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.

#499 Climb Part 2 - A Game of Gear Inches Welcome to Episode #499 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde.

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.     Fun Segment: Triple Bypass Trivia! It's time to shift gears and test your mountain mettle with the Triple Bypass Trivia Showdown! Whether you've tackled this legendary Colorado ride or it's still on your bucket list, these questions will challenge your knowledge of one of the most iconic endurance events in the U.S. Grab your water bottle, clip in, and let's find out if you're a seasoned alpine expert—or just coasting! When did the first Triple Bypass ride take place? A) 1978 B) 1988 C) 1998 Answer: B) 1988 — One July day in 1988, a group of avid cyclists decided that it would be fun and challenging to ride from Evergreen to the Vail Valley, Colorado. And so it was. Thirty-seven years later and thousands of more friends beside them, the Triple Bypass is an epic bucket-list ride.   True or False: The full Triple Bypass covers approximately 118 miles with over 10,000 feet of climbing. Answer: True — The classic route takes cyclists over three mountain passes and gains roughly 10,800–10,000 feet in elevation. But what about the Double Bypass?  Answer: A good entry ride, The Double Bypass covers 801 miles and gains 6,500 feet of elevation over two mountain passes: Loveland and Vail. The Double Bypass start location for 2025 is in Empire.  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.   Boulder Peak Close The first Boulder Peak Triathlon was held in 1992. It quickly became one of Colorado's most iconic triathlons, known for its challenging course, especially the infamous Olde Stage Road climb. Over the years, it has attracted both elite and amateur athletes and has been a staple of the summer triathlon season in Boulder. Would you like a timeline of its notable milestones or how the course has evolved over the years?   Here's a **timeline of notable milestones** in the history of the **Boulder Peak Triathlon**, one of Colorado's most iconic endurance events: Boulder Peak Triathlon Timeline   - **1992****Inaugural Race**   - Founded by Paul Karlsson and David Jensen.   - Featured the now-famous **Olde Stage Road** climb.   - Attracted top pros like Dave Scott and Mark Allen in its first year.   - 400 participants and a $500 prize purse.   - **1996****Pro Women's Head Start Introduced**   - Suggested by Paula Newby-Fraser to increase spectator excitement.   - Created a dramatic “chase” dynamic between men and women.   - **Early 2000s****Ironman World Championship Qualifier**   - Boulder Peak briefly served as a qualifier for Kona, elevating its prestige.   - **2004****Ownership Change**   - Sold to **5430 Sports**, run by Barry and Jodee Siff.   - Continued to grow in popularity and professionalism.   - **2009****Acquired by Life Time Fitness**   - Became part of the Life Time Triathlon Series.   - Integrated into a national network of high-profile triathlons.   - **2014****Returned to Local Ownership**   - Taken over by **Without Limits Productions**, led by Lance Panigutti.   - Renewed focus on community, athlete experience, and local flavor.   - **2017** **National Recognition**   - Named one of the **Top 15 Most Amazing Triathlons in the U.S.** by *The Culture Trip* [1](https://www.withoutlimits.co/boulder-peak-triathlon-duathlon).   - **2020****COVID-19 Cancellation**   - Like many races, the event was paused due to the pandemic.   - **2021–Present****Resurgence**   - Strong return with growing participation.   - Continues to be the **crown jewel of the Colorado Triathlon Series**.   Thanks again for listening this week.

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.' Do we like it?  Listen to find out. Join the Tribe www.koasports.com.au

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.

What does it take to go from consistent age-group triathlete to Ironman podium finisher and Kona qualifier? In this inspiring episode, Samantha Zeps shares how she’s levelled up her performance with smarter fuelling strategies, better recovery habits, and a fresh mindset around nutrition. From a 14-minute PB at Geelong 70.3 to winning her age group at Busselton Ironman, Sam opens up about the real changes that moved the needle — like ditching fasted training, nailing her carb loading, and fuelling properly to perform and parent.

This week we cover the latest in triathlon, starting with a pretty wild story... Oscar Pistorius was on the start list for 70.3 Durban. We break down how it happened, the reaction it sparked, and whether there's any place for him in the sport. Lionel Sanders is back and setting his sights on a big performance in Nice. We talk about his mindset shift and why we'd love to see him go all-in on 70.3 Worlds. Eagleman 70.3 delivered exciting racing, with Sam Long just getting the better of Trevor Foley and Lucy Charles-Barclay holding Chelsea Sodaro at bay from start to finish. We preview Ironman Cairns, where Brayden Currie, Mike Phillips and Jamie Riddle lead the men's field, and Jackie Herring and Hannah Berry are set for a great race on the women's side. There's also a quick look at what to expect from Ironman Austria. To wrap things up, we dive into the PTO Vancouver start lists. The women's race features Taylor Knibb and Lucy Charles-Barclay, with Maya Kingma possibly ready to shake things up. In the men's field, Marten Van Riel looks back to his best, Rico Bogen is riding high after San Francisco, and Jelle Geens adds even more depth.

Ele ingressou no triathlon graças ao incentivo do tio e, durante os primeiros 15 anos, dedicou-se às provas curtas. Sua estreia em uma prova de Ironman em 2009, foi motivada por um boato sobre a eventual mudança de local do Mundial de Kona e veio acompanhada do título de campeão amador do Ironman Brasil — o passaporte para sua primeira experiência no mundial naquele mesmo ano. No ano seguinte, com uma preparação minuciosa, conquistou o título de campeão da sua faixa etária e o vice-campeonato mundial amador no Havaí. Após uma breve incursão como profissional, encerrou sua carreira em 2016, com 12 participações em provas na distâncias de Ironman. A paixão pelo esporte seguiu viva — estudou a corrida no Quênia, subiu o Aconcágua, nadou a 14 Bis e voltou a competir em provas de triathlon a partir de 2019. Desde então, venceu, como amador, diversas etapas do Troféu Brasil e provas no interior paulista. No ano passado, participou da desafiadora Leadville 100 milhas. Meu outro convidado, nascido em Minas Gerais e criado em uma fazenda, destacou-se desde cedo pela disciplina. Formado em Administração pela FGV, construiu uma trajetória de sucesso no mercado financeiro. Iniciou na corrida em 2010, participou da Comrades Marathon apenas dois anos depois e soma 14 maratonas no currículo. Em 2014, estreou no triathlon e, desde então, participou de 22 provas de Ironman, incluindo sete edições do Mundial do Havaí. Neste episódio, dois triatletas de alta performance que compartilham o gosto pelo desafio, valorizam a disciplina ao extremo e escolheram dedicar-se incansavelmente ao esporte: o engenheiro e industrial lemense Ciro Violin, e o empresário e publisher paraisense, Pedro Luiz Cerize.

In this heart-forward episode of Fatherhood Field Notes, host Ned Schaut sits down with Hawaii-born real estate pro and former touring musician, Chris Stimac, to unpack the power of presence, partnership, and purpose in fatherhood. From the stage lights of Europe to the ocean tides of Kona, Chris opens up about choosing intentional family life over fame—and how that one choice redefined his success. Together, Ned and Chris explore how fatherhood calls men to show up, lead by example, and invite their kids into their world, not hide work from them. With wisdom rooted in real-life, this conversation hits on the joys of raising curious, adventurous kids, the sacred rhythm of communication with your spouse, and why letting your kids watch you work might be one of the most powerful things a dad can do. Whether you're balancing business, beach days, or bedtime stories, this episode will challenge and encourage you to lean all the way in.Links and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

Live(ish) from a remote Airbnb near Cambridge, Maryland, Lisa Becharas and Garrick Loewen dive into the chaos of travel mishaps, back-to-back racing, and what it takes to survive (and fund) the pro triathlon circuit. Lisa recaps her rough-but-rewarding T100 San Francisco experience, previews racing three weekends in a row, and the crew debates excessively early Kona predictions. Garrick shares his consistent finish in Brazil, monster training blocks, and goals for Eagleman 70.3. They debate: Why staying 40 minutes from a race might not be the worst call Whether Race Ranger is fixing draft dynamics or making things worse If Ironman is still king compared to T100's cash and coverage The insane 2:38 and 2:40 women's Ironman marathon times and what it means for the future And why some top pros just don't care about Kona With hot takes, tactical insights, and a few “pass or smash” moments (like using maple syrup as race fuel), it's a classic Real Triathlon Pod hangout.

This week we cover a huge few days in triathlon. Rico Bogen takes the win at T100 San Francisco, while Julie Derron puts together a brilliant performance to beat Taylor Knibb in the women's race. At Ironman Hamburg, Laura Philipp runs a stunning 2 hour 38 marathon to beat Kat Matthews and set a new Ironman world record. WTCS Alghero delivered high drama with Cassandre Beaugrand bouncing back from injury to take the win and Miguel Hidalgo navigating a chaotic race to come out on top. At Ironman Brasil, Manoel Messias impressed with a 2 hour 26 marathon. We also discuss the news that Will McCloy has officially joined the Ironman commentary team and reflect on what was, for the most part, a weekend of genuinely solid triathlon broadcasts.

Poslanci na konci května schválili takzvanou velkou novelu školského zákona a začátkem června ji začne projednávat senátní výbor. Novela přináší zhruba pět desítek změn, upozorňuje v pořadu Reparát Českého rozhlasu Kateřina Konrádová, analytička vzdělávací politiky v organizaci Učitel naživo. „Mezi nejvíce důležité a nejvíce pozitivní změny pro školy patří to, že v zákoně bude nově ukotveno financování školních psychologů, speciálních a sociálních pedagogů,“ říká.

Kate Waugh versus Taylor Knibb. Marten Van Riel versus Rico Bogen versus Kyle Smith. Laura Philipp versus Kat Matthews. Lucy Charles-Barclay versus Chelsea Sodaro. Lionel Sanders versus Sam Long. Cassandre Beaugrand versus the clock. Matt Hauser versus Vasco Vilaca. This week, we remember Jay Luke and Matías Opitz, two much-loved members of the triathlon community. We also unpack the viral Laidlow versus Yee headline, which turned out to be their younger brothers racing each other at the Outlaw Half. We preview this weekend's T100 San Francisco, break down the key storylines heading into Ironman Hamburg and Eagleman 70.3, and take a look at who's returning and who might dominate at WTCS Alghero.

Bianca Fernandez-Clark is a 7x Ironman finisher, Chair, and co-founder of Women in Tri UK, a charity on a mission to bring more women into triathlon and break down barriers in the sport. With no background in sport, Bianca laced up her trainers at age 29 to tackle a 10km as a way to manage her mental health. From there, she progressed to marathons and, in 2016, took on the challenge of learning to swim and cycle to complete her first triathlon. As a Black/mixed-race woman, Bianca has been vocal about the lack of diversity in triathlon, especially at long-distance events, and has worked to highlight the barriers faced by the Black community in accessing swimming.  In 2022, she co-founded Women in Tri UK, and the organisation has been growing ever since, working hard to make triathlon more inclusive and accessible for women everywhere. By day, Bianca works full-time in the financial sector, but every spare moment is dedicated to continuing her own triathlon journey and supporting the work of Women in Tri UK. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

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.
