Plenty to cover from T100 London, starting with Hayden Wilde's incredible win less than 100 days after a horrific bike crash and Lucy Charles-Barclay's brilliant performance that makes her a clear contender for the Ironman World Championships in Kona this October. We break down both the men's and women's races, with the women's race standing out as one of the best T100 events we have seen. Away from London, Alex Yee smashed a 5km road race, setting up an epic showdown the next time he races Hayden. We then preview Ironman Kalmar, where Chelsea Sodaro and Nikki Bartlett headline the women's race, and Ironman Copenhagen, which sees Joe Skipper going head-to-head with Rasmus Svenningson in what promises to be an exciting battle.

How many times have we heard that weight loss and maintenance is simply “calories in, calories out?” Well, the equation may be rooted in thermodynamics, but the reality is biology, history, hormones, and a whole lot more. This week, endocrinologist and Harvard obesity researcher Dr. Jody Dushay breaks down why this concept is far more complex than the numbers on a food label or how many calories our devices tell us we've burned. From how your body actually absorbs calories to how (or not) it expends them, we explore how and why weight gain and loss anything but straightforward—especially during menopause, when shifting body composition, gut microbiome changes, altered insulin responses, and evolving hormone levels, create a whole new metabolic landscape. As you'll see, your body isn't a calculator—it's a dynamic, adapting system. We also revisit GLP-1 drugs, which are increasingly popular with midlife women, and where they fit in this whole equation (so to speak). Jody Dushay, MD, MMSc, is an endocrinologist at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. She is also the founder and director of Well Powered, a comprehensive wellness and weight management program. Dr Dushay has studied the effect of pharmacotherapies and dietary interventions on body weight for years, including a large single-site study examining the effects of a glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist on body weight in obese women without diabetes. As a triathlete, she has qualified for Kona 3 times and came in 2nd in her age group at the 2020 Ironman World Championship in St George.

This week, the Unnamed Automotive Podcast jams out with some subcompact crossovers. The show starts with Sami's review of the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric, a perfectly fine EV that is a bit overshadowed by its market. With the competition offering better value, Sami and Benjamin argue that a used Hyundai Kona Electric is the smart choice for EV shoppers on a tight budget. Then the guys turn their focus to the 2026 Honda HR-V. Using Sami's previous experience as background information on his tester, Benjamin starts off thinking the Honda subcompact is pretty solid, but after spending more time with it, he wonders if there's a worse choice in the segment. Thanks for listening!
We are back with another big week in triathlon. Jan Frodeno is lining up for UTMB and we talk about what that means for his post-triathlon career. The T100 London start list is stacked with names like Hayden Wilde, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Lucy Charles-Barclay and Jelle Geens. We break down the field and who we think could take the win. The 2028 WTCS Grand Final has been awarded to New Zealand and we talk about what this means for the sport. There is big news from the PTO with confirmation of a 40 million investment and we discuss how that could shape the future of triathlon. Next weekend Ironman Kalmar features Chelsea Sodaro and Nikki Bartlett while over in Copenhagen Joe Skipper and Emil Holm headline the men's race.

We're back with a packed week in triathlon. Challenge Roth's release of Race Ranger data gave us plenty to dive into. We break down who spent the most time drafting, where the tech worked (and didn't), and what it might mean for the future of racing. Sam Laidlow returned to long course racing at Ironman Leeds with an incredible win, achieved off just 11 hours of training a week as he continues to bounce back from recent health struggles. Supertri Toronto brought fireworks. Alex Yee made his long-awaited return to triathlon, Georgia Taylor-Brown was back in the mix, and Cassandre Beaugrand looked set for the win until a lap miscount cost her the race. Then it's all eyes on the T100 French Riviera start lists with some serious names confirmed including Marten Van Riel, Jelle Geens, Lucy Charles-Barclay and Jessica Learmonth.

Born without tibias in both legs and undergoing a double amputation before the age of 2, Roderick's journey is a masterclass in resilience, grit, and the power of mindset.He shares how his mother Marian and him navigated homelessness while fighting for access to the prosthetics he needed.

In this week's episode of America on the Road, Jack Nerad and Chris Teague each test drive fascinating small cars — the 2025 Volvo EX30 and the 2025 Hyundai Kona. Depending upon how you look at it, each one could be considered a big bargain … or a disappointment. We'll tell you our opinions and break down the biggest auto industry news of the week. Let's dive into what's on tap: Road Test 1: 2025 Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra Host Jack Nerad puts the 2025 Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra to the test, a compact electric SUV that delivers sports-car acceleration—0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds—while wrapped in sleek, minimalist design. Its dual-motor AWD setup generates 422 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, with up to 253 miles of range. Tech takes center stage inside with a single 12.3-inch touchscreen that controls everything—no gauge cluster or physical buttons in sight. While fast and feature-rich, Jack notes the interface can feel unintuitive, and the lack of tactile controls may frustrate some drivers. Sustainable materials, 5G connectivity, Google Built-in, and standard driver-assist features give it a modern edge. However, with final assembly and sourcing in China, the EX30 won't qualify for U.S. EV tax credits. It's a compelling, tech-forward EV for early adopters, but traditionalists may find it too digitally driven for daily use. Road Test 2: 2025 Hyundai Kona Chris Teague reviews the redesigned 2025 Hyundai Kona, now larger, smarter, and more refined than ever. The new model rides on an updated platform that improves ride quality, interior space, and driving dynamics. Its bold exterior features futuristic light bars and sharper lines, while the interior offers dual 12.3-inch displays, upgraded materials, and improved tech across trims. Powertrain options include a 2.0L base engine and a punchier 1.6-liter turbo, both delivering solid fuel economy. Chris highlights the Kona's strong value, easy drivability, and appeal to urban drivers and small families. Wireless smartphone connectivity and over-the-air update capability enhance its appeal. Downsides include some budget interior materials and AWD availability limited to certain trims. Overall, the 2025 Kona blends style, practicality, and features in a way that makes it one of the top choices in the subcompact SUV segment. Guest Interview: Jonny Grunwald, Pennzoil Spokesperson & Custom Car Builder This week's guest is Jonny Grunwald, a Pennzoil ambassador and respected automotive builder with a deep love for performance tuning and wrenching on machines. Jack and Chris talk with him about his path in the industry, his latest projects, and what he sees ahead for car enthusiasts and garage tinkerers alike. Industry News Roundup: Tesla Turmoil: Executives Exit Amid Falling Sales Tesla is in disarray as a string of high-profile executives has exited, including North American sales chief Troy Jones and key figures close to Elon Musk. With deliveries dropping and Musk's political foray stirring backlash, the company's direction—and stability—are being questioned. Stellantis Abandons Hydrogen Bet Stellantis is walking away from Symbio, its hydrogen fuel cell venture, just two years after buying in. Despite hydrogen's long-haul benefits, Stellantis is redirecting funds toward battery-electric vehicles, leaving Symbio's future in limbo. GM Flips Orion Plant from EVs to Gas Trucks In a surprising pivot, GM will convert its Orion Assembly plant from EV production to building gas-powered pickups like the Escalade, Silverado, and Sierra by 2027. Citing sluggish EV demand, the automaker is leaning back into its internal-combustion cash cows while maintaining battery module production on-site. Made in America Tour Update Jack shares the latest from the “Made in America” tour, highlighting domestic manufacturing, American-made vehicles, and other American-made items, including rock'n'roll, baseball, and football.
This week we try to unpack the developing World Triathlon corruption story and why, sadly, it doesn't come as much of a surprise. We look at what's been reported so far, how the sport's leadership ended up here, and what it could mean going forward. We also react to the retirement announcement from Anne Haug and reflect on the incredible career of one of triathlon's most consistent performers. In race news, we look ahead to T100 London with some big names on the start list including Georgia Taylor-Brown and possibly Hayden Wilde if he's recovered from injury. Then it's over to Ironman Lake Placid where Matthew Marquardt and Solveig Løvseth claimed dominant wins, and we wrap up with what's coming next for Supertri as their 2025 season kicks off.

In this episode of Find Your Finish Line, I sit down with the remarkable Melanie McQuaid, three-time XTERRA World Champion and the oldest professional to qualify for Kona at age 50. Melanie's story is nothing short of inspiring. From her beginnings as a professional cyclist navigating a tough and, at times, toxic environment, to becoming a dominant force in triathlon, Melanie has consistently broken barriers and redefined what's possible. We talk about the highs and lows of her athletic journey, how she transitioned into triathlon, and the deep sense of community she found along the way. Melanie shares powerful insights into her coaching philosophy at MelRad Coaching and how she helps athletes of all ages train smarter, race better, and believe in themselves more deeply. She even clocked her fastest IRONMAN marathon at age 50, proving that age really is just a number. If you're an age-group athlete looking for motivation or just someone who loves a good comeback story, this conversation will fire you up. Melanie's wisdom, grit, and love for the sport shine through every word. Learn more at: melrad.com

Coach, I'm getting ready for my full distance IRONMAN this Fall. What do you think about me doing a full marathon as a build up to the IRONMAN? That's awesome—you're gearing up for one of the most demanding endurance events out there! Preparing for a full-distance IRONMAN (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) requires a smart balance of volume, intensity, and recovery. Your question about whether a full marathon is necessary or ideal is a great one, and it really depends on your goals and current training status. Is a Full Marathon Necessary for IRONMAN Prep? While many athletes include a marathon in their build-up, it's not always the most effective or safest choice. Here's why: Pros of Running a Marathon Before IRONMAN: - Mental confidence boost from completing the distance. - Opportunity to test nutrition, pacing, and gear. - Simulates the fatigue and mental grind of the IRONMAN run. Cons: - High injury risk due to the pounding and recovery time required. - Doesn't replicate IRONMAN fatigue (you'll be running after 6–8 hours of swimming and biking). - Can disrupt your training cycle due to the taper and recovery needed. Viable Alternatives to a Marathon Here are some smart substitutes that can build endurance and race readiness without the downsides of a standalone marathon: 1. **Century Ride (100-mile bike)** - **Pros**: Low-impact, builds aerobic base, simulates IRONMAN bike leg. - **Use it for**: Nutrition testing, pacing, and mental endurance. - **Pair it with**: A short brick run (e.g., 6–10 miles) to simulate race fatigue. 2. **Long Swim Events (e.g., 5K–10K open water)** - **Pros**: Builds swim confidence, improves pacing and sighting. - **Use it for**: Practicing open water skills and wetsuit comfort. - **Pair it with**: A bike ride or short run for a swim-bike brick. 3. **Race Simulation Bricks** - **Example**: 80-mile bike + 13-mile run. - **Pros**: Mimics IRONMAN fatigue better than a standalone marathon. - **Use it for**: Testing gear, nutrition, and pacing under fatigue. 4. **Back-to-Back Long Runs** - **Example**: 12 miles Saturday + 10 miles Sunday. - **Pros**: Builds run durability with less injury risk than a marathon. - **Use it for**: Building cumulative fatigue without a single long effort. Coach's Summary Recommendation Unless you're chasing a marathon PR or need the mental boost, **skip the standalone marathon**. Instead, focus on **race-specific brick workouts**, **long rides**, and **progressive long runs**. These will better prepare you for the unique demands of IRONMAN day.

TriDot Workout of the Week: Bike-Run Bricks Today's workout is Bike-Run Bricks. Session Note This session is best done on a trainer. Stage your shoes, fuel, and hydration close by so that you're able to quickly transition from bike to run. If you leave your shoes clipped onto your pedals for races, then do so here too. Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 2 x 4 min Bike* / 3 min Run** (3 min) *Bike - First 1 min establish rhythm and getting feet in shoes. / Ride @ race pace in race position and 90+ rpms. / Final 1 min prep for run. Shift to one gear easier. Stretch back and calves. **Run - First 1 min find form and rhythm. Do NOT exceed race pace. / Run @ race pace. / Final 1 min build to FAST finish pace. Visualize finish chute! Hydrate during recovery between brick sets. Balance of time in Zone 2. Fun Segment: IRONMAN or IRONmad? Alright, we covered a great question in our Ask A Coach segment—should you run a full marathon during your IRONMAN build? That got me thinking about all the wild decisions athletes make leading up to race day. So welcome to a new segment I'm calling Ironman or Ironmad? Here's how it works: I'll throw out some scenarios—real ones we've seen or heard—and we'll give our take. Are they solid strategies… or are we veering into madness? Scenario 1: “You decide to do a heat adaptation block for your IRONMAN—by sitting in a dry sauna in a full bike kit every day for a week.” Scenario 2: “You ride your longest bike session—112 miles—indoors on the trainer because you want to control nutrition, effort, and minimize interruptions.” Scenario 3: “You sign up for a local sprint tri just to ‘shake off the rust'… but end up racing it full throttle two weeks out from your IRONMAN.” Scenario 4: “You tape motivational quotes inside your helmet, on your bike stem, and under your water bottle to read mid-race.” Scenario 5: “You fly to your race 48 hours before the gun goes off, figuring you'll ‘sleep on the plane' and save money on hotel nights.” Bonus Scenario! Scenario 6: “You wear your brand-new race kit, race shoes, and nutrition mix for the very first time… on race day.” Race day success isn't about doing more—it's about doing what matters. So when you're making decisions in your IRONMAN prep, ask yourself: Is this building toward the race… or just feeding my ego? And if you've got a questionable training story or race-week decision you want to share, send it our way. We might feature it in the next Ironman or Ironmad? Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

Ever thought that training in sweltering heat could actually be your secret weapon as an endurance athlete? Coach Patrick shares his journey from the scorching Ironman races in Hawaii to uncover how heat training can lead to significant performance boosts. Having spent nearly two decades working with athletes, he reveals the powerful benefits of heat training, from enhancing blood volume to improving oxygen capacity. Coach Patrick also delivers a personal story about how arriving early for a race in Kona, to acclimate properly, made a huge difference in his performance—despite not being at his peak fitness. Join us for a lively discussion on turning the summer heat into a training partner instead of an obstacle. Coach Patrick offers practical strategies for maintaining fitness during the busiest months of the year, suggesting shorter, heat-focused workouts as an effective way to prepare for races. Forget about long, draining sessions under the sun—Coach Patrick's insights are all about working smarter, not harder, by using the heat to your advantage. Whether you're an elite athlete or just starting out, this episode is packed with tips to transform your summer training regimen.

When the road tilts upward, smart gearing can make or break your climb. Whether you're grinding up a 5% incline or crawling up a brutal 15%, choosing the right gear ratio is key to maintaining an efficient cadence—ideally around 80 RPM. Here's a breakdown of ideal gear inches and recommended chainring/cassette combinations for gradients from 5% to 15%. Gear Inches Table | BikeCalc Takeaway Tips: Lower gear inches help maintain cadence on steeper grades. A compact crankset (e.g., 34/50T) paired with a wide-range cassette (up to 31T or 32T) gives you the flexibility to tackle tough climbs. For gradients above 12%, consider a granny gear setup or even a 1x drivetrain with a wide-range cassette. Get Gritty Tip: The Four Agreements Get Gritty Tip: Master Your Mindset with The Four Agreements This week, let's talk about The Four Agreements—a powerful framework for living with intention, resilience, and clarity. These four simple principles can help us break free from limiting beliefs and live with more purpose in both triathlon and life. 1. Be Impeccable with Your Word. Your words create your reality. In triathlon, this means speaking positively to yourself and others. When you talk about your abilities, your goals, and your progress, choose words that empower and uplift. If you say, “I can do this,” you're setting yourself up for success. But if you tell yourself “I'll never get faster” or “This is too hard,” you're building mental barriers. Choose words that propel you forward. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally. People's opinions and reactions are a reflection of them, not you. In triathlon, you'll face challenges, setbacks, and criticism, whether it's a tough race, a hard workout, or someone questioning your pace. But remember: It's not about you. Their words and actions are influenced by their own journey. Instead of letting it derail you, stay focused on your own path, goals, and growth. 3. Don't Make Assumptions. We often create stories in our minds about what others think of us or what we think is happening in a race or workout. But assumptions only hold us back. Instead, ask questions, seek clarity, and stay open-minded. Don't assume you know the outcome of a race or a workout before you even begin. Focus on the process, not the assumptions. 4. Always Do Your Best. This one's simple but powerful: give everything you have in each moment. Whether it's an interval, a long ride, or an intense swim, always give your best effort. And remember, your best changes from day to day. Some days you'll have more energy, and some days will feel like a struggle. But as long as you show up and give your best, you are making progress. Action Item: Apply The Four Agreements to your training this week. Focus on the words you use, let go of external opinions, stay clear of assumptions, and always do your best. This simple mindset shift will help you approach both your triathlon journey and life with more clarity, resilience, and grit. TriDot Workout of the Week: Functional Threshold Power Today's workout is a Functional Threshold Test (20-minute) Session Note Conducting time trial (TT): Goal is to hold pace you can sustain for the entire TT without blowing up early or having enough left to kick at the end. 10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 20 min - all out maximal effort Be sure to enter/confirm your assessment results to update your training intensities and race projections.

Which three mountain passes are included in the full Triple Bypass route? A) Juniper, Loveland, Vail B) Independence, Kenosha, Red Mountain C) Monarch, Cottonwood, Hoosier Answer: A) Juniper, Loveland, Vail — These iconic Colorado climbs define the course. True or False: The event is a competitive race with official timing and podiums. Answer: False — The Triple Bypass is a non-competitive, fully supported challenge ride focused on endurance, experience, and personal accomplishment. Roughly how much has the event donated to charity since its inception? A) $500,000 B) $3.5 million C) $10 million Answer: B) $3.5 million — Over the decades, the ride (organized by Team Evergreen Cycling) has contributed millions to nonprofits.

What would you do if your greatest challenge became your greatest calling? For brothers Kyle and Brent Pease, the answer is racing—together. But what they've built goes far beyond the finish line. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kyle and Brent Pease, co-founders of the Kyle Pease Foundation and Ironman finishers many times over, to talk about what it means to redefine possibility. What began as one race turned into a mission: to make endurance sports more inclusive, and to empower people with disabilities to find their own version of greatness. We dive into the early moments that sparked their journey, how they've now completed 150+ races together, and how their work through the foundation is transforming lives—not just through sport, but through employment, leadership, and connection. Kyle opens up about the physical toll of racing 16-hour days from a wheelchair, while Brent shares the emotional impact of being pushed—literally and figuratively—by his brother's unwavering drive. We talk about their unforgettable races at Kona and Boston, the birth of their inclusive employment program, and the moving story of how “five more feet” kept them going when everything inside told them to stop. At the heart of their message is a simple but transformative belief: endurance creates resilience, and everyone deserves to feel the power of crossing their own finish line. Meet Our Guests: Kyle & Brent Pease Brent and Kyle Pease are brothers, elite endurance athletes, and co-founders of The Kyle Pease Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting inclusion for individuals with disabilities in both sports and the workforce. Their story gained global recognition when they became the first push-assist brother team to complete the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Since then, they've competed in over 150 races together, becoming a symbol of what's possible when determination and brotherhood collide. Kyle, born with cerebral palsy, has shattered limitations and expectations. With a degree in Sports Management from Kennesaw State University, he not only races with Brent but also works part-time at Publix and Atlanta Braves games, spreading his message of resilience and inclusion. Through the Foundation, Kyle plays a key role in initiatives like adaptive sports equipment, inclusive employment, and scholarships, empowering others with disabilities to chase their goals. Brent, a Florida State University graduate and seasoned endurance coach, serves as the Foundation's Executive Director. His leadership has fueled programs like the Inclusive Employment Program, which helps individuals with disabilities secure meaningful work. Brent's athletic achievements, combined with his passion for advocacy, have helped raise over $10 million for the cause. Together, the Pease brothers continue to inspire through their racing, public speaking, and book, Beyond the Finish, which tells the story of their journey, their mission, and the power of relentless determination. What You'll Learn in this Episode: How a single question sparked a life-changing partnership What it takes to complete an Ironman as a team when a wheelchair is involved, why inclusion in sport must go beyond labels and accommodations The moment Kyle realized his story could empower others How the Kyle Pease Foundation is creating jobs, purpose, and possibility The surprising power of “just five more feet” Why your struggles are not in the way—they are the way How real leadership is about showing up—for yourself and for others What Kona and Boston taught them about grace, grit, and growth Resources & Links Kyle & Brent Pease Book: Beyond the Finish: A Story of Passion, Brotherhood and Relentless Determination Get a signed copy: Order through their site to receive Kyle's signature!

This week I'm joined by swim coach and author Paul Eaglestone, whose new book Freespeed offers a simple but powerful approach to improving front crawl technique — especially for triathletes. Paul shares insights from a lifetime in swimming, including his early coaching work with Olympic triathlon champion Alex Yee, and why he believes most triathletes can find "free speed" in the water through better technique, not harder work. From hydrodynamics and stroke mechanics to the role of kicking, turns, and even dryland training, this conversation is packed with practical advice for swimmers of all abilities — whether you're tackling your first sprint triathlon or chasing a Kona slot. What You'll Learn: Why Paul prioritises efficiency over intensity — especially for triathletes How he helped Alex Yee become a smooth and confident swimmer The importance of stroke count as a metric for swim progress What triathletes can learn from elite swim training — and what they should ignore Why drills, kicking, and even tumble turns matter for open water performance How to use "target pace" training for real, measurable swim improvements Paul's take on mobility, strength training, and the ideal swim training mix Open water training tips: how much is enough and what to practise Grab the Book: Freespeed by Paul Eaglestone – available now Connect with Paul: Find Paul on social media or Zwift.

Despite our best effort to resist, today we look at what the new Kona Qualifying System could mean for you! BUT, we also look at if it may give Ironman events a boost. Or . . . are there other things they can/should do to revitalize interest in their main brand, Full Ironman events. What would it take? Will they announce something new? How are they doing with getting new people in the sport? We have been on the ground at these Ironman events for a long ass time and have some thoughts about why people get involved in racing. Topics: The fireworks over the Kona Qualifying system Why was the new IM CEO at Roth? Kona Should be hard to get into Nothing is perfect Will THIS finally make everyone happy??!! Probably not. How one WC is better for general interest Ironman shit on who they are Field vs. Years before in your age group? Making races spectacles New IM on the way?? Sticking to your guns The deep interest in Mass Starts from athlete to fan to new beginnings New IM CEO seems to be going back to the roots Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
Special guest joins to debrief the legendary Western States Endurance Run one week after the 100.2 mile traverse of California's Sierras. After several years in person at the event, we draw on our experiences and observations to comment on some notable elements. As the "Kona" of ultra running, it only seemed appropriate to juxtapose Western States with the Ironman World Champs.
After another massive weekend in triathlon and with Tim in Europe, James is joined by Andy Horsfall-Turner. We kick things off with the big news that Maya Kingma is turning pro in cycling. We talk about what this move means, how it could shape her career, and why it's an exciting step for one of the sport's top talents. We dive into the T100 shakeup with the surprise cancellation of the Las Vegas event and the addition of Wollongong, and what it means for the series and the athletes. There's a full review of Ironman Frankfurt, where Kristian Blummenfelt took an impressive win. We also discuss the questionable officiating that impacted Kristian Høgenhaug, Jonas Schomburg, and Magnus Ditlev, plus Gustav Iden taking another key step toward his best form. We recap 70.3 Nice and preview this weekend's Challenge Roth, where Sam Laidlow, Laura Phillip, Grace Thek, Joe Skipper, Vincent Luis, and Henri Schoeman are set to battle it out. We wrap things up with a quick look ahead to 70.3 Swansea as the triathlon calendar keeps rolling.

IRONMAN has updated its age group qualifying process for both the IRONMAN and 70.3 World Championship events from 2026 onwards, and there is much to unpack and understand. As the #1 ranked coaching service in Kona 2024 we try to explain how it all works and even simulate some recent races to better explain how it would look. Why? ‘Based on athlete feedback and our own due diligence, we believe the new approach is even more consistent with our principle that the most competitive athletes are recognized and rewarded with qualifying slots. In the prior system, qualifying slots rolled down within gender and age group, and the number of slots allocated to each gender and age group was based on how many people were racing within that gender and age group. In some cases, highly competitive athletes were unable to earn a slot because their age group or gender was under-represented in a race. In contrast, some athletes who were less competitive relative to their age group would earn a slot because their age group was over-represented and thus had more slots allocated to it. In the new system, we rank athletes based on their relative performance (vs. their age-group), and irrespective of age or gender, the most competitive athletes on race day receive qualifying slots until all available slots for that race are claimed.'

We all know veterans who have battled the transition from military service to civilian life. Nick Koumalatsos was a Marine raider who can certainly speak to that. After discharging from the military after 12 years of service, he battled that adjustment, going through divorce, bankruptcy, and even serious thoughts of suicide. It took him many years to figure out a formula that would work for him to pull himself out of these abysses. But throughout his life, Nick had always been seeking an angle to move up in the world. This led him to start his first business, and he's now run multiple businesses. The one that gets him most fired up is Johnny Slicks, which makes organic personal grooming products right here in the USA. Nick describes how they have created a strong family-like company atmosphere as they do all production and distribution in-house instead of farming these aspects out. He has also founded Core Medical Group, whose differentiator is providing personal care and service for men who need to determine whether they should explore testosterone replacement therapy. He's also created a transformative coaching group called Agoge that currently includes men from ages 17 to 74. It's a very hands-on community to help men overcome challenges. The lessons include Mastering Yourself, Leading Your Family, Mastering Your Finances where Nick shares what the wealthy don't tell the rest of us about, and Leaders Creating More Leaders – creating your own legacy. He has put a tremendous number of resources and lessons on his website, nickkoumalatsos.com including a free course well worth checking out. Related to this, Nick is leading a retreat in Kona in October for those who feel stuck in life or having a lot of stops and starts that prevent them from making progress. If that's all not enough, he's helping add his Marine experience to the production of the upcoming Punisher movie. You'll be able to feel Nick's abundant energy in this chat and learn a lot about how you can take control of your own inaction and/or overcome serious challenges like Nick did to create a fulfilling life helping others in myriad ways.Nick Koumalatsosnickkoumalatsos.cominfo@nickkoumalatsos.comInstagram and Threads @nickkoumalatsosFacebook Nick KoumalatsosBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease support Team Leadville and Warriors' Ascent help prevent veteran suicide!

This week on In The Vet’s Office, Dr. Josie Horchak steps out of the clinic and into the home of Lauren Akins—author, philanthropist, and wife of country star Thomas Rhett—for a heartwarming conversation about life with kids and animals. Lauren opens up about juggling motherhood with four little ones, two dogs (Kona and Cash), barn cats, and a spirited mustang. Lauren shares how her dog Cash became her constant companion during pregnancy—and how a freak accident with a pumpkin stem nearly cost him his life. She also reflects on her journey into horse ownership, including the injury that came with it, and the lasting impact a traumatic dog park incident had on her pup Kona. It’s a touching, candid episode filled with stories about the unbreakable bond between animals and their humans—and the wild things that happen when you open your heart (and home) to a full house of furry friends.
