In today's episode of the Backpacking Light Podcast we're going to talk about a very unique way to enjoy tenkara fly fishing in the backcountry, and the idea of minimalism vs. performance minimalism. Guest: Bryon Powell Our guest this week is Bryon Powell. We don't even know where to start with Bryon, he has been an Unlimited Member in the Backpacking Light Community since - get this - October, 2007 - more than 16 years! He's one of the most inspiring people we've ever had the privilege of interviewing. Bryon's the founding editor of irunfar.com and currently calls Silverton, Colorado, his home. He has a very, very long list of trail running and ultrarunning accolades, and is also a very accomplished backpacking and fastpacking practitioner. But what interests us the most about Bryon is his passion for backcountry fly fishing, and specifically, for tenkara fly fishing, and the extent to which he blends fly fishing and long-distance backcountry travel not only to maximize his enjoyment of vast wilderness landscapes, but his enjoyment of the fisheries that they harbor.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/338 Presented By: Zoe Angling Group, LakeLady Custom Rods, Bearvault, Reyr Gear Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Andrew Todd, founder of Running River's Flyathlon, tells us how they combined trail running, fly fishing, and beer into one big outdoor party. Andrew breaks down the mechanics of the game including how, where, and who can participate. Find out how they raised almost $500,000 for conservation projects through the event and how they built an awesome community in the flyathlon space. We also hear about some of the challenges they deal with over the years in preparing these events and where they're headed with that vision. Flyathlon Show Notes with Andrew Todd 08:30 - They created the motto, "run, fish, beer" which was derived from the traditional triathlon and named the game, Flyathlon. Andrew breaks down the game mechanics. 12:01 - They held afterparties in remote places in Colorado 15:50 - They have an event on July 22nd-24th which is their 8th Annual Middle Creek Flyathlon. The event is sold out but you can still join the party. Click here to see their list of events.  18:10 - Andrew explains the pitfalls they've encountered in their previous events 21:28 - Through the event, they raise money for native trout restoration projects like Trout Unlimited. They also incentivize the top fundraisers with products donated by sponsors like Yeti and Patagonia 24:55 - Over the course of 8 years, they have raised close to $500,000 27:15 - They've got something they call, "Fastest Known Fish" which is where a player goes out, runs to the lake, catches fish, and runs back - the player who has the fastest time doing that wins 28:28 - Derek Roedel is sponsoring their events this year. We talk about how the Reyr Gear telescoping fly rod is an ideal rod for these events because of its quick setup feature and mobility. 33:20 - The Western Native Trout Initiative is a great resource for learning more about trout conservation 34:10 - Andrew tells us about the Troutman marathon - read more about it here 35:00 - Bryon Powell, one of their board members, completed the Troutman 6 times. They created Ultrout which is more difficult than Troutman because Troutman is too basic for guys like Bryon 38:45 - Andrew loves barrel-aged imperial stout beers 39:40 - Founders, out of Michigan, makes a beer called Backwoods Bastard - this is one of Andrew's favorites 39:55 - We've had one interview with the founder of Fort George Brewery, Chris Nemlowill at WFS 205 45:30 - An orange size 18 perdigon is Andrew's go-to fly 47:15 - They have a limit of 65 participants per event to avoid putting too much pressure on the creeks and fish Flyathlon Conclusion with Andrew Todd So there you go.. If you are into running, fly fishing, and you love beer, this might be the perfect race for you. I'm not much into running but since I love fly fishing and beer, I might try it if I get a chance. Should be fun. I think Reyr Gear's telescoping fly rod is great for events like this. I'm glad they found each other and are now working together.

This week Eugene and Matt head back to the Mountain Time Zone for an amazing conversation with iRunFar editor-in-chief Bryon Powell. We talk recovery from Hardrock, how good it is to be back at it racing post COVID, and how 2020, whilst very challenging, did allow a chance for a reset. Matt has a legitimate fanboy moment and shows Bryon his dog-eared copy of Relentless Forward Progress that Powell signed in 2014. Bryon's passion for the sport and knowledge of the culture is legend, and this discussion touches on a lot of it, from Bryon's athletic beginnings and the start of iRunFar, to what the future holds - both of the sport in general and for iRunFar. We also discuss how running can remain part of your life without being the defining part of your life. Once a runner, always a runner.

She has over 25 years of experience in domestic and international consulting; training and coaching; and working in both software development and non-product-focused environments, including manufacturing (discrete and process), distribution, and sales and marketing. In this episode, they’ll be taking a look at a couple of different areas on the theme of agile by reviewing some questions from Quora.com! They start off discussing sprint retrospectives and how to make them more creative and fun; later shifting to discussing frameworks and which are appropriate where; and then lastly, they take a look at agile vs. waterfall.   Key Takeaways “How does a Scrum Master make the sprint retrospective more creative and fun?” Allow room for creativity by creating a safe environment through structure Slowly introduce new ways to run the retrospective so the team can look at their work and interactions differently Get to know your team — the better you know them, the better you can adapt the retrospective to fit their needs Use a method such as the Sailboat Retrospective to get the team outside of their regular 3-question retrospective Try the ‘Genie Retrospective’ and ‘The Four Ls Retrospective’ (and don’t be afraid to customize them to make them your own, either!) Read Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great, by Diana Larsen and Esther Derby for further insights on what makes a great retrospective Seed the data for the retrospective Check out TastyCupcakes.org, FunRetrospectives.com, and Retromat.org for further ideas for creative and fun retrospectives “How do we convince clients to use agile methods?” Share case studies and stories from your own experience that illustrate the benefits that come from it Explain the “why” Meet them where they’re at You can’t convince them; you need to help them uncover their own reasons for why they would want to adopt it so they can sell themselves on it Dig into what isn’t working for them right now that agile would solve Do a lot of listening about what their problems are “What is the advantage of waterfall over agile?” There is a time and a place for waterfall, depending on the project It can be a great approach to solving a problem and getting a product out the door for simple projects that have a clear checklist Remember: you can still apply an agile mindset to a waterfall project and an organization can use both approaches successfully   Mentioned in this Episode: Christy Erbeck Quora Sailboat Retrospective Genie Retrospective The Four Ls Retrospective Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great, by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen TastyCupcakes.org Retromat FunRetrospectives.com Stacey Complexity Model Cynefin Framework JordanRaynor.com Relentless Forward Progress: A Guide to Running Ultramarathons, by Bryon Powell   Christy Erbeck’s Book Pick: Master of One: Find and Focus on the Work You Were Created to Do, by Jordan Raynor   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

When Rob Jones was honorably discharged from the military as a double amputee, retiring from his position as a marine sergeant, he had two choices for how he could continue his life; let it overtake him or take it as a challenge to make his quality of life even better than it was before. I am sure you can guess which he chose. Rob decided his goal was to be self sufficient and he wanted to make sure he lived his life the way he wanted to, in a way that made him proud. Physical therapists were tough on him, making it more attainable to focus on his goals, and have no excuses, but as soon as he could row, Rob set his eyes on the paralympics, and once he was released, moved to Florida to train for five months. Six months later, Rob had a bronze medal in the Paralympics, and realized just how much we can do if we set our minds to it. Rob and his prosthetic legs are about to embark on his greatest challenge yet; 31 marathons in 31 cities all over the US, Canada, and in London, in 31 days. You can join Rob on his journey too, running with him in the cities, donating towards his goal of raising $1,000,000 for the Veterans Association, or just giving him words of encouragement. Hear about Rob’s journey, the logistics of running with prosthetic legs, and what injuries he will have to watch out for. 20 veterans a day commit suicide, and Rob is trying to change that by raising money to help give all veterans the support he had to turn his life around. This episode is for you if….you have a heart! This will inspire and challenge you in a way you may not have seen in a long time. Today’s Guests Rob Jones A retired marine sergeant, double amputee Rob Jones is not just a bronze medalist in the paralympics, but he is now on his next challenge to run 31 marathons in 31 major cities in the US, Canada, and the UK, in 31 days. What You Will Learn About How Rob’s life has changed since loosing both his legs and transitioning back to life outside the military Why Rob choose rowing to find out what he was still capable of, and how he ended up with a bronze medal in the paralympics in rowing His next challenge to run 31 marathons in 31 cities in 31 days Why Rob chose $1,000,000 as his goal for fundraising, and what that money will be used to do. Inspirational Quotes Humans are infinitely adaptable. You see a dog thats missing a leg, and he pretty much doesn’t know. He just runs around on his three legs, he just doesn’t really register that he’s missing a leg. We are a little bit smarter, so we know how things are supposed to be, but I think what it boils down to is I woke up in the hospital and I was alive. I just decided, my life goal hasn’t changed. I am still gonna try my best to have the best life I can possibly have, and in order to do that, I needed to heal, I need to learn how to use prosthesis and I needed to get strong again. I set myself a really tough goal, and it was a way for me to figure out what I can do and how big of a challenge can I still take on. The fact that is was successful bolstered my confidence. It was two years after losing both legs and I was like a skeleton, like a shell. Being able to not only recover from a devastating injury like that, but then relearn how to walk, and then take it another step further and learn how to row, and then row at a high level, and train twice a day like an elite athlete has to. I was proud of that. I want to be an example of somebody that when a tragedy happens they don’t let it destroy them, instead they accept that challenge, that tragedy as a new challenge and they use that tragedy to make their lives even better than they expect and also improve the lives of others. The way that I run, I have my prosthesis, I don’t have a knee so basically if you can imagine just your femur, and then there is a solid cylindrical pipe coming out of your femur, and that is attached to a C shape piece of carbon fiber, that is my running foot. It basically works like a spring, I load it up, and then it kind of bounces me forward. That is what America is about to me all 300 million of us coming together and working on a problem ourselves, not relying on the government or somebody else to do it. We are taking the responsibility on ourselves.

RunFar is one of the premier trail running and ultra running websites. They have everything you could ever need. I have not yet completed either a trail or an ultra race, but people like Bryon and Meghan make me more and more tempted...once I can run properly again. This is the podcast that is packed with helpful information on how to excel on trail and ultra races, from two people who know it better than almost anyone else. They are experienced, they get in depth interviews with the most elite and most experienced ultra runners out there, and they are constantly researching more, to give us everything we could ever need. We chat about post run (and pre race) interviews, and why they are so appealing. Could it be that we like seeing that human side of people, seeing the triumphs and tragedies, watching their stories unfold.  There is something so appealing for runners just chatting to other runners, those who understand us and support us. We discuss Bryon leaving his job to focus on iRunFar (even though at the time he was only making about $200 a month!!), and how to know if your blog is worth pursuing. I ask them for 3 tips on how to be successful in trail and ultra marathon races, and why a good support network is absolutely critical, especially when your motivation has gone. This episode is for you if you already love trail and ultra races or have one in your mind for sometime in the future. Bryon and Meghan have so much wisdom from all their years of working in the running world, and they are here to share it with you. If you want the truth, not the paid sponsorship, but real, honest reviews and feedback, this is for you. Today's Guests Bryon Powell and Meghan Hicks Founders of iRunFar, Bryon Powell and Meghan Hicks have more wisdom and experience for ultra and trail runners than almost anyone else. Listen to how this super website came about, and what they have learned from the best ultra runners in the world (Meghan being one of them!). What You Will Learn About Why Bryon quit his job as an attorney and moved to Yosemite to work on his small scale running blog (and now look where iRunFar is!) Their thoughts on the future of ultra and trail running, and if it will continue to grow...and why there is a difference between the US and European trail/ultra running. Why two runners just having a discussion, no matter what level, ability, or speed, is one of the most cherished things a runner can experience. Bryon and Meghan 3 tips for runners looking to do their first trail or ultra race (after interviewing hundreds of runners, and their own experiences, these are fantastic!). How to choose which ultra or trail race to do (and why the famous ones are not necessarily best) How to know if trail/ultra races are worth a try for you How to pick apparel, shoes, and gear for ultra races   Inspirational Quotes One of the funnest things about trail and ultra running, is that it is a sport that requires both a fit body, but also a wise mind.- Meghan I don't think as the years go on, I necessarily perform better just because I have done more events, I think I have to be fit in order to physically perform well.- Meghan The more events you do, the wiser you do get, and you get to see, sometimes wisdom can surmount physical fitness.- Meghan Runners let their guards down, tell these real stories of sometimes trials, sometimes tragedies in the racing aspect, not through human tragedy, but through racing tragedy, and the organic low key aspect we try to do helps.- Meghan The ultramarathon experience lends itself to a good story.- Meghan Sometimes you can be doing things for years and years and years, and then suddenly it just catches on in a whole new way at a whole new level.-Bryon If you are going to do something solo, stick to not only what you know best, but what you enjoy the best. Theres really no point in trying to become something if its not what excites you or what interests you.- Bryon Nutrition is an underlooked component in ultras, it is also the hardest part to nail. Practice really does make perfect when it comes to nutrition. - Meghan Pick something that really lights your fire. This has to be fun, so pick a race that requires you to run trails that are interesting to you or run routes that really light you up, so on the days your body is feeling tired, your mind is still really into it.- Meghan Follow your passion, something that is just gonna keep you motivated from beginning of your training to your race. It has gotta be something you enjoy, just cause something is famous, if it is gonna be a miserable experience for you, don't make that your first ultra. Make it something that will light your fire. - Bryon You have to make some mistakes to learn how things work and how your body reacts and how your mind reacts to the later part of the race. Mistakes are an inevitable part of being an ultra runner. The key is to not make the same mistake twice.- Meghan If you are being a student of the sport, and being patient and persistent in your training over the years, there is just a downward trend. There can't be a elimination or error or just bad circumstance or fatigue in an ultra marathon. Its just gonna happen sometimes, to everybody. - Bryon Resources Mentioned Last week's episode with Steve Jones Episode with Magda Boulet iRunFar Western States Page Hard Rock 100  Ultimate Direction Hydration Vest iRunFar website

It´s been another great episode of my podcast, filled with so many insights on entrepreneuership and persisting on the journey to turning passion into profession. Bryon Powell, former attorney in Washington D.C. quit his stable 9-5 to go on a quest to dedicate his time, energy and money to serving the fast-growing community of ultra marathoners worldwide. He´s a writer, author of two books, competitive ultra marathoner with over 65 races under his belt with the 400 kilometre Gobi Ultra Trail Race being one of his greatest achievements and founder of the highly popular online platform irunfar.com, the world´s biggest and most respected ultra running community to this day. It´s a conversation about patience and persistence, ongoing motivation, focusing on the bigger vision and how to deal with obstacles on the path. Full of surprises („I never had a plan“), laughter, humour, warm-heartedness and generosity getting down to the core why he wouldn´t stop to continue what he does, Bryon explains what impact his work continues to have on his life, his community and the relationship with his partner and accomplished ultra runner Meghan Hicks. He openly talks about the defining moments of being on the verge of quitting and what can keep you going during the tough times. He´s super uncomplicated, funny, open and relaxed offering a relaxed approach to nutrition (another surprise). An example of somebody who´s not chasing for the big bucks and looking for his own benefit but serving his greater purpose. No doubt, he´s achieved this over the almost last decade. I´m delighted and super grateful that Bryon took two hours of his time before he signed off to head out for a 50 k training run. That´s right. Things shift when you begin to crave running longer distances and 50 k becomes an easy thing to tackle. Enjoy the episode and share what you think and took away. Folge direkt herunterladen
