Our InnerFight Endurance Ireland crew took on one of the UK's most iconic ultra races across 25K, 50K, and 100K distances – all in the stunning (and brutally steep) Welsh mountains.With UTMB points on the line and legends like Jon Albon in the elite field, the stakes were high – but so was the energy. From training on treadmills and Sugarloaf peaks to navigating freezing mornings and quad-shredding descents, our team showed what real preparation looks like.

An interview with Jon Albon before the 2024 Western States 100.

Jonathan Albon is a 34 year old multi-discipline athlete originally from the UK, now living in Norway. Jon has left his mark on many sports including Obstacle Course Racing where he recently took home the largest prize in OCR history by crossing the line first in Saudi Arabia; completing 100 kilometres in 8 hours with 20 obstacles per 10K lap!  He has some equally impressive results in trail and ultra running including top spots at OCC and CCC in recent years as well as 3rd in the short trail distance at the World Mountain and Trail Championships in Thailand in 2022. He has twice won the final ranking of Sky Extreme Series and has once been the overall winner of the Skyrunner World Series. Jon and his wife Henriette, who is also an accomplished professional trail runner, have created a training app, aptly named AlbonApp, for athletes of all levels, incorporating strength training and cardio workouts. Jon will be making his 100 miler debut without obstacles at Western States 100 this summer.   Here is Jon....

The Rugby World Cup is underway. From when William Webb Ellis first picked up and ran with a football in 1823 and the sport of Rugby was born, to now, and the playing for the trophy in his name. Alix Popham proudly represented Wales at two World Cups, including the last time it was held in France. Undoubtedly the pinnacle of any sporting career with memories to last a life time. Sadly not for Alix... Because now, aged just 43, he lives with early-on-set dementiaWhen Arcangelo crossed the line first in the Belmont Stakes earlier this year, it was a hugely significant moment in horse racing. The first time a triple crown race - one of the most prestigious in the sport - had been won by a female trainer. Jena Antonucci is her name and as Arcangelo approached the finish line her excitement could be heard by all those around her.What did you do last weekend? Watched some TV? Go out shopping? Maybe a stroll in the country?! Well that's just not enough for some people... Particularly ultra endurance marathon runners! People like Jon Albon. Jon spent last weekend winning the 100 kilometre Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix, known as the "CCC". He's now won two of the three races that make up the infamous "Ultra-Trail Mont Blanc"... So when in a 100km race dose it begin to hurt!? The US Open will crowns it's champions this weekend. Men's finalist Danill Medvedev said earlier in week he feared "one player is going to die" because of the extreme heat. Meanwhile home favourite and women's finalist Coco Gauff had her semi final victory interrupted for nearly an hour by environmental protesters. Well someone who has long spoken out about the damage to sport climate change is reeking is New Zealand player Marcus Daniell. A member of the EcoAthletes, a collective of likeminded sport stars, he has been telling about the climate and his other off court activities, but also about what it's like to experience that winning moment. In Tokyo last year he doubles partner Michael Venus picked up Olympic bronze for New Zealand... So how did they handle that moment? Some sink to the court on their knees, others straight to the net for the hand shake and a reserved fist bump. For others... you're a blubbering wreck... Like Marcus Daniell did. As you'll hear the two men had very different reactions to their moment of victory!Image: Alix Popham (C) of Wales celebrates as the final whistle blows during the RBS Six Nations Championship match between England and Wales at Twickenham on February 2, 2008 in London, England.

Petter Engdahl (28) er Åndalsnes' siste tilskudd av legendariske idrettsutøvere.  I 2018 kom han på 23. plass i 5-mila i Holmenkollen. Samme år brøyt han gjennom som fjelløper og kom på 2. plass totalt i Skyrunner World Series rett bak Kilian Jornet. De siste årene har han satset 100% som fjelløper, noe som har resultert i blant annet en seier og løyperekord på det 100km fjelløpet CCC i Chamonix i 2022.  Nylig kom han og makkeren sin, Jon Albon, på 11. plass i skimo-racet Pierra Menta.

Noruega, el país más al norte de Europa, cuna de las temidas y fieras tribus vikingas. Desde el punto de vista físico, podemos considerar Noruega como una sucesión de pequeñas pero abruptas montañas, que se alternan con fiordos, que son valles glaciales inundados por el mar. Lo que interesa hoy es que, pese a contar con apenas cinco millones de habitantes en una superficie de 300mil km2, Noruega es una auténtica cantera sin fondo de formidables deportistas de resistencia. Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden, Karsten Warholm, Marit Bjorgen o hasta el pequeño Per August Halle, que tan popular se ha hecho recientemente. En nuestro deporte, están Stian Angermund, Yngvild Kaspersen, Eli Ann Dvergsdal, Anders Kjaerevik… Y están, además, deportistas no originarios del país, pero sí residentes en él: por supuesto, Kilian Jornet y Emelie Forsberg, pero también Ida Nilsson, Jon Albon o incluso el mítico Stephen Seiler, padre del entrenamiento polarizado… La lista es larga y, más, sabiendo que se trata de un país muy poco densamente poblado. Aparte, no es que sean deportistas de gran nivel, es que son la élite de la élite, batiendo récords a ritmo escandaloso. Entonces, ¿qué pasa en Noruega? ¿Acaso tendremos que mudarnos al norte para subir de nivel? ¿Es Romsdal el nuevo Iten? ¿Vivir y entrenar a nivel del mar, pero en plena montaña salvaje, donde acumulas desnivel para dar y regalar, es mejor que los training camps en altura, donde sólo cabe hacer sesiones ligeras? ¿Es de verdad la ciencia más de vanguardia lo que se esconde detrás del fenómeno escandinavo, como se ha venido planteando en los medios? Hoy descubriremos que la alta tecnología tiene algo que ver, pero no explica, ni de lejos, siquiera el 10% del asunto. Veremos que son cinco claves las que explican este impresionante palmarés con sello noruego, que está revolucionando el deporte de resistencia. Comprobaremos, igual que ocurrió en el episodio 2, donde analizamos los métodos de Kilian, que no hay nada mágico en la fórmula escandinava; básicamente, se trata de seguir (a rajatabla, eso sí) los principios del entrenamiento que todo el mundo conoce: trabajo duro, acumulado durante días, semanas, meses y años, a la intensidad correcta y descansando y recuperando proporcionalmente. Añade una pizca de tecnología y la cultura nórdica, que da gran importancia al deporte y a la resiliencia para sobrellevar la climatología más hostil, y tienes la ecuación completa. Parece que ya he desvelado buena parte del pastel, pero queda conocer los detalles y los números contantes y sonantes, ésos que nos gustan tanto a los y las frikis del rendimiento. En concreto, la tabla de contenidos de hoy es la siguiente. Primero, por si queda alguien poco convencido del poderío nórdico, repasaremos algunos logros recientes que demuestran a las claras que el método noruego funciona con total eficacia. Aclarado que la gente de ahí arriba, donde el sol brilla por su ausencia y la nieve lo cubre todo la mitad del año, sabe cómo entrenar para ganar, entonces analizaremos una a una las cinco claves: (1) alto volumen, (2) intensidad controlada, (3) recuperación sagrada, (4) tecnología con cabeza, (5) factor psicológico. Sin más dilación, vamos al turrón. Sígueme en https://www.instagram.com/correrporsenderos/

Ryan Atkins is the only six-time champion of World’s Toughest Mudder. No one else has won it more than three times and no other man has won it more than twice. Atkins won his first title in 2013 with the first-ever 100-mile performance at World’s Toughest Mudder. He also won individual titles in 2014 and 2017 as well as winning team titles in 2015, 2016, and 2018. His 2016 team performance with Jon Albon of 105 miles earned them the bonus prize of $100,000. Atkins also holds the record for highest mileage at a single WTM with 110 miles in 2017. Atkins is undoubtedly the greatest athlete in endurance OCR. Rea Kolbl is the reigning women’s champion of World’s Toughest Mudder. Her win in Atlanta in 2018 was a successful defense of her first win in Las Vegas 2017. With her back-to-back wins in 2017 and 2018 she became the first back-to-back individual winner since Amelia Boone in 2014 and 2015. Her 90 miles in 2017 tied the record for a woman set by Amelia Boone in 2012. Atkins and Kolbl are the only past winners to win back to back individual titles at two different race venues. Atkins won in 2013 in New Jersey and 2014 in Vegas. Kolbl won in 2017 in Vegas and 2018 in Atlanta. Ryan and Rea talked with us from a boat landing in Fiji. They will be teammates competing on the new Eco-Challenge airing on Amazon Prime in 2020. Stay tuned for more on the Eco-Challenge next year. --- Welcome to Champion's Week on World's Toughest Podcast.

Greta Dixon also makes her debut on the show, as Shaun and Jermaine discuss Nato pilots, Mullet hair cuts and old England vets. Hit up the WhatsApp line on +31 6 17116121 and send us a question for forthcoming shows where we discuss competitiveness- is it something you can develop or are we born with it!

This is a stripped down English version of episode #50 containing the interviews I did during the Mt. Awa Skyrace, Japan, last weekend. If you've listened to episode 51 you can ignore this one. This is for my international audience. Enjoy!

Awa Skyrace websitesVideo from the race (youtube)Patreon

Mt. Awa Skyrace race report, reiselogg, dokumentering av japansk fjelløpekultur, intervjuer, stemningsrapport og mye mye mer! Jeg tok meg noen ekstra dager i forkant av Mt. Awa Skyrace til å være litt turist i Solens rike. Jeg tenkte det ville vært kult å studere fjelløpekulturen deres på nært hold. Jeg kontaktet derfor race director Hiroaki i forkant av reisen og hørte om jeg kunne besøke han, løpe litt i fjellet og dokumentere det hele. Kanskje ville jeg få svar på hvordan japanerne trener, hva de spiser, hva slags utstyr de bruker, hvordan mindset de har osv.. Leser de Murakami og mediterer mens de løper? Driver de med såkalt forest bathing? Løper de kun mot øst? Det var mye jeg lurte på, og jeg glemte å spørre om halvparten. Men mye fikk jeg svar på, og det skal du straks får høre.Denne episoden er ikke bare unik mtp. at jeg dro til andre siden av jordkloden for å gjøre et race og for å dokumentere fjelløpekulturen der borte, men det er attpåtil episode nummer femti av denne sjuke podcasten. Tenke seg til.. Om du leser denne teksten vil jeg at du skal vite at jeg setter sykt stor pris på at du både lytter på podcasten og at du leser denne teksten. Det er nemlig noen ressurser her som du kanskje vil sette pris på. Lenker

Topics include the first race of the year in Socal, the US Championship Series and the point structure for 2019 and the 2019 Spartan Race World Championship at Lake Tahoe, California. Jack says the top men to watch this year in the Spartan US Series are Ryan Woods, Ryan Atkins, and Robert Killian. When Championship season starts, he says you can be sure to add Jon Albon to that mix. Jack also talks about some new names to keep an eye on and breaks down exactly how much money Ryan Atkins would have lost last year if the 2019 US Series point system was used in 2018.

Europe's Toughest Mudder preview! Ian Kay joins us to talk about the weather, the course, and the obstacles for Europe's Toughest Mudder. Europe's Toughest Mudder is an eight-hour race on a five-mile looped course. The man and woman who complete the most laps in eight hours are crowned "Europe's Toughest Mudder". Before we talk with Ian we talk about the prizing for the race, including the fact that winning Europe's Toughest Mudder is worth about 10% more than winning a Toughest Mudder in America. We review a few common questions about the rules and then we talk about the elites to watch this weekend. The biggest news with the elites is the one who WON'T be there. Jon Albon is competing in the Trail Running World Championships this weekend in Spain and will not be in the U.K. to defend his title from last year. --- Do you have a moment from your experience at Tough Mudder that you would like to share with the audience of World's Toughest Podcast?

We've got an epic two-parter with OCR World Champ and Skyrunner, Jonathan Albon. Before the guys speak to Jon, David recalls his experience of this year's Marathon du Medoc, reveals a challenge by Monkey Tennis podcast, talks "easter eggs" and reveals why he has a beer named after him. Then the guys speak with Jon Albon (interview starts on 42 minutes, if you want to skip ahead like Fi Silk...) In this episode, Jon reveals: How he got started running and his crazy-good first ever race (you won't believe his first ever race time) How he progressed in the sport and became involved in OCR and then Skyrunning His 30 second sleep trick at that infamous Winter Nuts How he preps for races and how he trains away from running ... and his exact stats (so you can compare and contrast... and weep) Listen to this episodes and you'll get a glimpse into the mind of a serious competitor and champion (... so it's a pretty big contrast from Jody and David's ramblings) Oh, and make sure you listen to Part 2.

Ryan Atkins, coming off an exceptional race season, finishing 2nd in The Spartan World Championships behind a fearless and relatively unknown Robert Killian, now sets his sites on World's Toughest Mudder. Ryan won this event last year but this year with the stakes up to $100,000 for the first team to complete 100 miles in 24 hours, he has opted to create what many feel is a dream team.  Learn who these team mates are, and as a bonus, get a heads up on the all new Online Obstacle Race Training program created by Ryan, Matt Murphy and Jon Albon.

Cet épisode est en anglais car les invités sont anglophones. Ryan Atkins pourrait faire un entrevue en français, mais comme les deux autres ne pourraient pas suivre... Nous avons donc choisi de faire le tout en anglais. Nous vous fournissons une transcription en français assez fidèle, pour vous aider a suivre notre conversation. Bon épisode...   DEBUT DE LA TRANSCRIPTION Bernard:   Salut amateurs de courses a obstacles, ici Bernard Parent pour un rapport d'après course du Beast du New Jersey qui vient d'avoir lieu ce 18 avril.   J'ai eu le plaisir d'y courir personnellement, mais encore mieux, j'ai eu la chance de passer en entrevue certains de nos meilleurs compétiteurs Canadiens.     Voici une entrevue rapide un à un avec Jesse Bruce de Alpha Obstacle Training, juste après avoir terminé ma course, donc environ une heure après qu'il ait fini la sienne.     0min 57sec          DÉBUT DE L'ENTREVUE AVEC JESSE BRUCE   Bernard :   OK alors je suis avec Jesse Bruce, juste après le Beast du New Jersey, et je voulais avoir tes impressions. Bruce, comment as-tu trouvé le parcours aujourd'hui?   Jesse :     Le trajet était… le trajet était vraiment bon, j'ai vraiment aimé le terrain, les collines, les montées et les descentes, les sections en sentiers plus denses. C'était difficile et exigeant avec des pentes abruptes. Mais c'est ce que je voulais car je croyais que ça nous préparerais bien pour… ça me rappelle les courses que nous avons dans l'est du Canada, donc c'était une bonne préparation pour celles-ci. C'est encore loin d'approcher le Beast du Championnat du Monde de Killington l'an passé mais c'est un bon début de saison, les pentes étaient difficiles, les descentes étaient très techniques. Alors c'était une très bonne pratique pour un début de saison.   Bernard :   Bien, donc es-tu content de tes résultats?   Jesse :   Ben non… Je suis content de ma course. J'ai trouvé les obstacles très faciles, à l'exception du transport de charge dans les seaux. Monter cette charge était très exigeant, mais à part ça j'ai trouvé qu'ils étaient tous faisables.   Bernard :   Le Rig n'était pas si facile.   Jesse :   Non le Rig était ridicule comparativement au PlatinumRig, il était très facile. Et puis je suis content de ma performance et de comment je me suis senti dans les pentes mais je ne suis pas content de mon résultat, car je trouve que le trajet n'était pas très bien marqué, nous sommes sortis du parcours à quelques reprises. J'ai eu une sortie de parcours sérieuse moi-même, j'étais sur un sentier et ensuite dans une pente, seul sans un marquage en vue alors j'ai dû faire demi-tour et remonter une pente ce qui m'a fait perdre environ 5 minutes et toutes… enfin ça m'a couté au moins la quatrième place sinon une chance à la 3e place. Mais d'avoir Ryan Atkins ici qui remporte la première place, suivi de deux membres de la Spartan Pro Team américaine en 2e et 4e, j'étais pas mal fier de moi d'avoir couru à leurs côtés, donc je suis content de mon résultat, je vais l'accepter.   Bernard :   Tu devrais être fier mec, t'es super!   Jesse :   Oui, je veux toujours être sur le podium pour le Canada, mais aujourd'hui je n'y suis pas arrivé. Mais c'est correct on va se reprendre, aujourd'hui c'était la première course de plusieurs cette saison, donc…   Bernard :   Bien sûr, on se reverra mon homme, merci.   Jesse:   Oui on se revoit bientôt mec, le 17 mai Spartan Super.   Bernard :   Oh oui!     3min 24sec FIN DE L'ENTREVUE     Bernard :   Pour vos commentaires SVP écrivez-nous sur Facebook.   Voici l'entrevue principale, version table ronde, avec celui qui domine tout ces temps-cis , Monsieur Ryan Atkins qui a terminé premier a cette course. Sa fiancée Lindsay Webster qui a terminé 4e, seulement après s'être perdue pendant un moment et Jesse Bruce qui n'a pas besoin d'être présenté.     3min 51sec DEBUT ENTREVUE TABLE RONDE     Ryan :   De quoi voulez-vous parler?   Lindsay :   Je suppose qu'on est supposé parler de la course! Parle-nous de ta course Ryan.   Ryan :   La course était bien aujourd'hui. Au début moi et Chad Trammell du Spartan Pro Team.   Bernard :   Tu pars juste en malade par exemple après une minute du départ, tu es déjà 2x plus loin que moi!   Ryan :   Oui on est juste parti sur le coup de départ. Mon ami Ryan Kent, m'a dit qu'il était pas mal rapide, alors on a commencé à courir ensemble et on verrait… J'étais en avance, mais il travaillait fort pour ne pas me lâcher, il respirait super fort, ensuite nous sommes arrivé à l'épreuve d'équilibre sur billots, il est tombé du billot, j'ai continué, et ensuite je pas n'ai plus vu qui que ce soit.   Bernard :   Est-ce que tu ralentis un peu quand tu arrives à cet obstacle?   Ryan :   Quoi les billots? Ah oui! Ça vaut la peine de prendre 5 secondes de plus.   Bernard :   Je suis d'accord je fais pareil mais je me demandais si c'était le cas des plus rapides.   Ryan :   Tout à fait, je crois que Jon Albon l'a manqué au championnat mondial, c'est surprenant combien de gens n'ont pas d'équilibre. Aussi je pense que quand tu arrives essoufflé c'est plus difficile.   Lindsey :   Ou quand tu essaie de le faire trop rapidement.   Ryan :   Et puis le reste de la course était super, j'avais du plaisir, il y avait des moments où je me sentais bien et je poussais et a d'autres moments je prenais ca plus relaxe, je courrais jusqu'aux fleurs disons, en gambadant.   Bernard :   Ben, tu es tellement loin en avant.   Lindsay :   Il nous fait se sentir bien…   Jesse :   Quel arrogant.   Lindsay :   C'était ton genre de course par contre. Avec les pentes et les sections difficiles.   Bernard :   Oui, c'était bien, avec les sentiers étroits, avec des pentes de ski mais pas trop.   Ryan :   Oui, beaucoup de sentier très dense.   Lindsay :   Ryan est vraiment bon à ce genre de trucs.   Ryan :   Je crois que j'ai environs 1200m d'ascension sur ma montre donc 4000 pieds, alors une quantité raisonnable de grimpe pour un 20km.   Lindsay :   Je crois que nous sommes prêts pour la Caroline du Sud la fin de semaine prochaine. Les pentes.   Ryan :   Battlefrog, oui. Je crois que les obstacles étaient particulièrement faciles à cette course, la poulie était facile, le transport du sac de sable était court et léger. J'étais… quoi vraiment c'est tout?   Bernard :   Pour moi le casse couille était vraiment la corde de tarzan à la fin. Pour Jesse aussi. La corde s'est retrouvé entre mes jambes et quand j'ai voulu retomber, le nœud m'a juste remonté…   Jesse :   Ça m'est arrivé aussi!   Ryan :   J'ai balancé une fois, j'ai remarqué que la corde était entre mes jambes, alors je me suis laisser retourner de l'autre côté pour pouvoir me dégager et rebalancer, donc je me suis balancé 3 fois.   Lyndsay :   J'ai été chanceuse, les volontaires m'ont averti. Ils ont dit, mets tes jambes d'un seul côté.   Ryan :   Ce n'est pas évident avant d'y être.   Bernard :   Ils m'avaient averti aussi, mais j'ai voulu prendre la corde si haute que j'ai sauté et en sautant mes jambes se sont écartées et voilà, la corde était entre les deux.   Ryan :   Alors es-tu tombé?   Bernard :   Non, non, mais ça a fait mal quand j'ai atterri.   Ryan :   C'est drôle, et vous comment était votre course?   Lindsay :   Jesse et moi avons eu le même problème.   Ryan :   Vous êtes tous deux sorti du tracé?   Lindsay :   Oui nous sommes tous les deux sorti du tracé un peu alors…   Bernard :   Est-ce que vous blâmez le marquage? Ou vous étiez juste trop concentrés?   Ryan :   Un peu des deux.   Jesse :   Principalement ma faute, quand j'ai remonté j'ai fait ah les voilà! Je pense que… Il y a des sections qui sont très bien marquées, tu t'attendrais presque à ce que tout le trajet soit comme ça. Car comme, surtout la partie ou je me suis pris était un vrai sentier, donc je l'ai pris et ensuite tu ne fais que la suivre.   Bernard :   Je suis d'accord que c'était inégal. Il y avait des sections ou c'était clair que tu allais tout droit mais il y avait signe après signe.   Jesse :   Oui parce que tu t'attends avoir des signes et tout d'un coup tu n'en vois plus. Il faudrait qu'il n'y ait pas de signes donc tu chercherais les marquages ou bien marqué. Mais c'est ma faute, j'aurais pu les voir. Il y en avait genre 5 en plus.   Ryan :   Il y a quelques endroits où... Je suis très concentré en permanence pour les signes. Et quelques fois j'arrivais à un endroit et je ne pouvais pas voir les marquages avec le soleil dans les yeux, ou le signe était juste par-dessus une section rocheuse. Il y a eu plusieurs fois où j'ai vraiment du ralentir.   Bernard :   Oui je l'ai vécu aussi quelques fois, normalement il y a quelqu'un devant moi que je peux simplement suivre mais.   Ryan :   J'étais complètement seul.   Lindsay :   Pour moi c'était en fait, genre les volontaires qui m'ont dit d'aller du mauvais côté. Oui, je crois qu'ils ont envoyé comme 20 d'entre nous de ce côté, je sais que j'ai vu d'autres coureurs qui disaient qu'ils avaient eu le même problème. C'était aussi ma faute par contre, genre j'aurais du savoir. Il y a des pancartes qui donnent la direction, je ne regardais pas, alors je courais dans les bois où ils accrochent des banderoles, donc tu ne sais pas si tu vas dans la bonne direction ou tu pourrais aller à l'envers, mais alors nous sommes sortis du bois et avons réalisé que toutes les flèches pointaient vers l'arrière et on a compris que…   Ryan :   Oui, il faut être prudent, ce n'est pas parce qu'on suit quelqu'un qu'ils sont sur le bon chemin.   Lindsay :   Exactement, mais je ne suivais pas vraiment qui que ce soit, comme j'étais en deuxième place alors j'étais seule et deux autres filles me suivaient… Je me demandais, j'ai l'impression d'aller à l'envers mais je n'ai pas réagi à cette impression donc ça m'apprends que je dois faire confiance à mes instincts.   C'était correct, Jesse et moi avons tous les deux dit que c'était amusant de rattraper les gens pendant le reste de la course pour essayer de revenir.   Bernard :   Bien sûr, rattraper c'est amusant.   Ryan :   Jesse combien, pendant combien de temps es-tu sorti du tracé?   Jesse :   Probablement un bon… je dirais au moins 4 minutes, je suis descendu pendant un bon bout  et je me suis retrouvé sur une pente de ski et même là je regardais partout je ne voyais pas de drapeaux, alors je me suis dit @#$%^ où est-ce que je suis. Et j'étais genre merde ensuite j'ai fait demi-tour et je suis revenu sur mes pas. C'était chiant car j'avais une bonne avance. J'ai pris de l'avance sur Miguel aux billots, et il est aussi tombé du… j'étais au sommet et je l'ai entendu… j'avais une bonne avance et il est aussi tombé de ce…   Bernard :   La traverse?   Ryan :   Ah oui le Rig.   Jesse :   Oui le Rig, le genre de Rig…   Bernard :   Oui il était un peu patenté.   Ryan :   Oui un peu.   Lindsey :   Alors tu étais 3e c'est ça? Tu sais à quelle position tu as terminé?   Jesse :   J'étais 5e, alors je l'accepte. Et il semble que le 6e était loin…   Ryan :   As-tu manqué des obstacles Lindsay?   Lindsay :   J'ai manqué le javelot car j'ai marché sur la corde. Je pense qu'il aurait rentré alors… ça m'a rendu heureuse. J'ai appris, je vais m'en rappeler pour la prochaine fois. Et ensuite le Rig aussi.   Jesse :   Les cordes sont poches car tu ne peux même pas voir quel javelot tu veux, j'en ai eu un tout courbé alors tu essaie de t'assurer…   Lindsay :   Oui il n'est pas droit.   Bernard :   Redresser l'embout n'est pas trop dur, mais le manche de bois tout croche est…   Jesse :   C'est pour ça que dans l'est du Canada tu choisis, les plus neufs, les moins sales…   Bernard :   Je ne suis pas convaincu que cette année ils ne seront pas avec un corde aussi!   Jesse :   Quoi?   Bernard :   Je ne suis pas convaincu que nous n'aurons pas de ficelle au Canada également. Car tu sais je suis passé proche de tuer un volontaire l'an dernier, il était derrière la botte de foin sur la droite, j'ai tiré sur ma cible, un tir parfait, j'ai touché le bois derrière. Le gars était juste derrière la suivante, il a crié, Je ne l'avais pas vu, si il avait été devant les bottes je n'aurais pas tiré là, mais il était derrière, je ne l'ai pas vu.   Lindsay :   Il faut qu'ils gardent ça sécuritaire aussi, ils ne peuvent pas avoir des gens qui marchent derrière pour aller chercher les javelots.   Bernard :   S'il y avait comme sur la gauche ou sur la droite ils pourraient fermer la droite pendant qu'ils nettoient, mais les cibles une à côté de l'autre, pas si facile.   Jesse :   Je trouve que, bien, c'est seulement la deuxième fois je les vois avec la corde mais ils avaient l'air plus proche. Même chose au Championnat l'an dernier.   Ryan :   Pourquoi penses-tu avoir manqué le Rig?   Lindsay :   Tu sais, je crois que  c'est parce que… au début c'était la barre et ça allait, et j'ai fait les deux premières cordes qui étaient pendues et ça allait, mais je pense que j'ai fait l'erreur de déplier mon bras, et une fois qu'il est droit c'est difficile de remonter, tes bras doivent être a presque 90º, quelque part entre droit et à 90, parce que les cordes étaient si courtes que si tes bras sont droits et que tu ne te balances pas c'est difficile d'atteindre la suivante.   Jesse :   C'est bon, tu peux presque mettre tes deux mains, parce que, je n'étais pas sûr car je ne l'avais jamais fait alors j'ai gardé les bras a 90, juste pour être certain que je pourrais traverser parce que j'ai raté le tarzan…   Bernard :   Oui je fais toujours l'erreur de garder mes bras droits et je garde assez d'inertie et ça avance facilement, mais j'ai perdu mon élan et c'était terminé…   Lindsay :   Oui je crois que j'y pensais comme a des Monkey Bars, ou tu peux juste garder les bras droits mais…   Ryan :   Je suis presque tombé des Monkey Bars car elles étaient toutes à la même distance et j'ai juste pris le rythme, et puis l'avant dernier était juste un peu plus loin alors j'allais l'agripper mais comme je répétais le rythme, je suis venu pour l'attraper et juste eu de l'air et j'ai fait wow, alors j'ai jeté un coup d'œil, il était juste assez loin environ 8 ou 10 centimètres plus loin que les autres.   Lindsay :   Oui, il n'était pas égal, certains étaient plus hauts que les autres.   Ryan :   Oui, ça allait, c'était juste la distance.   Lindsay :   C'était bien j'ai plutôt aimé.   Jesse :   Oui c'était amusant, je l'ai trouvé vraiment facile, parce que tu n'avais même pas besoin de te soulever a 90, tu pouvais rester allonger tout le long.   Bernard :   Ok, bien, merci beaucoup à vous. C'est quand la prochaine fois qu'on pourra vous voir en courses à obstacles au Canada? Je sais que Jesse sera au Super à Tremblant.   Ryan :   Je ne pense pas que je peux me rendre à Tremblant, je pense que j'ai…   Jesse :   Tu as le 17 mai à Atlanta, Battlefrog.   Ryan :   Jesse connais mon horaire mieux que moi…   Jesse :   C'est parce que mes chances de gagner augmentent énormément quand Ryan n'est pas là.   Bernard :   Oui, je comprends tout à fait. Donc tu attends simplement le courriel qui te fournit ton prochain billet d'avion, non?   Ryan :   Ouais.   Jesse :   Seras tu à Toronto?   Ryan :   Je serai certainement à Toronto.   Bernard :   Oui, on t'y a vu l'an passé.   Jesse :   Nous allons faire un gros party chez Alpha Obstacle Training, c'est alphaobstacletraining point com.   Bernard :   C'est correct.   Ryan :   Pub gratuite… J'aimerais pouvoir allez faire ces courses à Tremblant car j'ai fait des courses en vélo de montagne à cet endroit depuis 6 ou 7 ans maintenant. J'ai fait la coupe Canada l'an dernier. C'est tellement une belle montagne et j'aimerais y courir mais ça ne semble pas vouloir fonctionner.   Jesse :   Tu ferais un malheur, car j'ai l'impression que le Super de l'an passé était plus dure qu'ici.   Bernard :   La dernière montée était un petit rappel de ça, oui.   Ryan :   La dernière montée?   Bernard :   La dernière montée ici était un petit avant-goût de Tremblant l'an passé.   Lindsay :   Oui, c'était abrupt.   Ryan :   J'aime ça par contre, comment ils nous font venir près du début/fin et nous font remonter.   Bernard :   Je ne suis pas surpris mais je suis d'accord.   Ryan :   On a regardé le plan du parcours avant donc je savais que ça s'en venait. Mais je ne savais pas à quelle hauteur ils allaient nous renvoyer.   Bernard :   Je suis d'accord je ne savais pas à quelle hauteur on allait remonter. Alors Lindsay, c'est quand la prochaine fois qu'on te verra sur une course a obstacles?   Lindsay :   Je serai à Toronto, aussi. Je serai… ou Ryan sera.   Bernard :   OK, donc je vais avoir besoin d'y aller aussi.   Ryan :   Oui je suppose.   Lindsay :   On se verra la bas!   Bernard :   Bon, merci beaucoup à vous.   Lindsay :   Merci!   Ryan :   Pas de problème   16m 3sec FIN ENTREVUE   Bernard :   C'est tout pour cet épisode, merci encore à mes invités qui ont été si généreux avec moi. Ce format spécial en anglais est quelques chose que nous referons quand l'occasion se présentera. Maintenant si ce n'est pas déjà le cas, sortez dehors et préparez-vous pour votre prochaine course.
