I take you with me LIVE on a bike ride! Topics include: Winners of IMTX and the heat index of 119 degrees. Men's winner ran a 5:51 min/mile pace! Trek releases the "Car Back" rear radar. Talking to the donkey's owners and getting his real name. New Garmin 840, my third for various reasons. Low cadence/ High torque training paying off Why it works Now back to averaging 220 watts on flats and 300 to 500 watts on climbs When you get tired, your cadence slows, so it trains that as well. How Zen and the Art of Triathlon got started. How I got the idea to record on the bike back in 2005. Feeding the donkey (Ezekiel) large carrots. Why I stopped recording on the bike. What happened? You can ride in aerobars about 90% of the time on gravel, great way to get in your volume training on much prettier and safer roads. How I got motivated to start recording on the bike again. Why you should wave at all the cars you can all the time while on the bike. Katie Abbot future guest? Things just are. The problem is how you respond to them. #Zen Jumping in the pool! Enjoying a recovery IPA. Zen's "Turning Word" and the tale of Zen Master Baizhang and the fox. Why gravity is only a theory and you can be happy if you can find just one other person who is happy in your same situation. The real meaning of Zen's "Can a dog be enlightened?" The real value of Zen in daily life is not trying to make things go the way you want all the time. Let things unfold their own way and observe your response to them. Practice better responses to the events and then fewer events upset you because you've learned how to respond better. The events are the events. It's your opinions of them that make you miserable.

And Skipper followed his pre-race promise of “a decent swim and sitting on the best feet I can” as he too was in that same pack.   Heading onto the bike, von Berg lost a bit of time in T1 which left a leading trio out in front as the likes of Skipper and Hanson set about trying to hunt them down. All eyes were on Skipper early on the bike and the promised ‘new Dad watts‘ looked to be forthcoming as he started to cut through the field.   His deficit on the leaders was down to 2:10 at 40 miles but the dynamic of the race started to change after that.   For the leading four of von Berg, Wilkowiecki, Marquardt and Horsfall-Turner were working well together and they gradually started to put time between themselves and the rest. Unfortunately an age-group athlete apparently crashed in front of Hanson on the looped bike course and left him with nowhere to go and out of contention.   So heading into T2 it was von Berg and Wilkowiecki who had moved clear, with each of them clocking best-of-the-day 4:05 bike splits.   It was just the fourth IRONMAN of von Berg's career and his performance was a nod to coach Mikal Iden, with whom he's worked since the latter part of 2022.   Speaking in the build up, von Berg had said his goal here was “the podium or better” and that was very much on the cards.   Wilkowiecki was the only one who could match him and starting the run there were just 23 seconds between them.   Marquardt was at +2:48, Horsfall-Turner +5:42 and Guilloux +7:02 while Skipper dropped right down the standings in the last few miles of the bike section, with the live broadcast reporting he'd taken a wrong turn – all of which meant he began the marathon over 20 minutes back on the leaders.   It was fascinating up front as von Berg and Wilkowiecki swapped the lead early on.   Both looked strong but Marquardt was charging in the second half and taking chunks of time back on both of them.   No fewer than five IRONMAN World Championship slots in Nice were up for grabs and the trio were miles clear of their rivals and guaranteed a place barring a huge mishap.   It was Wilkowiecki who appeared to be holding strongest but he suddenly started to send out distress signals going into the final mile and von Berg had timed his challenge perfectly. Just 12 seconds separated them on the line and Marquardt was only 21 seconds adrift on a phenomenal pro debut.   It was nearly 10 minutes back to Guilloux in fourth, with Cody Beals taking the final Nice slot in fifth.   PRO Men 1.

APRIL 24, 2023 CHRIS FOSTER, TIM HEMING    Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.   The International Testing Agency (ITA) announced this morning that American pro triathlete Collin Chartier tested positive for EPO from an out-of-competition test performed on February 10, 2023. Upon receipt of the positive test, Chartier admitted to the use of the banned substance to the agency, and as a result received a reduced ban of three years, down from four according to the ITA.   Erythropoietin, known as EPO, is prohibited under World Anti-Doping Agency regulations because it stimulates erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) and can modify the body's capacity to transport oxygen, increasing stamina, and performance.   In a social media post released on Monday morning, Chartier went on to further admit his use of a “PED in November after feeling like I have lost my way in the sport,” due to “intense pressure and expectations to win the biggest races in 2024.” His post went on to say that he had no plans to return to the sport after the three-year ban was lifted.   Despite having a relatively inauspicious short course career, Chartier was an up-and-coming triathlete in the long-course scene.   Coached by Mikal Iden, the brother of reigning Ironman world champion Gustav, he was a shock winner of last year's inaugural PTO U.S. Open in Dallas in September where he won $100,000 topping a highly competitive field including Magnus Ditlev and Sam Long.   Training alongside two-time Ironman world championship runner-up Lionel Sanders, the victory came three weeks after his first full-distance Ironman victory in Mont-Tremblant. Chartier then had a disappointing debut in Hawaii in the Ironman World Championship in October when he finished 35th.   Prior to those results, Chartier's highest competitive finish was a win at Challenge Salou in October 2021 and a third-place finish at 70.3 Boulder in August of the same year.   Fellow pros posting in response to Chartier's Instagram message gave mixed comments, with 2014 Ironman world champion Sebastian Kienle saying: “Let me guess, you bought it on the internet and also learned how to use it – all from the internet. Nobody helped you, nobody knew.”   Former triathlete-turned-elite-runner Lauren Goss commented: “Dude brave of you . No one sees the mental health side. Walk through the fire.”   Despite being PTO-ranked No 14 and an automatic qualifier, Chartier was not on the start-list for May's big money PTO European Open in Ibiza. He had originally planned to race Saturday's Ironman Texas and had been training at altitude in California, Ecuador, and Girona in Spain.   The International Testing Agency (ITA), the testing body who administered and discovered the adverse finding is a Switzerland-based, not-for-profit that claims no connection to “sporting or political powers” on its website. The ITA conducts testing for the Ironman organization from a pool of 46 professional athletes currently registered in the Ironman Registered Testing Pool (RTP) as of this writing—which includes Chartier.   Coincidentally, Ironman said that 2023 is the first year the brand has delegated results management and prosecution of doping cases to the ITA. “Testing plans are based on a variety of factors and differ from individual athlete to individual athlete, with review of specific performances, intelligence, and the testing plans of National Anti-Doping agencies to maximize resources,” Ironman said in a statement.   “Ironman does acknowledge the significance of the decision made by Collin in promptly accepting responsibility for his actions.”   What's New in the 303:   Team Kona 2023 TriDot Women's Team Mark - give your competitor the food that doesn't have nutrition; no racing 6 weeks from kona; start at 300 calories per hour Michellie - Climatize but don't spend a season in sun, humidity and heat.

In the episode we hear from 11 time Ironman Finisher, Vicki Muir Cherin. Vicki is signed up and will be going for finish #12 at Ironman Texas on April 22, 2022. Vicki currently lives in Boca Raton, FL with her husband and they 2 adult children and 3 grandchildren. Vicki talks through how she got introduced to the sport of triathlon. Because of an injury, she had gained some weight. After the birth of her granddaughter, she found that walker her in the stroller allow her to become more active without pain. Six months and 60lbs lighter Vicki no longer required medication for pain management. Vicki explains that her original plan was to complete every Ironman race in the upper 48 states. When the Legacy Program was announced she realized that would be a great opportunity to race Kona. She actually lived in Hawaii when she was younger. When I ask her how she's feeling coming into IMTX, Vicki says that she is feeling good. Her back is not giving her trouble and she's been able to get in quality work. She seems particularly satisfied with her bike workouts.Vicki gives a little history of when she met Jim Ristow. Jim was my guest on episode #3 in July of 2021. I We learn that Jim's wife Kim, who has been referred to as “the world's best sherpa,” as taught Vicki's daughter all that she needs to know and is now Vicki's sherpa. I announce that Kim has agreed to be a guest on an upcoming episode where I hope to get her to provide insight into how to best assist an athlete during race weekend.Because Vicki has been on the quest to finish 12 full distance races and qualify to race in “Kona” and because in May 2022 Ironman will hold the World Championships somewhere other than Hawaii for the very first time, I ask Vicki her thoughts. Because of the current uncertainty of if/when the World Championships are actually going to return to Kona and the ongoing concern of her back, she acknowledges that she would welcome the opportunity to race in St. George, UT if invited.Our conversion gets real when Vicki talks about the recent passing of her mom. Her mom loved Hawaii and Vicki has plans to return there to memorialize her either as part of Ironman or not. We talk about how small the world can be sometimes. John Lueder, who I met at IMTX in 2018 and was my 1st guest in Episode 1, was with Vicki on course in Santa Rosa a few years back. John provided support to Vicki during the run portion when her back was giving her trouble.I take the opportunity to provide a little insight and course recon for the IMTX road conditions. The last time Vicki raced in Texas the bike course went through the Sam Houston forest. The Hardy Toll, while relatively flat, has its challenges.Since part of the Legacy Program requirement is to complete at least one full distance race per year until your “Kona” opportunity is realized, I ask Vicki what race see is targeting after completed her 12th at IMTX. She acknowledges that she and Jim have had that conversation and the plan is to race IMTX in 2022. Which means that when she finishes IMTX in 2022 she will have almost a full year to do something other than triathlon! I eventually get around to asking Vicki what bike she rides. At the time of the recording, she shares that she is on a “basic” Cervelo P3 that she actually has to “shift the gears.” Since the recording, she has ordered a new Cervelo with Di2 and disc brakes. IMTX is scheduled to be the last race on her P3.As expected, Vicki shares some insight and wisdom that she's learned over the years as well as her plan to dye her hair purple to promote Dementia awareness. Vascular Dementia is what Vicki's mom was diagnosed with before her death.We wish Vicki and Jim both well as they attempt to finish their 12th full distance Ironman race on May 23, 2022.

On this episode of the TriDoc podcast, I answer a question about creatine supplementation. It is legal and it is beneficial in some sports but can it help triathletes, cyclists and runners improve their performance as endurance athletes? Age group world champion across numerous distances and disciplines Ellen Hart joins me to discuss her fascinating life story and how sport has played a major role both in uncovering her personal demons and helping her recover from them in part 1 of our interview. Finally, Lindsey Deneen joins me for the Triathlete Routard for the traveler's guide to the Woodlands and the North American Ironman Championship aka Ironman Texas.

After Erin earned her Pro Triathlete card at IMTX 70.3, she had very little time to celebrate her achievement, as she had to get back to her other job as a Real Estate agent. This is a great conversation about how her success in real estate has carried over to her success in triathlon, but now Erin is twice as busy focusing her time and energy on both! We chat about her preparation and goal setting for IM and how our mutual coach, Ivan Dominguez was an integral part of her success; as well as what she needs to focus on for the future. #jaymactris

He talks about his training going into the race coming off of Ironman Florida last year. There was a call from Ironman that changed how he approached this race completely. He enjoyed this race, but the training in Minnesota in the winter and some tactics he used to get used to the weather for a normally hot race. He goes over his nutrition plan and how he uses a smart strategy to make it easier on himself to make less decisions as time progresses without sacrificing the quality of the nutrition or his mental capacity. -Enjoy the show.

On today's show, Adam and Tanya add their thoughts on Ironman Texas. 

Ben Fuqua - Highland Park Middle School. Technology teacher 7/8th grade. Girls' Athletics Coordinator. Head girls CC/Track coach at the Middle School. - Texas State University alumni. History Major. - originally from Los Angeles, CA. - Both parents were college athletes (dad-wrestling, mom-volleyball). Grew up playing tons of sports year round. Parents kept me involved in all kinds of athletics. (football, bball, vball, wrestling, baseball, golf, running, etc) - Didn't really specialize in sports until freshman year(too soon). Wish I would have kept the multi-sport thing going longer. - Was going for a golf scholarship. Decided I was sick of gold and burned out. Had opportunities to play in college on the west coast but wanted to move away....had been in LA most of my life. Wanted to spread my wings.....moved to Austin where I had some good friends. - gained the "college weight", wanted to get back in shape...when graduation was coming up I got a cheap road bike on Craigslist. Signed up for a sprint...got crushed! Loved it though....steady progress for a LONG time. Had small realistic goals at different times. - always have been self-coached. - 2014, 2015, 2016 70.3 World Qualifier. - 2014, 2015, 2016 USAT All American. - Qualified for a professional triathlon racing license in 2015. Didn't take it....didn't want that kind of lifestyle. Felt like it would change the experience for me....enjoy my career and didn't want to change my daily life. - Qualified for Kona at 2016 IMTX. 4th in AG, 9th Amateur. (8:18:59...95mile bike....probably would have been around 9hrs.) - 9:30:05 at Kona. Top 10 American Amateur Overall. Team EveryMan Jack http://teamemj.com/ Sponsors: www.recoverlikeaprotexas.com www.ilovemybiketransport.com My back ground. 24 years in the fitness industry managing health clubs as well as training and developing personal trainers.

My moto is simple.” Chase your passion and your pension will come”, every day I thank GOD for allowing me to connect people with their goals and for giving me the ability to do fitness for a living. My mission. To provide a great transport experience to athletes and their bikes. It is costly to prepare for big races, the ability to get to the race and have one less thing to stress about shouldn’t cost as much as the race itself.
