Coach Kaysee Armstrong is back on the podcast, and now as the Women's Assistant Coach at Lees-McRae College. I have had the distinct privilege of working alongside Kaysee for the past year, and we discuss her transition from being a professional cyclist to collegiate coach to soon a mom. She shares a lot of thoughts and stories about how her belief system has helped her grow as a person, and how playing it safe within your comfort zone does not lead to growth. We dive deep into the mental and emotional side of our identities as people, and how the coach-athlete relationship requires trust and communication. I am hopeful you will appreciate this discussion and it will help you grow as a person as well. Enjoy, and if you like what you hear, please share it with a friend!

On this special 8th Anniversary Pledge Drive edition of the Access Hour, we bring you a very special community conversation about "Black Cyclists: The Race for Inclusion," featuring author Robert J. Turpin, Director of Honors Program, Faculty Athletic Representative, Professor of History at Lees-McRae College in North Carolina. He was hosted by the Filson Historical Society in Old Louisville on February 6, 2025. Watch the full recording and see the slides at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-bYcFc3s5c Cycling emerged as a sport in the late 1870s, and from the beginning, Black Americans rode alongside and raced against white competitors. Robert J. Turpin sheds light on the contributions of Black cyclists from the sport's early days through the cementing of Jim Crow laws during the Progressive Era. As Turpin shows, Black cyclists used the bicycle not only as a vehicle but as a means of social mobility–a mobility that attracted white ire. Prominent Black cyclists like Marshall “Major” Taylor and Kitty Knox fought for equality amidst racist and increasingly pervasive restrictions. But Turpin also tells the stories of lesser-known athletes like Melvin Dove, whose actions spoke volumes about his opposition to the color line, and Hardy Jackson, a skilled racer forced to turn to stunt riding in vaudeville after Taylor became the only non-white permitted to race professionally in the United States. Eye-opening and long overdue, Black Cyclists uses race, technology, and mobility to explore a forgotten chapter in cycling history.

Our lives in Western North Carolina were turned upside down by Hurricane Helene. In this episode Ian McDonald and I share stories of what it was like to live through. This is Ian's second visit to the podcast, his first being #92 with Lanier Ash earlier this year. When the hurricane hit the High Country, Ian was on campus at Lees-McRae College and I was on top of Beech Mountain, about a 1500' elevation difference. We share what it felt and looked like, and the aftermath of destruction it left behind. Our conversation scratches the surface of stories shared about our Helene experience. We will be coping and dealing with its effects for years to come. Hope you enjoy!

Coach Jason Allison shares his journey from growing up in Lincolnton, North Carolina to becoming a NCAA D1 men's basketball coach. He was a student-athlete at Liberty University and began his coaching career at Lynchburg Christian Academy. Coach Allison went onto coach at Lees-McRae College, Gaston Day School, and King College prior to joining the coaching staff at VMI. Allison spent nine seasons in Lexington working under Coach Duggar Baucom as the Associate Coach/Recruiting Coordinator.

After Dustin Kerns was named the new Head Coach, Allison remained on staff as the Special Assistant to the Head Coach in 2019-20.

In local news, Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk announces a panel discussing black history in local Appalachia. The Panel is titled ““The Black Experience in the High Country and at Lees-McRae” and will feature three key speakers involved in the local community, including a current student, an alumni, and a member of the historically black Junaluska community in Boone. The event will be held in the Evans Auditorium on Friday, February 25th from 7:30 to 9pm. In national news, Associated Press reports that the megadrought in the Western region of the country has become the driest it has been in over 1200 years. The drought has gone on for over 20 years and a study reports that human made climate change is the cause for about 42% of it. After a wetter season in 2019, scientists hoped the drought was coming to an end, but the region dried up in late 2020 and 2021 and is now one of the driest years on record. In world news, NPR reports that some in Beijing are discussing requiring a minimum age to compete in Olympic Figure Skating. The 15 year old Russian skater who finished first in her program has faced intense scrutiny in the past few weeks after a pre-game doping violation. Despite the violation, she was still allowed to compete, but has led to discussions about the lack of autonomy she has at such a young age in this setting and whether there need to be new rules in place to protect young athletes. Today's weather is brought to you by BooneWeather.com. Expect a high of 40 and a low of 22. Light rain in the morning with skies clearing in the afternoon and northwest winds from 10 to 20 mph with gusts reaching up to 45 miles per hour.

The mountains of North Carolina offer some unexpected treats for skiers and snowboarders. Snowmaking capabilities are outstanding and allow for a constant supply of fresh snow and great conditions. They emphasize family skiing, with a good mix of beginner runs to get first timers interested in the sport, and more advanced trails and surprisingly good vertical to provide ample stoke for even the most experienced skiers and riders.In this episode I turn my attention to Beech Mountain Ski Resort, known as the highest-elevated outdoor adventure destination east of the Rocky Mountains. I sat down with Talia Freeman who is the Director of Marketing for Beech Mountain Resort, and we discuss what gives Beech its unique vibe that sets it apart…and keeps season pass holders and first timers coming back year after year.We talk about the Resort's great mix of runs for all levels, state-of-the-art snowmaking capabilities, upgrades to the Village including beautifully constructed fire pits & seating areas near the Beech Mountain Brewing Company, and 5506 the slope-side Skybar at the Peak of Beach Mountain. We also talk about the community of Beech Mountain, specially themed events like 80's weekend & Runs for Buns, a unique co-op degree program with Lees-McRae College, and après-ski opportunities that allow guests to enjoy Beech from the first chair to last call. And, just when you think it couldn't get any better, we talk about how Beech Mountain Resort continues to deliver in the summer with downhill mountain biking, lift rides to the Skybar, and the summer concert series that delivers big entertainment for the whole family every summer.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODETalia L.

Thanks to last week's guest, Beth James of Team Liza.  We remarked on this incredible story in recent weeks and figured the timing is perfect to share it with you this week.  This Sunday is Ironman Wisconsin - Beth James and her daughter Liza will be racing as a team. Beth James and her daughter Liza are on a journey together to compete at Ironman Wisconsin September 9th.  Liza suffered from a traumatic brain injury in a car accident fourteen years ago.  Taking inspiration from Rick and Dick Hoyt, Beth and Liza found joy through riding and running outdoors. This is an inspiring interview and story of adversity, love and discovery. Talansky competed in cross-country running at high school in Florida before taking up competitive cycling at age 17. After success in local amateur races, he moved to Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina, winning the collegiate national championship race in his freshman year. He left college after one year to join the Amore & Vita team in Italy in 2009, but found the conditions unsatisfactory and returned to the US that spring.[4] He raced in the US in 2009 without team support. After a strong ride at the Tour of the Gila race, he joined Garmin for the 2010 season, moving up to the professional team for 2011, where he made the top ten at the 2011 Tour de Romandie.   In 2012, Talansky scored his first professional victory in Europe at the Tour de l'Ain, and was named Garmin's lead rider for the 2012 Vuelta a España,[5] finishing seventh on the general classification. In 2013, he came second in Paris-Nice, having led the race for two days, and was selected for the Tour de France for the first time, again making the top ten overall.   He won the 2014 Critérium du Dauphiné, joining a high quality breakaway group on the final stage to overcome a 39-second deficit to overnight race leader Alberto Contador.   He retired from the 2014 Tour de France after a very uncomfortable day on his bike, due to multiple crashes. The broom wagon was following him at the end of the stage.   In September 2017 Talansky announced his retirement from competition via an Instagram post. However, the following month he indicated that he was now "un-retired" and would take up competing in triathlon   Teasers for topics: 303Merge - Bill Donkey Run Practice - Khem TO and losing the pink helmet AG World Champs in Gold Coast; Stacia and Kevie - https://goldcoast.triathlon.org/2018_itu_world_triathlon_grand_final/ Use of anti-biotics and training or racing - https://runnersconnect.net/antibiotics-and-running-performance/ Ironman Title Sponsor Amazon - http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/world-championship.aspx#/axzz5QwfJtuZ5 Video of the week: Tim and Rinny Show I lost the Pink helmet bet Make a donation at their Ironman Foundation site of $20 and be entered in a draw Talks about how the ride up to Hawi last year surprised him with 330 watts and he's preparing for that effort in his training Keep watching and there's a video of Tim getting out of his high altitude tent   Upcoming Interviews: Coach Matt Fitzgerald - author of The Endurance Diet, 80/20 Running and now 80/20 Triathlon with David Warden Jim Vance - will join us soon to take the discussion of Today's Plan to the practical application as a coach or athlete and talk in greater detail about how it can make you more effective and efficient as a coach Todd Carver, Cliff Simms and Franko Vaterott- co-founder of Retul and now working with Specialized.
