From Scott Derue   Dear Triathlon `Ohana,         Over the past year, the question I have been asked the most has been about the future of the IRONMAN World Championship.  For the first time in its history, the IRONMAN World Championship moved to split locations in 2023 for two reasons.  Significant numbers of deferrals from cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic required two days of racing, and a 2-day, single-location format was tried in 2022 and found to be unsustainable for the local community in Kona, Hawai`i.  With a deep commitment to and care for the Kona community, combined with the rich triathlon history and iconic sporting legacy of Nice, France, the decision was made to hold the men and women's races in different locations.   In addition, aligned with IRONMAN's goal of growing the sport of triathlon, it was expected that split locations for men and women's racing would lead to greater exposure for all and more women participating in the sport of triathlon.  Since first announcing that format change, we have been meticulous in monitoring and reviewing athlete behavior, collecting feedback, and conducting extensive research.  Putting the needs and preferences of our athletes first – and thinking about the long-term growth of triathlon – we are excited to announce that, beginning in 2026, the IRONMAN World Championship will return to its roots of Hawai'i, with Kona hosting a reimagined single day of racing, bringing women and men together for the IRONMAN World Championship.  Upcoming Programming - Our March focus will be on running.   May 10 - Athlete Highlight with Paul Hunziker May 13 - Webinar Boulder 70.3 Race Recon May 17 - Podcast Boulder 70.3 Race Recon May 24 - Swim Camp Highlights and interviews May 31 - Bike Camp Highlights and interviews   G2G Spring Training Camp May 17-18 - Swim Focus in C.Springs and Chatfield May 24-25 - Bike Focus - Chatfield/Chatfield May 31-June 1 Run Focus - Boulder/Boulder We are 70% of capacity   https://grit2greatnessendurance.com/training-camp   So whether you're processing the big Kona news or locking in your training calendar for our spring camp season, one thing's for sure—there's no shortage of exciting movement in our sport.

Go The Distance:1 Kings 19:1-8 - Elijah flees to HorebVerse 9-18 - God appears to ElijahVs. 13- when Elijah heard God whisper to him, he hid his face in his cloak(mantle).Elijah meets Elisha.  Elijah throws his cloak on Elisha. The very things we use as a security blanket/coping device to hide behind, God can use as a vessel for power and authority to strengthen and courage others. Mentorship/discipleship. Elisha slaughtered the oxen and burned the plow to cook the meat to give to the people. His decision to go the distance at all cost. No turning back.BURN THE SHIPSIn 1519, Hernan Cortez arrived in Mexico. He told the 600 men and over 100 sailors to burn the 11 ships. Many had plotted to take some of the ships and flee to Cuba.  This sent a message that there was no turning back. This phrase, burn the ships, is to mean that you are fully committed to a cause, purpose or goal. This demonstrated that it is better to show a commitment of moving forward than to stop and hesitateBy destroying the ships, Cortez ensured his crew would be motivated, dedicated and willing to work together for a purpose.2 Kings 2:1-10 Elijah tells Elisha that he will be taken up to Heaven. Elijah then takes his cloak, the same one that he had hid his face in when the Lord appeared to him on Mount Horeb, rolls it up and strikes the Jordan with it. They cross over on dry ground.Take up the MantleIn the Bible, the double portion was always reserved for the first born male child of the family. The right of the firstborn son.Verse 11 says they walked and talked along the way together and when the chariot of fire came that it had to separate them.This indicates that they were walking shoulder to shoulder as brothers.Elisha then tore his clothes and then picked up Elijah's cloak and struck the water and crossed back over.Matthew 16:13-23 - Jesus asks His disciples “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”In John 21- Peter tells the others that he is going fishing. Going back to what he knew before he met Jesus. He didn't burn the ships to leave any chance of being completely sold out.Going the DistanceSo, what is going the distance?In the Cambridge dictionary, it is defined as to manage or continue until the end of a competition.Yourdictionary.com says - to have the endurance to see a difficult sustained challenge to its natural end without faltering.To continue to the end, no matter how difficult.In the movie "Field of Dreams", Ray is following the prompting of The Voice to build a baseball field. Then it directs him to go see Terrance Mann and take him to a baseball game. At the game Ray hears the voice telling him to go the distance. As Ray takes Terry home he would tell Ray, “I wish I had your passion Ray, as misguided as it may be; it's still a passion. I used to feel that way about things.”In 2 Timothy, Paul encourages Timothy to “Preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.”Wide World of Sports” Send us a textBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEPodpageBuild a beautiful podcast website in 5 minutes.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Welcome to Hilary Topper on Air, a 12-year-old podcast that helps you grow both personally and professionally.  I'm Hilary topper, and today we're exploring "The Evolution of Triathlon: From Origins to Impact." Whether you're a seasoned triathlete or just curious about this fascinating sport, there's something here for you.   Let's kick off with a personal anecdote. Did you know that I never even thought about a triathlon until 2014, when I went to Sanibel Florida and the Tourism director told me about the Captiva Triathlon? Who would have thought that 10+ years later, I would be addicted. Today, we'll uncover that story. Host: Let's wind back the clock to the 1970s. It all began in sunny Southern California, where a group of friends wanted to settle an argument about who was the fittest athlete. This led to the creation of the first triathlon in 1974. But the real game-changer came in 1978 with the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii, founded by U.S. Navy Commander John Collins and his wife Judy. The event transformed overnight into a global phenomenon, challenging athletes to conquer the formidable swim, bike, and run. The Ironman wasn't just a race; it was a test of human endurance and willpower, drawing competitors from around the world and setting the stage for the triathlon's future growth. Before we go any further, I want to thank our sponsors: The Russo Law Group, they are an amazing group of lawyers who really care about you and protecting your assets. Go to VJRussolaw.com. Vimazi, the shoes I love to train and race in. I've been really loving their walking shoe lately as well.

I also have a discount code of 20% off for them as well! And, Playtri, your multisport specialists for all your triathlon needs. They have so many opportunities for franchising. If you love the sport of triathlon, check out Playtri.com and learn more about opportunities to get your own shop. The 1980s and 1990s were pivotal for triathlon. As the sport gained momentum, media coverage helped propel it into the limelight. Televised events showcased the grit and determination of athletes, captivating audiences globally. Sponsorships poured in, and triathlons began sprouting up worldwide. Iconic events like the Nice Triathlon and the World Triathlon Championships played a significant role in its popularity. It wasn't long before triathlon became synonymous with endurance and athletic excellence. I think it was in 1982 when Julie Moss competed in the Ironman Triathlon for her college senior research project. She competed in a grueling 140.6 mile combination of swimming, biking and running in one event. She was in the lead. At fifteen feet from the finish line, she watched her rival pass her and thirty seconds later, she crawled across the finish line. Inspiring millions of people.  I hadn't heard about Julie back then, but as soon as I started getting into the sport of triathlon, I quickly learned about her story and eventually read her book, Crawl of Fame. And, if you haven't read it, you should. It's a great book about motivation and inspiration. Triathlon's accessibility also expanded, with local races encouraging more people to participate, further cementing its place in the sports world. When I started in triathlons in 2015, I was not an athlete by any means. I cut gym. I wasn't athletic. But the thought of doing something that was so outside my wheelhouse, made me excited. And, after that first triathlon in Captiva, I was hooked. I couldn't get enough of them. The thought of swimming, which I had to learn from scratch, biking, which I also had to learn from scratch, and running, which I knew very little about, thrilled me. It wasn't until I put the whole thing together that I realized that triathlons are much bigger than all of us and they need to be respected. A lot of people think, oh what's the big deal and they sign up for a half or a full ironman, and then they realize that it's not an easy feat. Gwen Jorgensen was and still is my hero as well as Julie. Gwen won the 2016 Olympics for triathlon. That was so incredibly exciting, watching her fly through this sport. I think that she also pushed her boundaries and showed the world that anyone can do this, despite the fears. In my new book, which will be coming out in 2025, I interviewed Gwen and she told me about a fear that she had on the bike. I have a similar fear. By talking with her and reading her book, Gwen Jorgensen: USA's First Olympic Gold Medal Triathlete by Meyer & Meyer Sport Publisher, you will be elighted by her. She talks about how she went on a motorcycle fast down a mountain and that helped her. It also helped me by just reading about it. The rise of triathlon has had a profound impact on the fitness community. It's not just about competing; it's about transformation. Triathlon clubs have emerged everywhere, fostering camaraderie and support among athletes. The sport has inspired new training methodologies and even lifestyle changes. But I do want to make note here that not all triathlons are associated with Ironman. There are so many amazing race companies out there including EventPowerLI, EpicRaces, Alpha Win, Integrity Multisport and the list goes on and on. Don't poo poo the smaller races. They are tough and they are inspiring as well. Once you do a sprint triathlon, you are a triathlete. You don't have to do an Ironman or Half Ironman to be a triathlete. I can't tell you how many people find out I am a triathlete and the first question they ask me is “did you do an ironman?” The other thing to note here, is that many of these smaller race companies do put on 70.3 races and also 140.6 races. These races are known as half distance and full distance races, especially if they are not Ironman branded. It's amazing when I go to the open water and see so many familiar faces. Or, when I go to an event, I feel like it's a big party. I know so many people and people I don't know, I meet either in transition or on the course or even at the after party. It's so amazing to feel so connected with these folks. The other thing that is incredible is that professional triathletes are approachable. I have friends who swam in the Olympics and friends who have competed in Kona as a professional triathlete. It's pretty cool that you have that opportunity to talk with so many amazing people in this sport. I have also read so many amazing books on people who have transformed their entire lives by doing a triathlon and realizing that anything is possible. When you do a triathlon or any endurance event, you push beyond your limits and discover your true potential. Fast forward to today, and triathlon is more dynamic than ever. Technology plays a huge role, with advanced gear and apps helping athletes optimize their performance. Social media has connected the global triathlon community, allowing for the sharing of tips, stories, and support. Triathlon is not just a sport; it's a lifestyle millions embrace. I love looking at strava and seeing what my friends and acquaintances have done. It's inspiring to me.  As we look to the future, triathlon will continue evolving, shaping the fitness landscape in exciting ways. As we wrap up, let's recap the fascinating journey of triathlon. From humble beginnings in the 1970s to its current status as a global sporting phenomenon, triathlon's evolution is a testament to human endurance and passion. We encourage you to share your own triathlon experiences or aspirations with us. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll dive into [tease next episode topic].

Maybe they'll even talk about the time Gwensanity swept the Rio Olympics, or one of the many amazing sprint finishes in tri history (which mostly seem to involve Lionel Sanders these days)   Here's what a lack of sleep does to your cycling performance - and how to improve the quality of yours Improving your sleep could provide the single biggest boost to your cycling performance it's possible to make by legal means. Though it was arguably made famous as a “marginal gain” when Team Sky (now Ineos Grenadiers) started carting their own mattresses with them at the Tour de France, sleep may in fact be a maximal gain – it really is that fundamental in building fitness and maintaining health. So how can you make sure you're getting the optimum dose of the most potent legal performance enhancer known to cycling humanity? Nick Littlehales, a sleep coach who has worked with British Cycling to help elite riders understand what happens when we sleep and why it's specifically important for cyclists. “The simple fact is, we should be allocating over 30 per cent of every 24 hours to a defined recovery process,” says Littlehales. “Everything gets repaired when we sleep, which means consistent sleep deprivation diminishes every pillar of human performance, not only muscular and respiratory recovery.”   It's while we sleep that most testosterone and human growth hormone is released, more than in any other phase in each 24-hour cycle. Furthermore, the stress hormone cortisol decreases, cells and muscles are repaired, and our heart and cardiovascular system get the chance to rest. There is a lack of hard evidence around sleep and sports performance, but preliminary studies have suggested that sleep deprivation may also be linked with accelerated muscle atrophy when in a calorie deficit.   “You need to listen to your body,” Littlehales adds. “Cyclists want to be continually pushing their boundaries and sometimes hours of sleep are perceived as a waste of time. But you need a balance, and you need consistent and sustainable levels of recovery.”   What are Continuous Glucose Monitors? Explaining their use, the ban, and Faulkner's DSQ "The fans don't want to see Formula One in bike racing, they want surprises, they want unpredictability," Rogers told Cycling Weekly(opens in new tab). "We feel that putting such powerful information into the hands of younger riders is taking away a skill - deciding when you need to eat and learning about your body [...] It shouldn't be a completely automated process where every decision is being taken by technology."   What's New in the 303: Nationwide E-Bike Tax Credit Bill Returns to Congress Leading bike industry advocate PeopleForBikes is asking supporters of the legislation to sign an online petition.   The Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment Act first arrived in Congress in 2021. Like most bills that come to America's legislative chambers, it never passed into law. But five politicians and bike industry advocates hope that 2023 will be the year Americans get tax credits for buying electric bicycles, according to a statement from industry advocate PeopleForBikes.   For the bill's sponsors, getting more cars off the road is a clear win for reducing reliance on fossil fuels.   “Transitioning to a clean energy economy includes changing the way we get around. That means transit, rail, and electric buses, cars, and bikes. Our bill will make it more affordable for working people to buy an e-bike and help get cars off the road,” said Senator Brian Schatz, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.   Other bill supporters include Representatives Jimmy Panetta (California), Earl Blumenauer (Oregon), Mike Thompson (California), and Adam Schiff (California).   E-bikes parked for a sharing program An office worker takes an e-bike from the bicycle sharing programs that have become common in many cities; (photo/Shutterstock) Bill: $1,500 Credit for E-Bike Purchase The E-BIKE Act hasn't really changed from its 2021 version, according to PeopleForBikes.   It proposes a refundable 30% tax credit for purchasing an electric bicycle — up to a $1,500 credit for new bicycles that cost less than $8,000. The credit would be allowed once per individual every three years or twice for a joint-return couple buying two electric bicycles.   There's one addition to the 2023 bill, however: income caps. These limits parallel the electric vehicle tax credit caps. That means no tax credit for those with an annual salary of $150,000 for single filers, $225,000 for heads of households, or $300,000 for those filing jointly. The bill also mandates a report from the IRS after two years to understand the distribution of the credit by income tax bracket and adjust for equity in the future, according to PeopleForBikes.   An electric bicycle tax credit was included in the House-approved Build Back Better Act in 2021. But legislators cut the provision when negotiations resulted in a new bill called the Inflation Reduction Act.   “The IRA is the largest climate policy package in American history, but to quickly and effectively take action on reducing emissions, Congress must consider the E-BIKE Act as an essential and complementary policy,” PeopleForBikes wrote.   Community Public Service Announcement Call to all local race directors TriDot's Value - Community Who Cares for Each Other; Be good Citizens TriDot Local Event Ambassadors are offering to be First Race Orientation Guides FROG to anyone self-reporting to be their first triathlon.

40 odd years ago I watched an ABC (US TV station) broadcast of the 1982 Ironman World Championships (there were actually 2 races that year in Kona, and this was the first from February). I was captivated from the first few seconds but I was completely drawn in when in sight of the finish, Julie Moss's legs wobbled and then gave way completely. (She recounts this in amazing detail in the conversation). After that, I kept my triathlon dream on the back burner until 1987, the date of my first tri and after that, I was off! 30 years of racing, culminating in the legacy spot at Kona 2017 where I got to meet Julie in person, a lifestyle business focussed on triathlon coaching, some amazing travel, and meeting my wife Bethany at the finish line in Kona have quite literally all stemmed from that TV moment back in the '80s! It was brilliant to hear Julie's side of events, including: How you could enter The Ironman World Championships by filling in a form and paying $85 Packing just about all of her training into the 3 weeks before race day Unexpectedly leading the race Reliving the entire crawl almost second by second Why finishing second might have been better for Julie than winning the race What happened next To find out more about Julie please visit these social media channels: Instagram Julie_Moss_1982 Facebook - Julie Moss page Julie Moss Ironman Hawaii 1982 The YouTube video of 'The Crawl of Fame' - This is the end section of the ABC broadcast I watched back in the early 80s that fired up my interest.

Julie's new book The Crawl of Fame

“…for anyone willing to undertake the seemingly impossible task of completing their very first triathlon, reading this book transported me immediately back to the blood, sweat, and tears I experienced as a first-time triathlete. I encourage anyone to push outside their comfort zone and reach for the stars.” In this episode of Hilary Topper on Air, Hilary speaks with Julie Moss, Ironman Hall of Fame and SATriathlon Hall of Fame inductee, author of Crawl of Fame, race announcer, and keynote speaker. Hear Julie's inspiring story and how it resonated with Hilary's own journey from couch to endurance athlete. Learn about Julie's current goals, her favorite races, and her advice for fellow triathletes. About Julie Moss, Ironman Hall of Fame Inductee In 1982, Julie Moss ran the Ironman triathlon for her college senior research project. Her idea was quirky, even crazy; only a handful of hardcore, highly trained enthusiasts competed in the little-known, 140.6-mile combination of swimming, cycling, and running. Julie brought no experience or appreciable training beyond running two marathons. She did bring a latent willpower that, the world soon found out, wouldn't be denied. What happened next changed Ironman forever . . . After becoming the unlikely leader during the marathon, the final leg of the Ironman, Julie fell and lost all bodily function fifteen meters (50 feet) from the finish. While on hands and knees, she watched her rival pass her. Thirty seconds later, she crawled across the line—stunning the millions who were watching on television. At age twenty-three, Julie became the instant global icon, and the public face of fitness and endurance sports — which exploded in popularity, partly because of her inspiration. That this young co-ed would represent such a new sport was unlikely. That she would inspire millions to change the courses of their lives in the three decades years since was unthinkable. Yet, it happened. About Crawl of Fame Crawl of Fame is the long-awaited release of her incredible story. Julie describes how she found her greater purpose while lying across the finish line at Ironman 1982 — and how that greater purpose as a woman, athlete, endurance sports symbol and, now, iconic figure has defined her life and inspired others since. Several endurance sports athletes have written memoirs, but none have changed a sport so dramatically as Julie Moss. Now, readers will join the inner and outer journey of one of the world's most impressive athletes, a woman who has already inspired millions — with millions more to come.

If you had to name one woman that truly showed the outer limits of female athleticism, who would you pick? For us, it's Julie Moss. Best known for her "crawl" in the 1982 Ironman Triathlon, Julie struggled to the finish line only to be beaten by Kathleen McCartney. Her loss on this day made serious headlines. A woman wanting to win THAT badly? Her mental toughness and ability to endure were admired by many. While others felt as though Julie's under-preparedness and desperation might turn Ironman into a "freakshow". This week, Ironwoman's Alyssa Godesky interviews Julie and asks her about how this inaugural race changed her life. While Julie didn't allow sexism to enter her sphere during this time, she does recall the gender inequality in terms of role models and representation. Julie reflects on the way triathlon has changed for women over the years, and where she hopes to see it go in the future.

For those who are interested in being a part of the celebration please email diversity@usatriathlon.org.   The five-month celebration will include the Together, We Thrive Powerful Women in Multisport Series, a social and digital content series that will focus on women who helped pave the way for women to compete in triathlon. To kick off the series, USA Triathlon has highlighted on its social media pages nine women in multisport who share what Title IX means to them in its Nine Days of Title IX celebration.   USA Triathlon will give 10 multisport women's legacy packages to influential women in multisport, which includes one USA Triathlon Lifetime Membership and one free entry to USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships, USA Triathlon Multisport National Championships and the Toyota Legacy Triathlon. USA Triathlon will also award the inaugural Together, We Thrive Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access Award.   USA Triathlon is launching its Women's Series, a series of locally organized USA Triathlon Sanctioned events across the country designed to grow and support the women's multisport community, in 2023. Applications to be included in the series will be accepted July through August with the formal announcement of participating events coming in late fall. The series will include a combination of women's-only triathlons and duathlons, instructional clinics and social gatherings that will accommodate new athletes to experienced athletes.   1974: Triathlon was invented by the San Diego Track Club with the Mission Bay Triathlon.

One of the cyclists, identified as a woman by local authorities, suffered critical injuries as a result of the crash.   A 2018 Ford Escape registered to 39-year-old Alan "Haley" Mill allegedly swerved onto the shoulder of an interstate highway about 30 miles west of Denver. Witnesses told police the driver deliberately hit both cyclists before fleeing and later abandoning the vehicle. Witnesses said they saw Mill attempting "to dislodge a badly damaged bicycle from beneath his vehicle" in the parking lot of a restaurant after the collision, CBS Denver reported. The SUV, which has a temporary license plate, was found abandoned the next day, police said.   "This person passed a cyclist and then drove off the road intentionally onto the shoulder and into two other cyclists and possibly accelerated while doing that," said Jenny Fulton, director of public affairs at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, according to CBS Denver.   Upcoming Multisport Events in Colorado (runningintheusa.com) Upcoming Classic Runs in Colorado (runningintheusa.com)   Video of the Week: I'm Back Motherfuc*ers || Race Simulation For Challenge Roth   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

“If you are able to be present and adjust your expectations in the moment, you can overcome a lot of things. If you dwell on what your expectations are when they're not met, it really easily derails you.” Nikki Bartlett and Rebecca Milnes join Coach Morgon Latimore to discuss how triathlon affects their relationship, racing during COVID-19 precautions, and how both give back to the sport of triathlon, with Nikki as a guide for paralympic athletes and Rebecca coaching them.

“For me, what Sam is doing is making parents out there that have a child who has challenges, or family members with challenges, see that sport is an important part of healing.” Tony Holness is the father to Sam Holness, an athlete with autism who recently competed in the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. Tony joins Coach Morgon Latimore to discuss how by meeting Sam where he is, they defied some experts opinions on Sam, who has gone on to earn a college degree and is continuing to train to become an elite triathlete.

“I had the worst race on the most important day of my career. I was devastated and I didn't know what was next. Triathlon is a second chance for me in this, which I think is very rare.” Chelsea Sodaro, a multiple IRONMAN 70.3 winner and Four Time All-American in track, joins Coach Morgon Latimore, to discuss being a mother, pursuing perfection, and how a major failure in the Olympic Trials lead to her becoming an elite triathlete.

"It's not just about the training, it's about really rediscovering who I am, who my family is. It's awesome,” says noted outdoorsman and professional fisherman Conway Bowman in a wide-ranging conversation with Coach Morgon Latimore, an IRONMAN coach, US Marine, and triathlete who brings his unique perspective and energy to the Beyond Podcast series. Conway and Coach Morgon dive into Conway's triathlon training, the importance of family, and lessons learned from his father.

“When people are passionate, they will respond, either negatively or positively. If they don't respond at all, that means they didn't give a crap. Be yourself, keep writing content that drives response,” says Bob Babbitt, the IRONMAN Hall of Fame inductee while reminiscing on the best advice he received as a young triathlon journalist. In a wide ranging conversation with Eric Gilsenan on the Beyond Podcast, the two friends discuss Bob's childhood in North Chicago, racing his first IRONMAN in Hawaii in 1980, and how he became involved with supporting challenged athletes.

“As a young boy, I wanted to be one thing only—a professional athlete. What I was learning at that young age is the concept of rejection, that no one wanted me. It's the worse feeling in the world so I started to run, because no one can cut you from running,” says Dave McGillivray, in a conversation with Eric Gilsenan on the Beyond Podcast. The two longtime friends discuss Dave's early motivations to begin endurance training, his history with IRONMAN, and his memories as long-time race organizer.

“Once you're out on a training session or once you're out on a race course being a father has been a huge motivation, an extra motivation on a hard day to keep going and try to turn it into a good day,” says Patrik Nilsson, who, along with Ben Kanute, join Eric Gilsenan on the Beyond Podcast to discuss their lives as professional triathletes while also being the fathers of young children. Ben and Patrik also go into detail on how being a parent changed how they view training and racing, the influences their own parents played in their careers and their best dad jokes.

In many ways she is the inspiration of the PTO's motto, “Dum Spiro Spero,” which means “Whilst I breathe, I hope.”   The many gutsy performances at the Collins Cup made this decision extremely difficult. From Team Internationals' Kyle Smith racing with one aerobar after crashing, to an unwell Daniela Ryf of Team Europe pushing herself on the run to earn three vital points, from the outstanding performance by American Chelsea Sodaro barely six months after the arrival of her baby Skye, to the mad sprint by Team Internationals' Jackson Laundry in the final two kilometres to win his match, the day was filled with grit and determination. But the performances of Sanders and Lawrence particularly captivated the fans and showcased the meaning of The Collins Cup.   Canadian Lionel Sanders, the spiritual leader of Team Internationals, arrived at the event having finished second at IRONMAN Copenhagen only six days before. However, nothing was going to stop him leaving his body and soul on the racecourse for the PTO's flagship event. Sanders not only competed on just six days rest from a full distance race, but he then rose from the pavement after a bike crash to win his match against Europe's Sebastian Kienle and USA's Andrew Starykowicz.   Simon Whitfield, Olympic Gold Medal winner and Team Internationals Captain, commented, “There is literally no way to describe Lionel Sanders. You can exhaust your Thesaurus with words like relentless, indomitable, unyielding, driven, inexorable, and never come close to describing what Lionel Sanders is or does. You can only conclude it is beyond the realm of human comprehension. In everything the man does he lives his mantra to have “NO LIMITS.” It was an honour to be his Captain and experience his passion and spirit.“   For the women, Europe's Holly Lawrence personifies the values of the Collins Cup. One of the marquee matches against fierce rival Ellie Salthouse from Team Internationals was turning out to be well and truly epic as the women battled side-by-side for every stroke of the swim, colliding numerous times as each refused to yield a centimetre. It was triathlon's equivalent of Ali v. Fraser fought in the waters of the Danube River. Lawrence led on the bike until disaster struck, and she crashed not far from T-2. Bloodied, she rose immediately to continue the fight, but her damaged bike took almost five minutes to repair as she waited helplessly. She watched both Salthouse and USA's Skye Moench pass her and saw her chance to win the match evaporate. Bike repaired but spirit unbroken, she rode into transition to a standing ovation. With no chance to win her match, she nonetheless persevered in the run and denied Team USA and Team International bonus points, thus helping Team Europe to victory.   Natascha Badmann, Team Europe Captain, noted, “Holly Lawrence's performance was an inspiration to our team. We had already lost points in Match No. 1 with the tremendous performance of USA's Taylor Knibb. If Holly was not able to continue, we would have lost an additional 1-1/2 points. With grit and determination, she battled back to deny both Team USA and Team Internationals 1-1/2 vital points. This did not go unnoticed by the fans and the rest of Team Europe, who were not prepared to see Holly's effort be in vain.”   Lawrence mentioned in her post-race interview that if it had been a normal championship race, she would not have continued after it took so long to mend her bike, but since she was racing for Team Europe, she was willing to sacrifice her personal goals for those of the team.   What's New in the 303: Sebastian's New Bike, Communities Uniting and More Contributors Than You Might Think Thank you for your trust.

In many ways she is the inspiration of the PTO's motto, “Dum Spiro Spero,” which means “Whilst I breathe, I hope.”   The many gutsy performances at the Collins Cup made this decision extremely difficult. From Team Internationals' Kyle Smith racing with one aerobar after crashing, to an unwell Daniela Ryf of Team Europe pushing herself on the run to earn three vital points, from the outstanding performance by American Chelsea Sodaro barely six months after the arrival of her baby Skye, to the mad sprint by Team Internationals' Jackson Laundry in the final two kilometres to win his match, the day was filled with grit and determination. But the performances of Sanders and Lawrence particularly captivated the fans and showcased the meaning of The Collins Cup.   Canadian Lionel Sanders, the spiritual leader of Team Internationals, arrived at the event having finished second at IRONMAN Copenhagen only six days before. However, nothing was going to stop him leaving his body and soul on the racecourse for the PTO's flagship event. Sanders not only competed on just six days rest from a full distance race, but he then rose from the pavement after a bike crash to win his match against Europe's Sebastian Kienle and USA's Andrew Starykowicz.   Simon Whitfield, Olympic Gold Medal winner and Team Internationals Captain, commented, “There is literally no way to describe Lionel Sanders. You can exhaust your Thesaurus with words like relentless, indomitable, unyielding, driven, inexorable, and never come close to describing what Lionel Sanders is or does. You can only conclude it is beyond the realm of human comprehension. In everything the man does he lives his mantra to have “NO LIMITS.” It was an honour to be his Captain and experience his passion and spirit.“   For the women, Europe's Holly Lawrence personifies the values of the Collins Cup. One of the marquee matches against fierce rival Ellie Salthouse from Team Internationals was turning out to be well and truly epic as the women battled side-by-side for every stroke of the swim, colliding numerous times as each refused to yield a centimetre. It was triathlon's equivalent of Ali v. Fraser fought in the waters of the Danube River. Lawrence led on the bike until disaster struck, and she crashed not far from T-2. Bloodied, she rose immediately to continue the fight, but her damaged bike took almost five minutes to repair as she waited helplessly. She watched both Salthouse and USA's Skye Moench pass her and saw her chance to win the match evaporate. Bike repaired but spirit unbroken, she rode into transition to a standing ovation. With no chance to win her match, she nonetheless persevered in the run and denied Team USA and Team International bonus points, thus helping Team Europe to victory.   Natascha Badmann, Team Europe Captain, noted, “Holly Lawrence's performance was an inspiration to our team. We had already lost points in Match No. 1 with the tremendous performance of USA's Taylor Knibb. If Holly was not able to continue, we would have lost an additional 1-1/2 points. With grit and determination, she battled back to deny both Team USA and Team Internationals 1-1/2 vital points. This did not go unnoticed by the fans and the rest of Team Europe, who were not prepared to see Holly's effort be in vain.”   Lawrence mentioned in her post-race interview that if it had been a normal championship race, she would not have continued after it took so long to mend her bike, but since she was racing for Team Europe, she was willing to sacrifice her personal goals for those of the team.   What's New in the 303: Sebastian's New Bike, Communities Uniting and More Contributors Than You Might Think Thank you for your trust.

In 1977, some athletes in Hawaii were debating whether runners, swimmers or cyclists were the most fit. John Collins suggested that they hold a triathlon that combined three distance events on Oahu to determine who was the most fit. The one who finished first would be called the "Iron Man."  Fifteen men started the race in February of 1978. This informal event became one of the most famous endurance races in the world. Today, over 170 Ironman triathlons are held each year in scores of countries around the world. Could you do it? You would start at 7 a.m. with an ocean swim of 2.4 miles. Then you'd immediately bike 112 miles. You'd finish -- or should I say what finishes you -- is climbing off the bike and running a marathon, 26.2 miles. If you are a top athlete, you would finish the race in less than 12 hours. What does the Ironman have to do with self-control? In the original language, the word self-control has the nuance of endurance. If you are running the Ironman Triathlon, your desire to quit must be controlled. In 1982, Julie Moss fell just yards short of the finish line. After hours of exertion, she was suffering severe fatigue and dehydration. Yet she crawled the final yards to complete the race.* In some races, just finishing is the victory. Keep this picture in mind to understand self-control. *"Ironman Triathlon," Wikipedia, last updated June 24, 2021, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Triathlon.

They say we all have a book in us. The trouble is that most of us never take the time to commit our thoughts or life experiences to paper. If you did it might turn out to be witty, insightful, life-changing. Today's guest Brock Gibbs did just that as he recounts his triathlon experiences in the book “My Co-workers Think I'm a Pro”. If you've been on your own triathlon journey then I'm sure you'll find a lot of similarities with Brock's story as we chat about: The frustration of injury Triathlon terminology, training kit, racing - from feeling like an outsider to becoming part of the in-crowd Why you hate the volunteers & spectators when you are having a bad day Training - why just doing more and harder probably isn't the right way A pre-race nutrition like you've never heard before and why you shouldn't drink in the bath Is it really necessary to deflate and then inflate tyres in T1? The pre-race port-a-loo lineup Mentoring newbies in T1? Brock's advice to other newbies doing their first triathlon? If you would like to purchase a copy of Brock's book, go to "My Co-workers think I'm a pro" You can also purchase at Waterstones   Brock has a blog that he tries to add to every two weeks and this will be the basis for his next book www.thehacktriathlonblog.ca You can also find Brock on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gibbs.brock/ Facebook    Brock also recommended a couple of his favourite books: Draft Animals: Living The Pro Cycling Dream by Phil Gaimon and  Shadows On The Road: Life At The Heart Of The Peloton by Michael Barry.   We also chatted about...

“I no longer have Coach Dan, now I have Coach Baby True and Coach Baby True is like today yeah a swim is okay, we can go for a swim. Today, I think you should take a nap instead and I think alright Baby True you're the boss and for me that has been a huge shift.” Sarah True is getting ready to join the long list of IRONMAN Athletes who have recently become parents. Sarah sits down with Chelsea Sodaro to discuss how training schedules fluctuate during pregnancy amongst a long list of topics in this episode of the Beyond Podcast.

“I think that somehow the physical competences that we get through pursuing sports and athletics builds an amazing amount of confidence. That confidence allows us to succeed in other aspects of life.” Chelsea Sodaro caught up with her favorite triathlete, Dr. Marci Snodgrass. Dr. Snodgrass also happens to be Chelsea's mom. They discuss Marci's life in sport, and the barriers that she was able to break in this episode of the Beyond Podcast!

“The most important thing is that you have the surrounding people who support you especially in the first years and that you can train without thinking all of the time if the baby is doing well.” Chelsea Sodaro caught up with Daniela Bleymehl, a Top 10 finisher at the 2019 IRONMAN World Championship, to discuss being a mother and the importance of having a strong support group while training and traveling, in this episode of the Beyond Podcast!

“I would be out running (pregnant), and people would look at me like I had two heads. I remember that was the first question that people would ask me, can you still exercise?” Chelsea Sodaro caught up with Age Group IRONMAN World Champion triathlete Amy Farrell to discuss how the resources available to expecting mothers, who also happen to be athletes, have evolved over the years.

“I'm very happy that the sport showed me the weakness, my personal weakness, and the things I have to work on. It made me grow and it made me in to the person I am.” Chelsea caught up with Anja Ippach to talk about being a new mother and reflections of a career in triathlon, and what the future holds in this episode of the Beyond Podcast!

“I just tried to remind myself that I am achieving something by the fact that you are growing a baby and that is easy to forget sometimes when you’re not achieving what you’re normally achieving.” Susie Cheetham describes what it was like to stop training leading up to the birth of her first child. Tune in as Chelsea Sodaro and Susie discuss juggling motherhood and professional sport parenting 101 in this episode of the Beyond Podcast

“I think we're probably in for the greatest challenge of our careers this year with balancing two.

“The common question is why IRONMAN, why triathlons? It’s to train my mind. When I do a 7 to 10 hour training day or an IRONMAN and I go to do a three hour IndyCar race, it‘s a piece of cake, or in my mind it is.” Find out how training for an IRONMAN race helps keep him mentally prepared to take on the challenges of an IndyCar race in this episode of the Chelsea and Eric Show (Part of the Beyond Series).

“It is super important that triathlon is used as something healthy and is an outlet as opposed to something that becomes too much. Going longer and going further and trying to be better is not always the best solution.” Overtraining is real in the world of endurance sports and overcoming the overtraining aspect can be difficult. Sarah Crowley explains how she centers her energy in this episode of the Chelsea and Eric Show (Part of the Beyond Series).

"We were more inclined to think that it was a way of living, having that beach lifestyle. You didn’t think about baseball, basketball, football, soccer. You thought about the tide and the wind conditions and who has a good paddleboard I could borrow for the race on Saturday.” Scott Tinley, two-time IRONMAN World Champion (1982 and 1985), narrates what it was like to compete during the infancy of sport of Triathlon. Tune in to the Chelsea and Eric Show (Part of the Beyond Series) to hear more about Scott’s triathlon achievements and how he reconnected with his fellow triathletes.

How do you begin to describe a podcast with a woman who not only help put triathlon on the map, but who has inspired so many people.

SPORTING WITNESS – IRONMAN’S IRON WOMAN (26th MARCH). In 1982, Julie Moss made headlines when she crawled to the finish line of the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii after collapsing just metres from the end of her race. It was her first competitive triathlon and she came second, but as Julie explains to Rebecca Kesby, that heroic fight for the line changed her life, and her attitude to the sport. The moment also inspired a surge in popularity for Ironman - until then a little known event. PHOTO: Julie Moss at the finish line (Copyright, Carol Hogan Photojournalism)

Whether it's to prevent injury or to rehabilitate an injury. If you've ever experienced a running injury and gone to see a physical therapist, they don't just stretch you, give you a massage and send you on your way. They will likely prescribe some strength training to develop functional strength in whatever muscle groups that have lost their ability to provide the correct function movement. If you've ever gone through the process of having a functional strength test and been prescribe strength training, a qualified PT will also make sure you are doing the exercise correctly. Take the video of the week with the 1/4 box squat as an example. Note how the knee tracks straight in the example demonstrated by Tom. If you have weak glutes, you may find that your knee collapses. If that happens, either use a lower height step or use a hand rail. If you don't have a exercise step, use the stairs in your house or office and grab onto the handrail for support. Watch your knee tracking in the mirror or look down at your knee to make sure it stays aligned with your ankle and hip joints. As you continue to do the exercise regularly, you will begin to get stronger.

Endurance News: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/25/nyregion/newyorktoday/nyc-news-bicycle-safety.html?register=email&auth=register-email Today Mr. de Blasio is scheduled to unveil what he is calling a “green wave” bicycle plan. It includes $58.4 million in investments over five years and a commitment to annually build 30 miles of protected bike lanes. (As Streetsblog has reported, Staten Island has “just 100 yards of protected bike lane on a single road.”). The police will also pursue drivers at “crash-prone intersections” for speeding, blocking bike lanes and failing to yield, according to the plan. (In the last few weeks, the police said they have given more than 7,000 summonses to drivers for failing to yield and blocking bike lanes.) The city will also install 2,000 bike parking spaces annually and look into creating a “high-capacity bicycle parking system.” https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/tour-de-france/egan-bernal-says-winning-tour-de-france-2019-feeling-happiness-dont-know-describe-433099 Egan Bernal said he can’t describe the feeling of happiness after winning the Tour de France. The Team Ineos rider has made history as the first Colombian to ever win the yellow jersey, while also being the youngest victor in the post-war era. Bernal was overwhelmed by the occasion as he won the Tour in just his second time in the race at 22-years old.   Upcoming Interviews: Debbie Potts, host of the Whole Athlete Podcast and author of the book by the same title.

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.  Go to  MileHighEndurance.com, click on the "subscribe" button, and you will get the newsletter with show notes and all the links and articles sent to you automatically every week.

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.   Video of the Week:  Pushing the Limits of Human Performance - Red Bull Project Endurance   Endurance Trivia: Question #1 - What is Vo2 Max?

Welcome Welcome to Episode #171 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.  You have a lot of options for training information and we are glad you are choosing to spend some time with us.  Brain training. What has always fascinated me about endurance is the brains role.  You undoubtedly have your own experience with pacing, giving up or digging deep.  I mentioned last week that I was reading the book, Endure by writer Alex Hutchison.  A significant amount of the content of this book covered various aspects and studies about the brain's involvement in everything from learning to pace ourselves like we heard in last week's episode and the example of the study of children in a running study and at what age the brain learns to conserve energy and "pace" our effort for future needs.  Or, in Tim Noake's "Central Governor" theory and research that first proposed that it isn't the body that knows the limits and the brain simply responds and decides to slow down, there's actually a part of the brain that takes information and stops the body before you reach the physical limits of endurance.   You undoubtedly also have experience using your brain to things as simply as learning to ride a bike, or as hard as nailing the swim stroke or increasing your running cadence.  Today, we are taking a look at a different aspect of brain training.  Is there a way to make the neural connections between the brain and muscles stronger, to recruit muscles more efficiently, to be more resilient, to have greater strength and endurance.  We have Tom Griffin from Halo Neuroscience joining us today to talk about the science, the studies, and the new design of the Halo2.  You will be introduced to the topic of TDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation).  We will talk about that in the interview, and then elaborate on it after in some additional studies that I read about in Alex Hutchison's book Endure.   Announcements: Just a reminder that clothing orders will ship on April 4th.  If you missed the order window, I will have some bib shorts, running shirts, arm warmer and hats.

Similarly, when doing a 20 minute all our effort on the trainer in your basement, you may be able to achieve what you believe is your best 20 minute power effort.  Yet, do a time trial race the next day in a competitive situation and now you miraculously find an additional 6 watts of power over the same or greater distance.  Is it that you are 6 watts stronger the next day?  What is the brains role in slowing us down or speeding us up?  How can we tap into those reserves in training?  Do muscles really have memory? How can we get stronger, faster and have more endurance, using our brains?  Let's get into the interview with Tom Griffin.   Sponsor - Halo Neuroscience: Our post interview discussion is sponsored by Halo Neuroscience.  The Halo Sport from Halo Neuroscience will help you learn the technique and form to get faster.  20 minutes of neural priming with the Halo Headset gives you an hour of neural plasticity to work and lock in the muscle movement that leads to strength, power and endurance.

Speech therapist and union rep Julie Moss

For our premiere episode, leader Julie Moss collapses yards from the finish line at the 1982 Ironman Triathlon. As she stumbles repeatedly and desperately begins to crawl, golden girl Kathleen McCartney passes her for the win. Listen to these two amazing women reflect back on the race that put the Ironman on the map and […] The post The Crawl of Fame | Ep 1 appeared first on the Sports Rivals podcast.

I’ve been a longtime fan of Ironman, right from that day over 30 years ago when I watched the 1982 coverage with Julie Moss, through to my first Ironman in 1995, and to 2017 when I finally got to the start (and finish line) in Kona. On that journey I have seen massive changes at WTC - 3 changes of ownership, growth in Ironman events from 8 to over 40, and the introduction of 70.3 among the most notable.  Ironman is not without its detractors and many of them make some very vocal if slightly unfair comments.  Well today, I get to chat to the man at the top, CEO of Ironman, Andrew Messick.  He agreed in advance that I could ask him anything, although he also stated that he reserved the right to ‘pass’ on any question.  Fortunately that didn’t happen, and you will be able to hear in our conversation: The challenges of changing an Ironman race venue in less than 4 weeks (Ironman Florida 2018) Why compromising athlete safety is never an option for Ironman Delivering life changing events for incredible people Drafting in Kona - is changing the start the answer to congestion on the bike? Kona - why racing over 2 days is not feasible on the Big Island Drug testing - what WTC are doing right now Celebrities racing in Kona - why it’s a good thing for Ironman Why Ironman does not go back to some race venues Will they ever move the Ironman World Championships from Kona? M-dot tattoos - why Ironman is proud and scared of this trend Andrew explains how he was an Ironman athlete before an Ironman employee, and why Challenge Roth IS on his bucket list Deferrals, refunds, and special cases For more information please go to www.SimonWardTriathlonCoach.com, or www.TheTriathlonCoach.com, or email Beth@thetriathloncoach.com. 

Refusing to give up - Julie Moss made history in 1982 when she crawled to the finish line, having collapsed just metres from the end of the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. It was her first competitive triathlon and she came second, but as she explains to Rebecca Kesby for Witness - that heroic fight for the line changed her life, and her attitude to the sport. The moment also inspired a surge in popularity for Ironman - until then a little known event. (Photo Copyright, Carol Hogan Photojournalism)

Guest host Simon Brooks returns with a mysterious tale of books and to share stories! Julie Moss tells "Young Head of the Household" and Pam Faro tells "Ten Chests".

In February 1982 on the big island of Hawaii, a young graduate student by the name of Julie Moss showed the world what it means to never give up. Having entered the Hawaii Ironman as a means to complete her graduate school thesis and finish up her degree, Julie never dreamed that she would find herself in the lead that day. She held her position strong until the final half mile when signs of severe dehydration began to set in. Eventually, her body gave out on her with just yards to go and she collapsed to the ground. What ensued became athletic history and made Julie a legend in the sport of Ironman triathlon. In this episode, Julie describes a moment of surrender when she didn't feel she could make it another inch and then the immediate wave of willful energy that came over her to get up and move. From this will, she was able to get to her hands and knees and crawl herself down the shoot and over the line. These moments are emblazoned in the sport Ironman triathlon and proof to us all that anything is possible. Julie is famous for that crawl and even named her book, Crawl of Fame, after her iconic experience but there is so much more to Julie than those last few yards of the race. Thirty five years later she is still competing in triathlon, she is a dedicated yogi, a mom and a woman on a mission to serve more in her life. We dive into all of this in today's episode and we are so grateful that you are decided to tune in and support the show.

How do you begin to describe a podcast with a woman who not only help put triathlon on the map, but who has inspired so many people within the sport, and many swim, bike, run civilians as well. Julie Moss was not only one of the first women I heard about when I started to fall in love with triathlon (hit pause and watch this clip now if you haven't already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVKqFAPdjIA), but she was also the first person I heard interviewed on a podcast. So to have the opportunity to sit down with Julie and be the one interviewing her felt like things had come full circle. Whoever you are, whatever you're up to, I guarantee you'll be inspired by Julie and her stories - of which there are many. Crawl on my friends!
