reason! These themes are the backbone of good training: reducing injury risk, aerobic zone training, fueling, hydration, and short term goals vs long term goals. We dive into each one of them and revisit the basics of training and the way we approach training. Also, we hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We are so grateful for your support of this podcast!

What an amazing, epic, challenging, and rewarding race day! From race week island vibes to pineapple rompers to the actual race day, we cover it all in this one. This was Amy's first Kona experience as an athlete racing, and Angela's first Kona as race support, so we have two fun perspectives on the whole week. This race is everything that they say it is. On paper, the course looks challenging but not daunting. Yet add in ocean swells and currents, wind and heat on both the bike and run, and being exposed all day to the sun with no shade in sight, well... you get probably the most brutal course on the Ironman circuit. However, 2039 of the 2097 athletes who started the race finished, the highest single day finish rate in all of Ironman World Championship history. Go women! We are proud to have witnessed this race in person, so have a listen to our Kona race recap!
What a day! This episode recaps Ironman Lake Placid, one of the most iconic Ironman races on the circuit. Angela was 4th female pro with a time of 9:32:23 and Amy was 10th in her age group with a 12:14:50 and got a Kona slot! We start with race week, and then head into the race. Angela shares her race strategy, her goals, and some funny moments, including Angela's T1 mishaps, getting peed on during the bike portion (!!), and Amy's biofreeze moment on River Road. The best part about this recap is that even though there may often be differences in the way an age grouper and a pro approach and execute an Ironman, we are all still on the same course, on the same day, experiencing the highs and lows, the challenges and setbacks, and that is the beauty of triathlon. Have a listen!
From IM Triathlons to being invited to participate in the Lifetime Grand Prix, meet fellow Canadian Angela Naeth. Angela is also the woman behind the brands and teams I Race Like a Girl & her now passion of Gravel racing and the creation of Girls Get Gritty. How she makes it all work while having a ton of fun.
Founder of I Race Like a Girl and Girls Get Gritty, Angela Naeth is no stranger to the triathlon and now the gravel scene! We talk about her experience as a professional cyclist and why having teams like I Race Like a Girl and Girls Get Gritty is important!
We all know that Angela Naeth does not shy away from a challenge or a new experience, and so when the opportunity arose to go bike packing, she was in. And even after she found out that they would be riding almost 150 miles a day, she still packed her stuff (first in grocery bags, as you will hear) and headed off to Pennsylvania for what turned out to be a wild adventure. From riding with no lights, to knocking on a random cabin in the woods, to eating Doritos and old soup at a lonely inn, this is one story you don't want to miss!
Grit, Guts and Determination: The Leadville Race Series Podcast
Tune in here to this episode of Grits, Guts, and Determination, The Leadville Race Series Podcast, a leading authority for all things Leadville! Host Cole Chlouber, son of race founder Ken Chlouber, takes us on a story-telling journey of the 38-year rich history of this race. We learn all the tips, tricks, and stories from the Leadville community members! Joining us today is Angela Naeth. In this episode, Angela shares her experience at the Leadville Trail 100 MTB and her plans for women cycling in the future. Now having experienced the race for herself, listen as Angela talks about Leadville's mental and physical challenge. Pushed to limits she had never been, Angela enjoyed seeing just how far she could go. She begins walking the listener through race morning. Having stayed just outside Leadville with friends, she was excited and ready to begin the day. Riding up to start, the cheering crowds, energy, PA system, and overall experience was an awesome way to begin. As the racers took off, Angela shares her experience, riding downhill on pavement, pushing together with fellow mountain bikers. After her first climb, listen as Angela recounts her crash on Powerline teaching her to no go past her limits. She recovered well and went on to a single track and a flat section before she arrived at the crew station. The atmosphere of the station and the break it afforded prior to Columbine was enjoyable. After grabbing more fuel, Angela began her climb of Columbine. Halfway up, she was impressed as some of the pro male riders were already descending. The technicality offered by Columbine's surprisingly steep ascent was challenging. Over the last three to four miles, occasional bailing was necessary due to the slippery terrain. Not considering herself a mountain biker, Angela realized that practice will be required for next year's race. She coached herself to keep moving and get to the top as the final two miles of ascent proved harder than expected. Once there, four gels from the aid station were appreciated. Listen as she then describes her exhilarating descent back down Columbine, calling it the most fun she had all day. Angela finished the race in 9:07 and wants to come back. Cole asks Angela helpful questions for all to hear. Take note as Angela highlights the parts of the course which she underestimated, her future nutrition plans, how she plans to prepare for next year, and how she, who lives at sea level, plans to better prepare for the high altitude of Leadville. Angela additionally discusses the benefits of racing with groups, such as her own Race Like a Girl and Gritty Like a Girl groups. For female athletes, Angela explains why this is a good crossover race, amazing challenge, and great opportunity for women. Thanks for tuning in!

Grit, Guts and Determination: The Leadville Race Series Podcast
Welcome to Grit, Guts, and Determination, The Leadville Race Series Podcast, a leading authority for all things Leadville! The show is hosted by Cole Chlouber, son of race founder Ken Chlouber, and it takes us on a story-telling journey of the rich, nearly forty-year history of this race. In each episode, we hear eccentric stories from Leadville community members, and along the way learn the tips and tricks to get to the line this summer! Today, Cole interviews highly decorated Canadian triathlete Angela Naeth about her racing career, efforts to give back, and current preparations to compete in the Leadville Trail 100 MTB! Angela first explains how both Leadville and athletics in general found her in a very natural way. She can't remember a time when she wasn't interested in athletics, and Leadville has been on her radar for the past decade, coming to the fore more recently as her passion for mountains and gravel biking has grown. Of course, biking has long been a component of her racing career; Angela has had an illustrious triathlon career culminating in three full Ironman wins. She shares how the Ironman competition caught her attention and drove her to explore triathlons, and how she has a particular love for endurance races. Being out on a race course, Angela says, is a way of refocusing and maintaining a sense of connection. Her most recent racing passion, cycling, won her heart by allowing her to adventure in nature and feel like a kid riding again. Angela is driven by love of her sports, and her motivation has pushed her through countless injuries and even the trial of a Lyme disease diagnosis (and to others with this diagnosis, she urges, take your meds, trust your gut, and find a Lyme-literate doctor!). Angela's love for her sports has also driven her to give back to the community of women in sports, and she shares about her coaching and podcast, as well as her efforts with triathlon-focused club I Race Like a Girl and gravel biking team Girls Get Gritty. In her own career right now, Angela is in the top half of the Life Time Grand Prix, and is building toward her first time on the LT100 MTB starting line! As the episode wraps up, she shares about her race day plan, from plans for a crew and her diet to her thoughts on drafting, pacing, and managing the stress of the race start. Thanks for tuning in!

Join us for a candid conversation with Ironman athlete, Angela Naeth. Angela contracted Lyme disease in 2018, the same year she completed the Ironman race in Kona, Hawaii. Born in Prince George BC, and now living in Massachusetts, Angela has had to continually adapt and evolve in order to optimize both her own health and her performance as an athlete. She describes the learning curve that many Lyme patients are faced with in trying to navigate this complicated disease. After seeing many doctors and finally receiving a Lyme diagnosis, she had to research various treatments and be her own advocate to receive treatment. One of the added challenges throughout this process was that she appeared healthy but felt extremely unwell.“I went to so many different doctors, and it was so difficult because I was the epitome of health on paper, but yet I was dying inside.” Angela Naeth, Professional Triathlete and CoachRead the full show notes
Angela Naeth is a professional triathlete who has been competing at a high level in IRONMAN races (she had an 8th place finish at Kona in 2018), all the while battling Lyme Disease. We talk to her about how she new she had contracted the tick-borne illness, how she's managed to keep competing, and what treatment looks like these days.

Endurance News: LONDON, ENGLAND: The Professional Triathletes Organisation today announced that Sam Long, Danielle Dingman, Magnus Ditlev and Renee Kiley have been selected as wildcards for the PTO 2020 Championship at CHALLENGEDAYTONA®. In Sam Long and Magus Ditlev we see the young guns of the sport, rightfully stepping up to a championship calibre competition. Both in their early 20’s, their recent performances have announced the arrival of what may be the new guard for the PTO and professional triathlon and the pair could well be battling it out for the next decade. In their first clash at the PTO 2020 Championship, we may witness a transcendental moment in sport that has not happened since Nadal and Federer first locked horns over 15 years ago and began a rivalry that brought tennis to new heights and still continues to this day. Danielle Dingman and Renee Kiley represent the unique time-honoured tradition of age-groupers progressing to the professional ranks. Both were on their way to breakout seasons and poised to move up the PTO World Rankings for 2020 when COVID-19 struck, eliminating all opportunities to advance up the rankings into automatic qualifying spots. Kiley’s performance at Cairns was at the level of an automatic qualifier, while Dingman’s victory at the PTO Supported Bear Lake triathlon, besting the PTO World No. 10, clearly indicated she was in good enough form to be awarded a wildcard spot. Sara Hall The Secrets to Peak Performance with Pro Runner Sara Hall What's New in the 303: Biggest news, not posted is Chris Leiferman is now as a wildcard, so we need to mention in addition to Sam Long Chilly Cheeks Duathlon has been approved Alamosa triathlon was kind of cool with the history of it with Amelia Earhart and finding the hot springs I think Courtney Dauwalter is Colorado, she would be a good guest https://www.endurancesportswire.com/tailwind-athlete-courtney-dauwalter-wins-u-s-bigs-backyard-ultra-running-283-miles-over-3-days/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Endurance+Sportswire+Thursday+edition&utm_campaign=ESW+Thursday+10%2F22%2F2020&vgo_ee=9EdCdjkmjBECapBAYVbpFXwFoqDlMHNmyq65fGLdufk%3D Season Wrap Up from Karen Hornbostel Series Posted on October 22, 2020 We could not have asked for better conditions then what we experienced this week. Little wind, nice temperatures and the ozone level was reasonable, considering all the fires in the area. For the men, we had a new course record of 19 minutes flat set by Serghei Tvetcov. Serghei is a professional cyclist, and currently rides for the UCI Continental team Team Sapura Cycling. He is the current time trial champion of Romania and this year he came in second overall in the Tour of Szeklerland and won the individual time trial stage. Second place for the men was Brennan Wertz, who came in two seconds behind Serghel with a time of 19:02. For the women, Betsy Mercer and Jennifer Sharp tied with a time of 23:45. Mia Aseltine the amazing and fastest junior was right behind with a time of 24:07. Ryan Muncy was out again this week and got several great photos! We are honored that again this year Ryan has been part of the KHMTT. He does beautiful work, and we encourage you to support his endeavors by purchasing a photo or two of yourself.

Levels Health 12 glucose lowering strategies to improve metabolic fitness: A review of 12 strategies that have been shown in research to improve glucose levels in the body. This article offers ideas to consider as you explore your personal data using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Metabolic fitness is our ability to keep average and fasting glucose levels in an optimal range, minimize post-meal glucose spikes, optimize insulin sensitivity, and to exhibit flexibility in utilizing different energy sources — including stored fat and glucose — for fuel. In order to improve our metabolic fitness, we have to first track our glucose levels, and then we have to know how to modify them. Fortunately, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) lets us track how specific foods and lifestyle behaviors are impacting glucose levels in real time, helping us expand our metabolic awareness. With our personal data in hand, we can then turn to the scientific literature to provide us guidance in reaching our goals. This article will explain 12 strategies that have been shown to positively impact glucose levels, and that members of the Levels team have utilized to improve our own metabolic fitness. Eat earlier in the day “Time restricted feeding” means consuming all your day’s worth of calories in a relatively short window, and abstaining from eating the rest of the time. One study in overweight, non-diabetic individuals showed that even engaging in time restricted feeding for just 4 days can lower fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and mean glucose levels significantly. Explore intermittent fasting Intermittent fasting means restricting food intake for longer periods of time, usually for 24 hours or more. A recent small case report in three individuals with type 2 diabetes showed that intermittent fasting could meaningfully reverse diabetes in as little as 7 months. These participants did 24 hour fasts, 3-4 times per week. Bottom line: 24 hour fasts can improve insulin sensitivity. For practical purposes, this means eating breakfast one morning, and then not eating calories again until the next morning. Say no to added sugar and refined foods This one is simple and highly effective: if you’re trying to optimize your glucose, then don’t eat food that was made in a factory, comes in a package of any kind, or doesn’t look at least somewhat like its original form in the wild. Top of the list to eliminate? Added sugars of any kind, refined grains (ie, anything made with refined flour), and refined fruits (ie, juice). Consider fiber a friend In insulin resistant individuals, high amounts of fiber are associated with lower post-meal glucose levels, insulin levels, and lower glycemic variability (glycemic variability refers to up-and-down swings in glucose). In a study of 18 individuals, those who ate ~51 grams of fiber per day had better glucose-related metrics than those who had an identical amount of calories per day, but only ~15 grams of fiber. The fiber sources in this study included legumes, 2 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruits per day, and whole grains. Other sources of fiber include seeds (flax, chia, others), all types of beans, and nuts. Use fat and protein to our advantage “Preloading” meals with fat or protein can minimize the quick absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. Similarly, eating fat alone in conjunction with a carbohydrate load will decrease the post-meal glucose spike. Research shows that eating 3 ounces of almonds with a meal of white bread leads to significantly lower post-meal glucose spikes than when white bread is eaten alone. Similar trends were seen when participants were served 1 and 2 ounces of almonds, but the biggest effects were seen with 3 ounces of almonds (~40g of fat). Bottom line: Eating carbohydrates alone is likely to spike glucose more than if the carbohydrates are eaten with fat and/or protein. We utilize vinegar to blunt spikes Vinegar is known to have a glucose lowering effect when taken before or with a meal. One study showed that when about 1 ounce of white vinegar is consumed with a carbohydrate rich meal, post-meal glucose spikes and insulin levels are significantly lower. In addition, vinegar increases satiety ratings of a meal! In this particular study, the carbohydrate used was white bread containing 50 grams of carbohydrates. Bottom line: Taking in a small amount of vinegar along with a carb-rich meal appears to generate a lower post-meal glucose spike. Exercise right Exercise of pretty much any form (including mild aerobic activity, moderate aerobic activity, high intensity interval training, and resistance training) improves metabolic fitness and glucose control. One study showed that a single session of exercise at even a mild intensity (50% or 65% VO2 max) has the ability to significantly increase insulin sensitivity the very next day. Bottom line: Exercise of any type helps with glucose control and metabolic fitness. Short, frequent bursts of exercise seem to be more effective than longer isolated chunks of exercise. Try to be active all throughout the day! Prioritize sleep Sleep is absolutely critical to glucose regulation and metabolic fitness. Restricting sleep to 4 hours per night for just 5 days has been shown to significantly decrease glycemic control and metabolic fitness. In one study, this amount of sleep deprivation led to a higher glucose response to specific foods, and a 40% lower rate of glucose clearance from the blood during a glucose tolerance test, as compared with participants who are able to get 12 hours of sleep per night. Bottom line: We need good sleep (7-9 hours per night for most adults) to have proper glucose regulation. No matter how good a diet is, sleep still plays a key role in metabolic function. Prioritize stress management Stress raises glucose levels, and if we want optimal metabolic fitness, we have to take ownership over managing the stress in our lives. Studies have shown that there is a significant correlation between perceived work-related stress and increased levels of circulating glucose. Bottom line: Stress of any kind can negatively impact glucose levels. Self-care in many forms, including meditation and deep breathing, can promote improved glycemic control and metabolic fitness. Limit saturated fat Ingestion of large amounts of saturated fat has been shown to acutely decrease whole body insulin sensitivity by about 25%. Saturated fats include fatty cuts of beef, pork, lamb, dark chicken meat, poultry skin, dairy foods (milk, butter, cheese), tropical oils like coconut and palm, and margarine. To optimize insulin sensitivity, emphasizing unsaturated fats like nuts, seeds, olives and olive oil, avocado, fish, soybeans, and tofu appears to be a better bet. Bottom line: We try not to overdo it on saturated fat, as it seems to be associated with lower insulin sensitivity. Favoring unsaturated fats is likely better for metabolic function. Don’t chug water with meals Interestingly, multiple studies have shown that drinking a large amount of water with a meal will cause an increase in the peak of glucose and insulin after a meal, likely because the fluid load speeds entry of food into the small intestines for rapid glucose absorption. With that said, good hydration overall is an important part of metabolic health, so we never skimp on water, we just try to be smart about when we drink it in relation to our meals. Bottom line: We try spacing out large amounts of liquids an hour or two from meals. Sprinkle the cinnamon Compounds in cinnamon have been found to improve insulin signaling and glycemic control through a number of potential mechanisms. This is true even in individuals who are non-diabetics: A study of 41 healthy adults assessed whether glucose levels were improved with taking 1 gram, 3 grams, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day for 40 days. The participants were instructed to mix their daily dose of cinnamon powder with apple and milk and consume it. At the end of the 40 day study, those individuals taking any of the doses of cinnamon (1, 3, or 6 grams) all had a statistically significant drop in the post-meal glucose levels after a standardized meal. This effect was largest for the group taking 6 grams cinnamon, who’s post-meal glucose levels dropped from a mean of 105 mg/dL to 92 mg/dL. Additionally, those individuals taking 6 grams of cinnamon had reduced pre-meal glucose levels, indicating that their baseline glucose during the day was lower. Bottom line: Based on the research, cinnamon may be a helpful adjunct in the quest towards improved metabolic fitness.

He is the current world record holder for the 70.3 distance, setting a time of 3:29:04 in 2018 and both repeating the feat and bettering his own mark in 2019 with a time of 3:25:21. This was the third victory for him in as many years at the Ironman 70.3 Middle East Championships held in Bahrain. Despite competing in the ITU World Triathlon Series for a number of years, his highest finish was second place until the 31st August 2019 when he took the gold at the Grand Final in Lausanne. Notably, he was part of a 1-2-3 Norwegian finish at WTS Bermuda in 2018, finishing second to his compatriot Casper Stornes and ahead of their third team mate Gustav Iden. This was the first time this feat had been achieved in the ITU. Blummenfelt trains up to eight hours a day, swimming up to 45 km, cycling about 400 km and running up to 120 km per week. 5'8" and 77 kgs / 169 lbs Sporting hero was Dale Oen was a Norwegian swimmer.

Endurance News: LONDON, ENGLAND: The Professional Triathletes Organisation today announced that Sam Long, Danielle Dingman, Magnus Ditlev and Renee Kiley have been selected as wildcards for the PTO 2020 Championship at CHALLENGEDAYTONA®. In Sam Long and Magus Ditlev we see the young guns of the sport, rightfully stepping up to a championship calibre competition. Both in their early 20’s, their recent performances have announced the arrival of what may be the new guard for the PTO and professional triathlon and the pair could well be battling it out for the next decade. In their first clash at the PTO 2020 Championship, we may witness a transcendental moment in sport that has not happened since Nadal and Federer first locked horns over 15 years ago and began a rivalry that brought tennis to new heights and still continues to this day. Danielle Dingman and Renee Kiley represent the unique time-honoured tradition of age-groupers progressing to the professional ranks. Both were on their way to breakout seasons and poised to move up the PTO World Rankings for 2020 when COVID-19 struck, eliminating all opportunities to advance up the rankings into automatic qualifying spots. Kiley’s performance at Cairns was at the level of an automatic qualifier, while Dingman’s victory at the PTO Supported Bear Lake triathlon, besting the PTO World No. 10, clearly indicated she was in good enough form to be awarded a wildcard spot. Sara Hall The Secrets to Peak Performance with Pro Runner Sara Hall What's New in the 303: Biggest news, not posted is Chris Leiferman is now as a wildcard, so we need to mention in addition to Sam Long Chilly Cheeks Duathlon has been approved Alamosa triathlon was kind of cool with the history of it with Amelia Earhart and finding the hot springs I think Courtney Dauwalter is Colorado, she would be a good guest https://www.endurancesportswire.com/tailwind-athlete-courtney-dauwalter-wins-u-s-bigs-backyard-ultra-running-283-miles-over-3-days/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Endurance+Sportswire+Thursday+edition&utm_campaign=ESW+Thursday+10%2F22%2F2020&vgo_ee=9EdCdjkmjBECapBAYVbpFXwFoqDlMHNmyq65fGLdufk%3D Season Wrap Up from Karen Hornbostel Series Posted on October 22, 2020 We could not have asked for better conditions then what we experienced this week. Little wind, nice temperatures and the ozone level was reasonable, considering all the fires in the area. For the men, we had a new course record of 19 minutes flat set by Serghei Tvetcov. Serghei is a professional cyclist, and currently rides for the UCI Continental team Team Sapura Cycling. He is the current time trial champion of Romania and this year he came in second overall in the Tour of Szeklerland and won the individual time trial stage. Second place for the men was Brennan Wertz, who came in two seconds behind Serghel with a time of 19:02. For the women, Betsy Mercer and Jennifer Sharp tied with a time of 23:45. Mia Aseltine the amazing and fastest junior was right behind with a time of 24:07. Ryan Muncy was out again this week and got several great photos! We are honored that again this year Ryan has been part of the KHMTT. He does beautiful work, and we encourage you to support his endeavors by purchasing a photo or two of yourself.

Levels Health 12 glucose lowering strategies to improve metabolic fitness: A review of 12 strategies that have been shown in research to improve glucose levels in the body. This article offers ideas to consider as you explore your personal data using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Metabolic fitness is our ability to keep average and fasting glucose levels in an optimal range, minimize post-meal glucose spikes, optimize insulin sensitivity, and to exhibit flexibility in utilizing different energy sources — including stored fat and glucose — for fuel. In order to improve our metabolic fitness, we have to first track our glucose levels, and then we have to know how to modify them. Fortunately, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) lets us track how specific foods and lifestyle behaviors are impacting glucose levels in real time, helping us expand our metabolic awareness. With our personal data in hand, we can then turn to the scientific literature to provide us guidance in reaching our goals. This article will explain 12 strategies that have been shown to positively impact glucose levels, and that members of the Levels team have utilized to improve our own metabolic fitness. Eat earlier in the day “Time restricted feeding” means consuming all your day’s worth of calories in a relatively short window, and abstaining from eating the rest of the time. One study in overweight, non-diabetic individuals showed that even engaging in time restricted feeding for just 4 days can lower fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and mean glucose levels significantly. Explore intermittent fasting Intermittent fasting means restricting food intake for longer periods of time, usually for 24 hours or more. A recent small case report in three individuals with type 2 diabetes showed that intermittent fasting could meaningfully reverse diabetes in as little as 7 months. These participants did 24 hour fasts, 3-4 times per week. Bottom line: 24 hour fasts can improve insulin sensitivity. For practical purposes, this means eating breakfast one morning, and then not eating calories again until the next morning. Say no to added sugar and refined foods This one is simple and highly effective: if you’re trying to optimize your glucose, then don’t eat food that was made in a factory, comes in a package of any kind, or doesn’t look at least somewhat like its original form in the wild. Top of the list to eliminate? Added sugars of any kind, refined grains (ie, anything made with refined flour), and refined fruits (ie, juice). Consider fiber a friend In insulin resistant individuals, high amounts of fiber are associated with lower post-meal glucose levels, insulin levels, and lower glycemic variability (glycemic variability refers to up-and-down swings in glucose). In a study of 18 individuals, those who ate ~51 grams of fiber per day had better glucose-related metrics than those who had an identical amount of calories per day, but only ~15 grams of fiber. The fiber sources in this study included legumes, 2 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruits per day, and whole grains. Other sources of fiber include seeds (flax, chia, others), all types of beans, and nuts. Use fat and protein to our advantage “Preloading” meals with fat or protein can minimize the quick absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. Similarly, eating fat alone in conjunction with a carbohydrate load will decrease the post-meal glucose spike. Research shows that eating 3 ounces of almonds with a meal of white bread leads to significantly lower post-meal glucose spikes than when white bread is eaten alone. Similar trends were seen when participants were served 1 and 2 ounces of almonds, but the biggest effects were seen with 3 ounces of almonds (~40g of fat). Bottom line: Eating carbohydrates alone is likely to spike glucose more than if the carbohydrates are eaten with fat and/or protein. We utilize vinegar to blunt spikes Vinegar is known to have a glucose lowering effect when taken before or with a meal. One study showed that when about 1 ounce of white vinegar is consumed with a carbohydrate rich meal, post-meal glucose spikes and insulin levels are significantly lower. In addition, vinegar increases satiety ratings of a meal! In this particular study, the carbohydrate used was white bread containing 50 grams of carbohydrates. Bottom line: Taking in a small amount of vinegar along with a carb-rich meal appears to generate a lower post-meal glucose spike. Exercise right Exercise of pretty much any form (including mild aerobic activity, moderate aerobic activity, high intensity interval training, and resistance training) improves metabolic fitness and glucose control. One study showed that a single session of exercise at even a mild intensity (50% or 65% VO2 max) has the ability to significantly increase insulin sensitivity the very next day. Bottom line: Exercise of any type helps with glucose control and metabolic fitness. Short, frequent bursts of exercise seem to be more effective than longer isolated chunks of exercise. Try to be active all throughout the day! Prioritize sleep Sleep is absolutely critical to glucose regulation and metabolic fitness. Restricting sleep to 4 hours per night for just 5 days has been shown to significantly decrease glycemic control and metabolic fitness. In one study, this amount of sleep deprivation led to a higher glucose response to specific foods, and a 40% lower rate of glucose clearance from the blood during a glucose tolerance test, as compared with participants who are able to get 12 hours of sleep per night. Bottom line: We need good sleep (7-9 hours per night for most adults) to have proper glucose regulation. No matter how good a diet is, sleep still plays a key role in metabolic function. Prioritize stress management Stress raises glucose levels, and if we want optimal metabolic fitness, we have to take ownership over managing the stress in our lives. Studies have shown that there is a significant correlation between perceived work-related stress and increased levels of circulating glucose. Bottom line: Stress of any kind can negatively impact glucose levels. Self-care in many forms, including meditation and deep breathing, can promote improved glycemic control and metabolic fitness. Limit saturated fat Ingestion of large amounts of saturated fat has been shown to acutely decrease whole body insulin sensitivity by about 25%. Saturated fats include fatty cuts of beef, pork, lamb, dark chicken meat, poultry skin, dairy foods (milk, butter, cheese), tropical oils like coconut and palm, and margarine. To optimize insulin sensitivity, emphasizing unsaturated fats like nuts, seeds, olives and olive oil, avocado, fish, soybeans, and tofu appears to be a better bet. Bottom line: We try not to overdo it on saturated fat, as it seems to be associated with lower insulin sensitivity. Favoring unsaturated fats is likely better for metabolic function. Don’t chug water with meals Interestingly, multiple studies have shown that drinking a large amount of water with a meal will cause an increase in the peak of glucose and insulin after a meal, likely because the fluid load speeds entry of food into the small intestines for rapid glucose absorption. With that said, good hydration overall is an important part of metabolic health, so we never skimp on water, we just try to be smart about when we drink it in relation to our meals. Bottom line: We try spacing out large amounts of liquids an hour or two from meals. Sprinkle the cinnamon Compounds in cinnamon have been found to improve insulin signaling and glycemic control through a number of potential mechanisms. This is true even in individuals who are non-diabetics: A study of 41 healthy adults assessed whether glucose levels were improved with taking 1 gram, 3 grams, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day for 40 days. The participants were instructed to mix their daily dose of cinnamon powder with apple and milk and consume it. At the end of the 40 day study, those individuals taking any of the doses of cinnamon (1, 3, or 6 grams) all had a statistically significant drop in the post-meal glucose levels after a standardized meal. This effect was largest for the group taking 6 grams cinnamon, who’s post-meal glucose levels dropped from a mean of 105 mg/dL to 92 mg/dL. Additionally, those individuals taking 6 grams of cinnamon had reduced pre-meal glucose levels, indicating that their baseline glucose during the day was lower. Bottom line: Based on the research, cinnamon may be a helpful adjunct in the quest towards improved metabolic fitness. Given that high post-meal glucose spikes are associated with worse health outcomes, cinnamon may be an effective way to blunt these surges.

Cycling: Giro d'Italia on brink of cancellation amid COVID-19 cases (Reuters) - The Giro d’Italia was on the brink of cancellation on Tuesday after five teams were hit by COVID-19 cases on the first rest day, with two of them pulling out of the three-week grand tour 12 days before the finish in Milan. The Mitchelton-Scott team withdrew after four staff members tested positive for the coronavirus following top rider Simon Yates pulling out last week. Jumbo-Visma, whose leader Steven Kruisjwijk tested positive, said they would not start the 10th stage on Tuesday. A Team Sunweb rider, one staff member from Ineos-Grenadiers and AG2R-La Mondiale also returned positive tests, organisers RCS said. RCS, in a joint statement with the International Cycling Union (UCI), said the teams’ doctors had ordered “isolation measures”. Sunweb’s Michael Matthews had tested positive and sports director Luke Roberts said the Australian was asymptomatic. ‘If This Works It’s Going To Change Everything’: Cycling’s BMC And F1’s Red Bull Advanced Technologies Hint At Cycling Revolution Red Bull Advanced Technologies’ Vehicle Science team has been helping BMC technicians with simulations of bike behavior based on data from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. The companies are enlisted Cancellara—an Olympic and World Champion—to validate and evaluate some of the first hardware developments produced by the partnership. What's New in the 303: High School Cycling League and the Colorado Classic Partner to Inspire Student Athletes The Colorado Classic applauds all of these student athletes and is honored to award our Best Young Rider to two Exceptional Student Athletes. These are exemplary student-athletes whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others. They demonstrate outstanding leadership, sportsmanship, academic performance and volunteerism in their team, school, and community. Nominated by the Colorado League community members, the winners will receive a 2019 Colorado Classic Young Rider Jersey signed by the world famous track and time trial superstar, Chloe Dygert. “The Colorado Classic is a trailblazer in it’s high profile support of female professional athletes. All youth are inspired by the visibility of exceptional female role models. Thank you for acknowledging 2020 exceptional student athletes,” said Kate Rau, Executive Director of the Colorado High School Cycling League. The winners will be announced on November 1 on social media. Those not part of the League, are encouraged to vie for a Chloe Dygert – signed jersey in the QOM Jersey competition. Taking place between October 15th and October 21st, participants are asked to join the Colorado Classic Strava Group, hop on their bikes and get climbing! The first cyclist to ride 13,668 feet in elevation (the total amount of feet climbed during the 2019 event) during that week-long climbing window wins. A second signed jersey will be awarded to the cyclist who records the most elevation gain during the Climbing Window. The #InspiredWeRide Jersey Campaign is the latest initiative in a series of ways the organizers behind the Colorado Classic have kept the cycling world engaged during this unusual and trying year; while furthering their mission be more than a race, and act as a movement to inspire and empower women of all ages to break the mold, and fight for their goals. Levels Health Tests and Results: For a given carbohydrate (eg, a banana), what is my blood glucose at different times of the day? Same carbohydrate paired with protein/fat different times of the day Same carbohydrate with no post exercise Same carbohydrate followed by aerobic exercise Pre/during/post aerobic exercise fasted Pre/during/post aerobic exercise fueled (Skratch vs. UCAN) Sunday 2 Hour Brick (90 minute ride/30-40 minute run) Before the test I had a cup of coffee and a high protein and fat breakfast of bacon, eggs and sourdough toast. I had a swig of UCAN Lemon, and a bottle of UCAN Lemon and another of UCAN Hydrate. The brick workout was a 90 minute ride followed by a 30-40 minute run. The protocol was to take a BGL measurement and fuel with UCAN every 15 minutes. The following were tests just prior to starting the ride and every 15 minutes, and a final post ride measurement. The lack of an initial spike in BG illustrates that my muscles are getting adequate glycogen from muscle stores or UCAN, or both. Starting with a high protein breakfast may have had an influence by starting me out with a steady BGL. On the ride, the effort was variable as measured by heart rate and perceived exertion. I was fueling consistently every 15 minutes with UCAN bar and energy drink. Just prior to the 60 minute measurement, a had an encounter with rider who honked off at me for riding their wheel. It actually got me a little honked off and got my adrenaline going (see 10:36 measurement; 101 and rising). It continued to rise to 122 fifteen minutes later. This increase could have been from one or more of the following. A) an increase in effort sending a demand for more glycogen; B) an increase in carbohydrate from UCAN; C) adrenalin rush from the encounter with the rude rider. 15 minutes into the run there was a 12 point drop, which would suggest a sufficient supply of fuel for the muscles and insulin was packing glycogen into the muscles. Fifteen minutes later the BG increased back to 95 suggesting a surge into the blood stream either from UCAN or the liver. The post run measurement was 97. I had a UCAN protein shake with milk after the run and then took a measurement at lunch. There was a big post run spike which I can only attribute to the UCAN protein shake. Why does exercise sometimes raise blood sugar? Exercise can trigger the body to release stress hormones, like adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline can stimulate the liver and the adrenal glands to release glucose and cortisol which makes you more resistant to insulin.

Sunweb’s Michael Matthews had tested positive and sports director Luke Roberts said the Australian was asymptomatic. ‘If This Works It’s Going To Change Everything’: Cycling’s BMC And F1’s Red Bull Advanced Technologies Hint At Cycling Revolution Red Bull Advanced Technologies’ Vehicle Science team has been helping BMC technicians with simulations of bike behavior based on data from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. The companies are enlisted Cancellara—an Olympic and World Champion—to validate and evaluate some of the first hardware developments produced by the partnership. What's New in the 303: High School Cycling League and the Colorado Classic Partner to Inspire Student Athletes The Colorado Classic applauds all of these student athletes and is honored to award our Best Young Rider to two Exceptional Student Athletes. These are exemplary student-athletes whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others. They demonstrate outstanding leadership, sportsmanship, academic performance and volunteerism in their team, school, and community. Nominated by the Colorado League community members, the winners will receive a 2019 Colorado Classic Young Rider Jersey signed by the world famous track and time trial superstar, Chloe Dygert. “The Colorado Classic is a trailblazer in it’s high profile support of female professional athletes. All youth are inspired by the visibility of exceptional female role models. Thank you for acknowledging 2020 exceptional student athletes,” said Kate Rau, Executive Director of the Colorado High School Cycling League. The winners will be announced on November 1 on social media. Those not part of the League, are encouraged to vie for a Chloe Dygert – signed jersey in the QOM Jersey competition. Taking place between October 15th and October 21st, participants are asked to join the Colorado Classic Strava Group, hop on their bikes and get climbing! The first cyclist to ride 13,668 feet in elevation (the total amount of feet climbed during the 2019 event) during that week-long climbing window wins. A second signed jersey will be awarded to the cyclist who records the most elevation gain during the Climbing Window. The #InspiredWeRide Jersey Campaign is the latest initiative in a series of ways the organizers behind the Colorado Classic have kept the cycling world engaged during this unusual and trying year; while furthering their mission be more than a race, and act as a movement to inspire and empower women of all ages to break the mold, and fight for their goals. Levels Health Tests and Results: For a given carbohydrate (eg, a banana), what is my blood glucose at different times of the day? Same carbohydrate paired with protein/fat different times of the day Same carbohydrate with no post exercise Same carbohydrate followed by aerobic exercise Pre/during/post aerobic exercise fasted Pre/during/post aerobic exercise fueled (Skratch vs. UCAN) Sunday 2 Hour Brick (90 minute ride/30-40 minute run) Before the test I had a cup of coffee and a high protein and fat breakfast of bacon, eggs and sourdough toast. I had a swig of UCAN Lemon, and a bottle of UCAN Lemon and another of UCAN Hydrate. The brick workout was a 90 minute ride followed by a 30-40 minute run. The protocol was to take a BGL measurement and fuel with UCAN every 15 minutes. The following were tests just prior to starting the ride and every 15 minutes, and a final post ride measurement. The lack of an initial spike in BG illustrates that my muscles are getting adequate glycogen from muscle stores or UCAN, or both. Starting with a high protein breakfast may have had an influence by starting me out with a steady BGL. On the ride, the effort was variable as measured by heart rate and perceived exertion. I was fueling consistently every 15 minutes with UCAN bar and energy drink. Just prior to the 60 minute measurement, a had an encounter with rider who honked off at me for riding their wheel. It actually got me a little honked off and got my adrenaline going (see 10:36 measurement; 101 and rising). It continued to rise to 122 fifteen minutes later. This increase could have been from one or more of the following. A) an increase in effort sending a demand for more glycogen; B) an increase in carbohydrate from UCAN; C) adrenalin rush from the encounter with the rude rider. 15 minutes into the run there was a 12 point drop, which would suggest a sufficient supply of fuel for the muscles and insulin was packing glycogen into the muscles. Fifteen minutes later the BG increased back to 95 suggesting a surge into the blood stream either from UCAN or the liver. The post run measurement was 97. I had a UCAN protein shake with milk after the run and then took a measurement at lunch. There was a big post run spike which I can only attribute to the UCAN protein shake. Why does exercise sometimes raise blood sugar? Exercise can trigger the body to release stress hormones, like adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline can stimulate the liver and the adrenal glands to release glucose and cortisol which makes you more resistant to insulin. Video of the Week: The race is Long: Behind the scenes at Bear Lake Brawl Credit to Kenny Withrow Upcoming Interviews: Kristian Blummenfelt is a Norwegian triathlete and Olympian, competing at both short course (sprint and standard distance). In 2018 he set the world record for the 70.3 distance, setting a time of 3:29:04 in 2018 and both repeating the feat and bettering his own mark in 2019 with a time of 3:25:21.

In 2017, Angela Naeth contracted Lyme disease. After winning countless 70.3 and full Ironman races, she struggled to walk and suffered from mysterious debilitating pain. But in 2018, she came back to get 8th at Kona. Now she's going through intense treatment during this off year. She tells us about what it's been like, how she decided to become a pro triathlete at the age of 27, and why she wants to keep racing forever. She also talks about all the different projects she's been involved in—and how her age group team brings her joy and camaraderie. For more info on Lyme disease, which we talk about extensively: CDC's symptoms of untreated Lyme: https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs_symptoms/index.html LymeDisease.org: https://www.lymedisease.org/ And first we chat with our senior editor, Chris Foster, who headed to the first big pro race in the US this weekend. He tells us why small grassroots races are attracting huge and competitive pro fields, and how this might be the future of the sport.

Will CBD Show up in a Drug Test? Will you get high? Does it matter what type of CBD you use? What are effective doses and methods of consumption? And how does this benefit athletic performance? These are some of the themes we explore in today's Podcast on CBD for Endurance Athletes! Today joining us is Jay OHare to talk the how athletes can use CBD to improve their overall quality of life as well as performance. Now Jay is one of the founders of Venga CBD which is an American-based CBD company who puts an emphasis CBD being super beneficial particularly for endurance athletes. Jay has recognized that CBD can benefit endurance athletes in six integral ways: It will assist recovery, improve mental resilience, help with pain management, reduce inflammation, improve your sleep, and help you through an injury. So this is an exciting episode to chat about because we’ve all heard the craze on CBD but many might be new to the concept of it being beneficial to our sport. You may have recognized some pro triathletes on the circuit recently having announce partnerships with CBD companies like Angela Naeth and Matt Hanson. I think we will see more and more of this in the years to come and you might already be questioning how is this allowed if THC consumption is prohibited in triathlon? Well Jay is here to break all of that down for us by answering many frequently asked questions, as well as explain how it works in our body, how to get started with CBD, how to incorporate it into your daily regiment, how it will improve your overall performance, and he’s got all the research to back it up!
Welcome to gravel! Angela Naeth's story is one of tenacity and fulfillment. With high highs and difficult lows, she shares her fascinating trajectory through the sport of triathlon which coincidentally has her lining up for the SugarCane 200 in January 2020. With health now on her side, Angela is at a point where she's writing the script to her story rather than having it written for her. 2020 is wide open for possibility and that allows more gravel in her travel. Despite the global pandemic that we find ourselves in, despite not knowing about this pandemic when this conversation was recorded, Angela's positivity is almost tangible. Find more about Angela at AngelaNaeth.comRead about IRaceLikeAGirl at iracelikeagirl.comAnd follow along #DIYgravel at iamtedking.com/diygravel
This week’s conversation is with Angela Naeth, currently ranked among the top triathletes in the world with 3 sub 9-hour Ironman performances.Angela is a multiple 70.3 and Ironman Champion and has 30+ podiums at the 70.3 and Ironman distances.If you're not familiar with the 70.3, that's the total distance in miles for what's considered a half-ironman. A full ironman triathlon is 140+ miles (consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a 26.22-mile marathon run, raced in that order).In 2018, Angela, while battling Lyme disease, placed 8th at the Ironman World Championships with a time of 8:57, which is just remarkable.So why compete with Lyme disease – why put her body through something that intense?For Angela, it’s about using sport as a means to help her better understand herself and discover what she’s capable of, what she’s made of.It’s about doing it for her own satisfaction rather than trying to appease others, which is something she’s had to work on.And that’s really what this conversation is all about: discovery and acceptance. Self-discovery involves testing yourself; that feedback, that information, is part of the process for figuring out who you are.Self-acceptance involves taking that information and embracing the true nature of it; it’s about getting comfortable in your own skin.They go hand in hand and Angela has a very eloquent way of describing her process for it— I hope you find ways to apply those lessons. ------Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

He rode his bike without a computer. And he rode a new bike, not having had a professional fit and only having ridden it about 500 miles. He had the bike shipped from Nice directly to Chattanooga, only having put a few miles on it the week of the race yesterday. And he also discovered something about his bike that explained his slower than expected time in Nice….

The IRONMAN World Championship is really the cherry on top for me this year and I am considering it more of a "victory lap". I qualified for Kona at IM Boulder this year and then the following week proceeded to start the Leadman race series (5 trail events over 3 months ending with the 100 mile run in Leadville, Colorado back in August). Been a long and busy year so I am excited to just be there in Kona with family and friends supporting. What is your favorite career IRONMAN memory so far Drinking beers on State Street with family/friends the night before qualifying at Wisconsin back in 2013. That and running down Ali'I Drive. So much emotion and feelings in those last couple hundred yards. Is this your first time competing in Kona and if no how many other times have you done so? No. This will be my 2nd time back in Kona, hoping for some redemption this time around. If someone were watching that is new to the sport, what would you tell them is the coolest thing about being a triathlete and competing in this venue. I think there is something to be said about sharing this course (and the day) with the world's best athletes. Coolest thing about this venue...everything you see on TV, the magic and mystique of the island is so true. What do you think is the hardest thing about doing an IRONMAN? Like training for any endurance sport/event, knowing when to hold back to stave off injury and/or burnout. The hardest thing about actually executing the IRONMAN race is pulling everything together (pacing, nutrition, race strategy, etc.). For me, It's HOW you manage those variables and unknowns that are thrown at you on race day that separate you from having a great race to an okay race. Niki Leo What are you most excited about in competing in Kona? I am most excited to experience the legend course, to personally feel the heat, humidity, and winds that are so infamous. I am also excited to see in person, at one time, many of my heroes in the sport. Triathlon is genuinely one of the only sports in the world where you get to compete on the same field of play as the professionals...and do that with all of them is going to be amazing. I am truly excited about just being able to have this opportunity. What is your favorite career Ironman so far? That is a hard one...Louisville 2018 where I qualified will probably always be special because I realized a dream come true. However, my first Ironman--Arizona in 2011--will probably always be my favorite because my love for the sport was all so pure then-- a lesson in ignorance is bliss. The celebratory feeling that I could actually do something like a full Ironman...there is always that doubt...and then you cross that finish line and you cannot believe it...the feeling is so indescribable unless you've done it. It is also the only time I ever felt that way...after finishing the first, knowing you could do it, the others after that were amazing but I knew I could finish because I had before. Is this your first time competing in Kona? Yes. I have always wanted to qualify and came close a couple of times however, in 2018 after my first DNF (ever) in Ironman Boulder--which was supposed to be my 11th IM--I did IM Canada (which turned out to be #11). Destroyed about the DNF at Boulder, I registered for Louisville (12) to get onto the Legacy list. Well...I finished second (missing first by 6 seconds) and qualified! If someone were new to the sport, what would I tell them is the best thing about being a triathlete and competing at this venue? For sure, triathlon has saved me in so many ways...it has given me something to live for and something to always work towards. It has given me the feeling few will ever experience in their lifetime--that feeling of wanting so badly to stop and yet, feeling the most alive I ever feel. It has given me direction when I have been lost--depression, eating disorders, cancer. It has given me determination and grit to endure--pain, injuries (which all have come as result of getting hit by cars...multiple times). It has given me a family and friends that I would not otherwise have in CO since I moved here not knowing anyone. It has given me perspective that I'm human--changing and adapting everyday is required to lead a balanced life. The venue itself will cause you to doubt yourself, to face failure, to determine what your priorities in life are, and it will make you feel more alive than anything else in this world if you dare take yourself there. What do I think is the hardest part of Ironman? The time it takes. The energy it takes at times. The fear you have to overcome to test yourself. And to do it for YOU. That first one is always about YOU...then you "drink the kool aid" and for some reason, it changes. I have a love/hate relationship with Ironman because of this. I think the family and culture it creates can be amazing but I have also seen it destroy people. It can be so intimidating so I think the hardest thing is not to lose yourself and don't lose sight of what Ironman is in your life...that is, it is a hobby/sport you enjoy and unless you are a pro, it does not define you. Endurance News: PTO buying Ironman from Wanda Follow up discussion on the Professional Triathlon Organisation (PTO) have announced that they have approached WANDA with the intent to acquire Ironman and its assets. We spoke to Sam Renouf, CEO of the PTO, to find out more about the decision and what it means for triathlon.

Your co-hosts Jenna-Caer Seefried and Steven Langenhuizen bring you our new segment within the Pacing and Racing Podcast where we do post-race coverage and pre-race analysis with the insight and perspectives from the professional triathletes. Now in today’s episode of the Triathlon Sideline Chat we get to speak with Angela Naeth! Angela has had three sub-9-hour ironman performances; One of which placed her 1st in the North American Ironman championships. The second sub 9 was from her incredible speed on one of the most challenging courses; which earned her 8th place in the ironman world championships in KONA with a time of 8 hours 57 minutes! Now, what makes Angela so unique and special and I’m so excited to have her on, is that now only is she is a world-ranking professional triathlete, but she’s also a Red bull Athlete, a Lyme-disease advocate, and the founder of IRACELIKEAGIRL brand. I might also add she was on the cover of Triathlon Magazine in and won both Triathlon Magazine Canada Elite Triathlete of the year and Triathlon Canada Multisport Athlete of the year in 2018! Angela just finished racing Chattanooga 70.3 so we’ll get to hear all about her thoughts going into that race as well as how she felt during and after! We also get to do a recap on some of the other big races that were on that same weekend including the Barcelona 70.3, the Yokohama World Triathlon Series Race, and Challenge Lisboa! Now in last weeks episode, we had Linsey Corbin join us in on our race predictions so you’ll be able to hear the results of those in today’s episode! Now to finish off today’s podcast, Jenna and I pick our race predictions as we lead into another competitive race weekend ahead including the 70.3 Austria, IRONMAN Brazil, and IRONMAN Lanzarote!
Angela is a Canadian triathlete and Red Bull athlete. She's won the North American Ironman championships, and completed the event in under 9 hours three times--including her improbable 8th place finish in the 2018 Kona World Championships after a year-long battle with Lyme disease. Angela caught up with Payson at Red Bull headquarters over the winter where they were participating in a training camp together. They talk about some of the highlights from the camp that pushed the boundaries of sports science, how Angela developed such an incredible capacity for suffering, her trajectory as a pro which included a stint living in a tent, her amazing comeback from Lyme disease and why giving up wasn't an option, her non-profit "I Race Like a Girl", and more.
Welcome Welcome to Episode #173 of the Mile High Endurance podcast. Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals. We're your hosts coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Bill Plock. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion. Endure: to suffer something difficult or unpleasant in a patient way over a long period. Today we have an incredible interview with author Alex Hutchinson and we are exploring his NY Times bestseller "Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Potential". We've been teasing content from the book for weeks and this week you get to hear directly from Alex as he pulls threads through hundreds of interviews and research studies on various aspects of endurance. We hope you enjoyed last week's interview with professional triathlete, Sam Long. We recorded the show prior to Oceanside 70.3 and eagerly anticipated his result. If you followed it you already know that he DNFd. I saw his Instragram live after the race. From what he described, it sounded like he was pretty close to the front of the pack through the bike leg. He described getting a bum steer from a volunteer and lost a little more than 5 minutes. He tried to stay positive and focused on the run, but couldn't shake the mistake and the loss of time and ultimately decided to pull out. We will have to wait until St. George 70.3 to see how Sam fairs. Announcements: As you listen to today's show, you'll hear about a lot of article and content with links to sources. It's easy.

Alex Hutchinson Interview Discussion If you live in the Denver/Boulder area, you are in for a encore. Alex Hutchinson will be in Denver on May 1st presenting to the Rocky Mountain Tri Club at West High School. I am going to have my copy of the book autographed. Hope to see you there. It's no wonder that teams like Zoot are choosing to have their athletes read this book as a part of their virtual book club, or that Triathlon Club's like RMTC are booking events with Alex Hutchinson. This book has the most dense collection of studies related to endurance that I've been able to find. Among the things that I learned was that according to Alex, Halo has in the pipeline a shoulder electrode to make their device even more effective. I'm looking into that and will let you know what we learn. One of the studies that I found most interesting and intriguing was the Red Bull Endurance Project. It had participants including Jesse Thomas, Rebecca Rusch, and Angela Naeth absolutely gutting themselves in these tests. Check it out.

Angela, who has a Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences and a Masters degree in Physical Therapy, worked as a pediatric and orthopedic physiotherapist for three years before she competed in her first triathlon and quickly made the jump to full-time racing.
In today's episode, We are joined by Angela Naeth who is a professional triathlete. If you are someone who enjoys thinking and reflecting on your sport, your life and things around that, I think you will really enjoy this episode. Angela is a very genuine person and she is someone who has done a lot of thinking and reflecting on her own over the past eight years that she has been racing triathlon. We talked about some ways that she has overcome anxiety around racing and performing, something that she dealt with in the early days of her triathlon career. She also mentions a book that she has read five or six times that she has been able to use and get a lot from when it comes to becoming a fearless and competitive racer.
On June 10th of this year, Angela Naeth lined herself up next to the best in the field at Ironman Boulder. Having only run three miles at a sub-par pace prior to this race is something that may have thrown the average competitor into a stew of self-doubt but not Angela, she was feeling blessed just to be able to move. Nine weeks prior she couldn't walk up the stairs and nine months ago she lay awake at night on account of a sudden onset of extreme burning in her legs. Besides the burning sensation, Angela felt a weakness that informed her on a deep level that something was seriously out of balance in her body. Over the course of six months, Angela searched for the answers and found relief this past spring in a diagnosis of Lyme Disease. In talking with her doctor and staying calm through her mindful practices Angela developed hope for her recovery. She has already come a long way since receiving the news that the dis-ease in her body was not all in her head as some had speculated but actually multiple infections associated with contracting Lyme. Angela has always been a lover of nature and in recent years a student of Shamanism, which is a practice steeped in our connection to nature. She has learned to relax her mind so that she now sees things differently in her life. Some may say it's ironic that nature has left her with an intense mountain of life to climb but the wise would see it as divine perfection. She reflects on other challenging life situations to remind her of her resiliency and strength. Her mindful approach to life and sport informs us that she will no doubt get to the other side of this wave with more skill than most. Angela shares her experience with Lyme and her techniques for staying in the moment of life that she is living. She explains what true presence is from the perspective of a fierce competitor and makes no mistake in her conviction that it has nothing to do with being obsessed with power numbers. Angela is no doubt making her statement in the world by serving others through sharing her story and also through her women's empowerment initiative, I Race Like A Girl. She has single-handedly created a powerful community of women who are inspiring one another to take the next step and who are creating connection across the globe. There is so much gold in this convo and it may just be one of my favorites. It's hard to put a label like that on any of shows because all of our guests have managed to knock my socks off with their bravery and courage. Angela is no exception. I'm so grateful to have connected with this beautiful soul and I surround her in light, love, and power for her journey ahead.
Angela Naeth joins Alyssa and Haley for a tell all interview about her struggle with Lyme disease and how she survived Ironman Boulder on only 3 miles of run training. Hear about Angela's journey and the treatment for Lyme, how she handles setbacks mentally and the I Race Like A Girl Community. Plus, a bonus story from the outtakes reel, Alyssa's training in Vermont and Haley goes to a film festival.

Have you ever dealt with long term injury or illness? Angela Naeth is the 2015 North American Ironman Champion. Along with two sub-9 hour Ironman performances she founded the "I Race Like a Girl" Triathlon Team. In 2016 she suffered a broken foot requiring surgery and months of rehabilitation. She battled back in 2017 only to be diagnosed with Lyme disease; a misunderstood and often misdiagnosed bacterial infection.

Jesse Kropelnicki is the Head Coach and Founder of QT2 Systems training Ironman triathletes such as: Linsey Corbin, Angela Naeth, Jeanni Seymour, and Justin Metzler. Jesse is an engineer by trade and has approached triathlon coaching with an engineers mindset, creating systems, processes, tests, protocols, and calculators to systematically identify the primary areas holding each individual athlete back from excellent triathlon performance so that training can be designed to overcome those limiters and create a better athlete. Topics discussed in this interview: QT2 Systems OutRival Racing The Core Diet The Run Formula Race time prediction calculator Field work Nutrition The Cycling Formula
Today’s guest is coach Jesse Kropelnicki who is the coach of two past professional athletes guests - Angela Naeth and Linsey Corbin. What I like about Jesse and why he has had so much success is that it’s not just about the training. When things go pear-shaped most peoples knee-jerk reaction is “it must have been the training” - when most of the time it’s simply some other limiter that is getting in the way of being able to leverage the training. These limiters are typically daily nutrition, or race fuelling, race execution or simply the athlete's mental fitness is not there. We get into the nitty-gritty in this conversation and as usual, there are great lessons that can help you in your quest to be a better athlete. IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS: Managing your mental space for high performance Why context in any situation matters There is no balance The strategy to fixing your limiters The foundations of performance Unorthodox training methods Setting up your environment for success in training, business and in life Durability and why that is a key ingredient The critical system you need in place The stress budget and why you need to understand this And so much more Listen & Subscribe on iTunes | Stitcher Radio SHOW LINKS: Web: QT2 Systems http://kropelnicki.com/ The Endurance Training Diet & Cookbook The Field Work Nutrition Co Other things mentioned in this podcast The Advantage Emotional Intelligence 2.0 Social: Instagram Facebook Twitter Join (for Free) our TRISPECIFIC CAFE https://www.facebook.com/TriSpecific http://www.instagram.com/trispecific SHOW SPONSORS: Today’s show is brought to you by Purica.

Today's podcast is my conversation with pro triathlete, Angela Naeth. And let me tell you, we get deep and Angela really lets it all out there. This makes it so special - we all have ups and downs and the best of life’s hurdles to overcome. Angela shows her vulnerability but it also shows that that is the true path and the reason why we should truly be ourselves. Angela grew up here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada and is known in the tri world for her powerhouse of a bike.
