Podcast appearances and mentions of Lionel Sanders

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.

Join me for a 4 hour gravel ride with aerobars on a singlespeed in Texas! Show Notes: History of and how to best enjoy one of these "ride along" shows. Assioma power pedals How gravel tires open up more paved but sketchy connector roads Sharrows! Reading off power and cadence while climbing. Dropping into Lick Creek Park with heavy gravel Garmin Forerunner 970 killer features review Ribbon Snakes and Green Snakes Thank you Lachlan Morton for making pink jerseys cool. Coasting more on longer rides will actually make you go faster in the end. How ranchers turn flatbed railroad cars into small bridges. Riding upright when super hot might overall be faster than low and aero due to the cooling. Rock Bros arm coolers are interesting - solid on one side and mesh on the other. For sun block / cooling. Fueling trick - clear bottles so you can see how much you've used to help stay on track. Meshy stuff WAY better in hot conditions. Dramatic cooling effect compared to classic cycling kit. Garmin 970 added rucking, sapphire glass, flashlight, speaker and microphone, but no voice notes... Fenix is overkill for most people, and that adds weight and makes it a poor running watch. Front-facing collision warning radar would be cool device since you can hit a car with your head down. Story how I was friends with the inventor of Morf-tech bars and he died from a crash like that. Interesting nuance of singlespeeding - sometimes faster on long rides by capping effort on flats and downhills? "Unhurried" vs. "Slow Living". Difference is intention and middle pathing. Getting water from country gas station. Cool soundscape. Surrounded by Roadies. Drifting in gravel turns is FUN. Uhurried more like Taoism "Flow" than Slow Living is. Miniature compass on handlebars end up being better than I thought! Use to better work with wind and navigation, no batteries. How I'm using my Garmin 945 watch to send HR to my bike computer. People are regressing in response to constant news agitation. Need more calm. Do you reeeeaaaally need a smart watch? "Unhurried" co-opted by Christian movement? Religion vs. Philosophy in Communism. Nishiki is 90s aluminum. Rear end is stiff like a jackhammer. Taking a heat break in a cornfield. How red-shouldered blackbirds are territorial and dive bomb you. How I got the nickname “Cool Breeze”. What different formats work best for Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts. Pausing to do things right when being unhurried instead of putting things off for later because you are in a rush. Trimming workouts down in time if tired instead of just going easier. Set an end time for your workouts - more important than a start time. You want to be extremely relaxed in aero position. Why flat terrain wears you out more than rolling. Singlespeed flatbar gravel bike is oddly like 80s BMX bikes. The truth about drinking from the hose and not being let in the house. How we get rolling hills with steep gully walls. How to "row" your bike up steep hills. Trick to keep your water bladder in the freezer to stop mold and also have ice water on your hot rides. More on "time capping" to give you more free time. The coolest thing about gravel isn't the gravel, it's the lack of cars. Rear radar apps on your phone will play the alerts through your headphones too. Get the swimming version of Shokz headphones if you want them to be truly sweatproof. Signs of nerve damage in feet. How I got the nickname "Cool Breeze". Cooling down under a freeway bridge. 91 degrees in the shade. Using cold soda to cool down faster from the inside out. Fueling 300 calories per hour using table sugar and a little bit of Gatorade powder and sodium citrate. Zen story of being unhurried to become enlightened. Hitting singletrack and pipeline road. Signs you're trying to do too much. The "shoot first, point later" concept of videoing your rides with an Insta360 camera. Lionel Sanders won a 70.3 Ride stats - 97 degrees, 63 miles, 4 hours and 11 minutes. Wrap up and family news!

This week, we break down another packed weekend of racing across the triathlon world. We start with the T100 Vancouver wildcards, where an exciting list of short course athletes has been announced, led by Maya Kingma. The addition of these athletes brings fresh dynamics to the field. In Yokohama, the WTCS season continued with a thrilling men's race. Matt Hauser edged out Vasco Vilaca in a tight sprint finish, while Jeanne Lehair secured her first WTCS victory in the women's race, marking a significant milestone in her career. We also discuss the Challenge Championship, covering the key performances and outcomes from the event. At Ironman Lanzarote, Lucy Charles-Barclay delivered a dominant performance, leading from start to finish and showcasing her prowess on one of the sport's most challenging courses. In Aix-en-Provence 70.3, the men's race featured an incredible showdown between Kristian Blummenfelt and Casper Stornes, with Blummenfelt taking the win. In the women's race, Marjolaine Pierré delivered a commanding performance, securing a decisive victory. Finally, we touch on Chattanooga 70.3, highlighting the standout moments and athletes from the race.

Eric Lagerstrom recently released "Look For Things Where You Can Find Them" - a film that gave him the opportunity to share his perspective on triathlon outside the tape of a traditional race course. Not only did he achieve that, but he dramatically raised the bar for the entire endurance sports community. Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay have been building a large community with That Triathlon Life (TTL) and this film was a project that Eric has been chasing for a while. We sat down for a conversation about the creation of the film, the audience reception, and what's next.

We share an interview from the World Triathlon podcast with Paris 2024 Olympic Triathlon Champion Cassandre Beaugrand! It is a deeply honest chat revealing a little more about just where all the grit, determination and competitive spirit that has taken the 27-year-old to the very top of the sport came from. Charlotte McLauchlan is a Master's student in nutrition and dietetics at Auckland University. In this chat with Bevan she discusses her research on fueling strategies for long-distance triathletes. Charlotte highlights the lack of research in this area, particularly for amateur athletes, and the barriers to accessing proper nutrition education. Charlotte shares her personal experiences with nutrition, body image and the psychological aspects of eating, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to care. She also outlines her upcoming study aimed at assessing the nutritional status of triathletes in New Zealand, inviting participants to contribute to this important research.

For this episode, I share some thoughts on the topic of "fit but unhealthy." Recently, pro triathlete Lionel Sanders shared some details about his health concerns. This came as a surprise to some as he is visually very healthy and performed at a very high level. Some have hypothesized it is due to his hyper carb fueling strategy. Others have suggested endurance training to the degree taken by professional athletes is unhealthy.

This week, we discuss the recent news that Imogen Simmonds tested positive for Ligandrol, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) known to enhance muscle mass and strength.  Simmonds has denied intentional use, attributing the positive test to intimate contact with her partner, who was unknowingly taking Ligandrol to improve his physique.  We explore the details of this case, its implications for her career, and the broader impact on the sport.

Big changes are shaking up the world of triathlon and cycling! Georgia Taylor-Brown is making a major move to cycling—what does this mean for her career and the sport? Meanwhile, watching these events just got a lot more expensive, with Eurosport shutting down in the UK and Ireland and its coverage moving to another channel at a significantly higher price. What impact will this have on fans and the future of endurance sports?  We also take a look at the newly announced T1 event—is this the PTO stepping up to compete directly with Supertri? And in the world of T100 racing, Lucy Charles-Barclay and Jelle Geens are the last two contracted athletes to be confirmed. But with Taylor Knibb dominating, we have to ask—do the female contracts even matter if no one can beat her?   To support the podcast please head to: patreon.com/talkingtriathlon To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://bit.ly/3vzSss2  Or check us out on Social Media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingtriathlon You can follow James at https://www.instagram.com/bale.james85 You can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14

Any elite athlete would tell you that it takes a village to support their ability to achieve their goals throughout the season. A big part of that support comes through partnerships, and in today's episode of Second Nature, we have a deep conversation about athlete partnerships with Patrick Lemieux. He's the person connecting the dots between athletes and partners for mega athletes like Lionel Sanders and Taylor Knibb, to name a few.

We bowed down to the power of hot mugwort before this amazing episode! The main topic was on a study that may be the long-lost "missing link" in our training theory. It took 12 elite endurance runners and had them do sprints of 100 meters and 400 meters, along with a VO2 max test. Their findings (and one striking non-finding) may connect studies on speed interventions with real-world implications. We also answered listener questions in the "no secrets" style! The most hairy question was on a topic that people don't talk about too much in public: supplements. We say what we take and why we take it, with a million disclaimers because we're cool like that. And this one was full of the best topics! Other topics: takeaways from Strava's Year in Sport, why an experience this week may influence how we think about training theory, the cost of the Western States 100, year-end voting, how fueling and hydration are letting people race more, AI use cases for athletes, our thoughts on cold plunges, a framework for mental toughness, nose strips in poker, the evolution of shoes, and Listener Corner. In the episode, we talk about a video we saw where champion triathlete Lionel Sanders had his treadmill directly in front of a photo of one of his competitors celebrating a victory. We're inspired. So if you hear some extra motivation in our voices, it's probably because we put a photo of the Smartless guys in front of the mic in our bedroom. We love you all! HUZZAH!
