The B Practice podcast returns! There was a lot of racing the past six weeks or so. Our main man Dak was busy globetrotting and facilitating one hell of a comeback. So we can't be too upset about his lack of availability. Thankfully, we sat down this week to chat about some DH racing and were joined by special guest Dante Silva. We kept the conversation laid-back per usual, breaking down the unpredictable track from Lake Placid, how Dante and Dak's weekends went, what winning the U.S. Open for the third time meant to Dak, Dante's switch from racing World Cups to being a US-only racer this season, and plenty of other topics. We hope you enjoy this episode, and thanks as always for tuning in!

However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support.

So I've been funding it myself, along with the support of our wonderful Patreons. If this show means something to you, and you want to help me keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That's less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference.

But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. Alright, it's the final round of the year and we're headed to the iconic Mont-Sainte-Anne.

In the second episode from race week in Nice, host Matt Lieto connects with another trio of top contenders for the IRONMAN World Championship title: Sam Laidlow, Marten van Riel, and Matthew Matthew MarquardtFirst, defending Nice champion Sam Laidlow reflects on a challenging year that started with a reactivation of the Epstein-Barr virus. He explains how the forced rest shifted his perspective from chasing numbers to focusing on quality, health, and a more holistic preparation. This new approach led to breakthrough performances on surprisingly low training volume, giving him a newfound "inner peace and confidence" as he looks to defend his title on French soil.Next, Marten van Riel opens up about his turbulent and "panicky" build-up to his first full-distance World Championship, which included a significant ankle injury that limited him to a four-week run block and a minor crash on the course just days before the race. Despite the setbacks, the Belgian Olympian discusses the freedom that comes from lowered expectations and his excitement to race on a course he feels is perfectly suited to his strengths.Finally, American Matthew Marquardt details his season of two halves, from frustrating early-season results to dominant victories at IRONMAN Cairns and Lake Placid. The medical student gives a fascinating deep-dive into the physiological cause of the quad spasms that have affected him in T1 and explains the strategic evolution in his racing—learning to conserve energy on the bike to unleash his now formidable run, which he believes is the key to competing with the best in the world.

This week's creature feature takes us to Maine, where there's something sinister lurking in the serene waters of Lake Placid. Directed by Steve Miner and starring a stacked cast featuring Bill Pullman (handsome king), Brendan Gleeson, and a foul mouthed Betty White (RIP). This was a horror film we both loved in the 90s, and we're chomping at the bit to get our jaws around this monster movie, but the question remains, does it hold up? Is Lake Placid the greatest crocodile movie of all time, or is it looking more like Lake Flaccid as we discuss the fun, the flawed, and the scaled and clawed in this childhood piece of 90s nostalgia. Please remember to hit that subscribe button and leave us a lovely review. There's new episodes every week, and we cover the newest horror releases, underrated gems, and genre classics.

What does it take to bring out the best in a group of individuals and transform them into something greater than the sum of their parts? In this episode of our school-related movie review series, we dive into Miracle (2004), the powerful retelling of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team's unbelievable upset over the Soviet Union. It's a story of vision, discipline, belief, and building a culture of excellence—all themes that deeply resonate in the world of education today. Joining us for this conversation is Bryan Benway, someone who brings a unique and dynamic perspective to the table. Bryan grew up near Lake Placid, the very town where this historic miracle on ice took place. He spent years as a hockey broadcaster in the Central Hockey League and now serves as Director of Marketing at Bartlett Cocke General Contractors—one of the most respected education-focused construction firms in Texas. But before transitioning into construction, Bryan spent several impactful years in public education as the Director of Communications for Boerne ISD, where his leadership earned the district nearly 50 statewide awards. With a career that has spanned storytelling, school communications, sports broadcasting, and educational construction, Bryan is the perfect guest to help us explore the parallels between Miracle and the everyday work of school leaders and educators. From coaching a team to believe in themselves, to navigating doubt, adversity, and pressure with resilience—Miracle is more than just a sports film. It's a reflection of what great educational leadership looks like: setting a clear vision, building trust, and pushing students and teams to achieve more than they ever thought possible.   Takeaways: Coach Herb Brooks wasn't looking for the best players—he was looking for the right ones. In schools, it's not always about the top-performing individuals, but about how the team works together to support every student. Brooks had a bold and unconventional vision, and he never wavered from it. Strong educational leaders similarly need to set a clear direction, especially when leading change or overcoming obstacles. The infamous “Again!” scene shows how accountability and pushing through discomfort can prepare teams for real-world pressure. In classrooms and school systems, structure and consistent expectations help students and staff thrive. Brooks told his players, “Great moments are born from great opportunity.” Educators create those moments every day—when they believe in students, when they champion a struggling learner, or when they stand up for what's right. The miracle happened in Lake Placid—a town with deep personal roots for our guest, Bryan Benway. It's a reminder that the spaces we create (in schools, stadiums, or communities) can hold meaning and inspire greatness when people feel connected to them.   About Bryan Benway: Bryan Benway brings nearly 20 years of award-winning experience in communications to his role as Director of Marketing at Bartlett Cocke General Contractors.

This week, we revisit one of the most politically charged (and frequently forgotten) Olympic Games - the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow - with sports historian/author Tommy Phillips ("The 1980 Moscow Olympics: A Day-by-Day History"). While a much-debated US-led boycott - sparked by the Soviet Union's brazen invasion of Afghanistan in late 1979 - kept dozens of countries away and fundamentally reshaped the competition, Phillips takes us on the inside to discuss what actually happened once the torch was lit and the athletes took to competition. We explore standout performances from Soviet gymnasts, doping-aided East German swimmers, a rogue Austrian equestrian dressage competitor, Great Britain's dueling track duo (Sebastian Coe & Steve Ovett) - and lesser-known athletes from around the globe who seized their moment in the absence of many Western rivals. Phillips also walks us through controversies and logistical missteps that plagued the Games, including judging disputes, wind-aided performances and technical problems, all unfolding within the sleek but tightly controlled confines of the Soviet-run Olympic venues. Along the way, Phillips shares some of the stranger, more human stories that emerged from his deep dive into archival material. Among them: a massive food fight in the Olympic Village kitchen, pirate TV signals illegally rebroadcasting the Games to viewers in Florida, and the arrest of Rollen Stewart - the eccentric, rainbow-wig-wearing “John 3:16” superfan—who managed to insert himself into the tightly guarded Soviet spectacle. These moments reveal a side of the Games that didn't make headlines but speak volumes about the surreal atmosphere surrounding them. PLUS: Our salute to late jazz flugelhorn master Chuck Mangione - and his ABC Sports-commissioned theme for the 1980 Winter Olympic Games earlier that year in Lake Placid, NY!   + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/good-seats-still-avalable?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):   "The 1980 Moscow Olympics: A Day-by-Day History": https://amzn.to/4olbM7A   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):   Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats   Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2  Old Fort Baseball Co.

Anyone in pursuit of a big goal or in the middle of a long training cycle needs to listen to this episode. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin, four women who are halfway to achieving their goal—including a half-marathon in every state or running all the World Marathon Majors—share: -how they dreamed up their goal; -their approach to ticking off milestones along the way; -the joys and stand-out memories from their pursuits; -how they maintain their motivation; and, -how they see themselves reaching the “finish line.”  Instead of intro chitchat, co-host Amanda acts as a guest, telling tales of summitting 24 of the Adirondack's 46 highest peaks.

Should you train differently for Ironman Wisconsin and Lake Placid than you do for Florida or California? The answer is, yes. Today we talk about the differences in swim, bike, and run training for different courses. We talk about the the grime and grind of tougher swims and rides vs. downstream swims and flatter bikes. They all have their challenges and we get into upper body strength, riding hills, staying in aero, more or less swim training, and how it all affects your run. We also talk about how you can train more specifically to meet the demands of your race, no matter what it is. Lower back sore on the bike? Neck hurt after the swim? Should you ride more big gear or high cadence? It's all in today's episode. Support the podcast and get some awesome C26 gear in the process at our store!  Topics: More on the Wisconsin course Hoodie and shorts weather What's the best course for you? Sturdy body training Building durability Long and grinding Z2 rides What are you willing to train the most at? Upper body focus Average power vs. Normalized power Energy spent navigating people around you on the swim and bike Signing more and how it takes energy Why is your lower back sore? Pull Buoy and Paddles Fatigued arms and how that affects bike RPE Hit hills hard Big gear climbing Extra riding to train your saddle Smoothing out your gearing Training for the specific race course Practice sighting in the pool Train to be in the wrong gear   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

Crocodiles. Not alligators but crocodiles. Mariska Hargitay. Let's head to the lake.

We take a realistic look into the unrealistic world of romantic comedies that we LOVE to hate. This Week -Lake Placid (1999)Starring: Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt, and Brendan Gleeson A wonderful movie where there's a real problem in this lake, but only if you go in it -- and science isn't really a thing that needs to be explained. We ask the tough questions this week…Why is everyone just exclaiming their weird quirks? Is that funny? Did you forget to pack the feminine napkins? What did Betty White confess to? And why didn't anyone care about it??????????And should we sue people for calling us 'ma'am'?

Daydreaming of registering for a marathon or in the thick of training? Wherever you fall on the marathon-spectrum (including “no way, no how!”), you'll enjoy this episode. Hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat talk to four “regular” runners about their debut marathon pursuits. They cover topics such as: -their marathon motivations; -the satisfaction of setting and striving toward a goal; -how the run/walk method makes 26.2 attainable; -the “delicious pain” that comes with covering the miles; and, -the mountain of laundry generated during training! Before the first marathoner joins around 10:38, the hosts share about their first marathons—and Chicagoland's “garbage hills!” Register for our Lake Placid retreat.  When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
