"I never had a reason to quit. There's no reason to quit. The reason to get to the finish line was to inspire other people and families with CF (Cystic Fibrosis) that they are not going to die. That together, we can build a life. And build the best life that we can! And that looks different for every single person." - Lisa Bentley"(...) We have to get into a habit of getting out of our comfort zone. And doing the thing that we might not want to do. Gradually it becomes easier to do that. Like going to the gym, this is New Year's, everyone's going to the gym. The very first time might be very difficult, then you do it the tenth time, and the 21st.

Lisa Bentley never thought she was an athlete...that is UNTIL she won her first Ironman. That's right, her first. Lisa Bentley has been an Ironman Champion 11 times over. And, she has done this all with Cystic Fibrosis - a genetic lung disease that results in severe damage to the lungs and limited lung capacity. This week, Sara talks to Lisa about what performance means to her. One thing is obvious in a conversation with Lisa, her CF is NOT a limitation to her life, but rather, a blessing that has pushed her to race harder and has fuelled her passion for sport. Sara and Lisa discuss what it really means to be a champion and the distinct difference between being "fit" or "in shape", and being healthy. Finally, Lisa's advice for winning in life will leave you ready to take on your next challenge.

Lisa Bentley (BMath '92) is an 11-time IRONMAN champion and has represented Canada on multiple national teams. She also has cystic fibrosis, an often-fatal genetic lung disease that she now considers a super power. After retiring from sport, she employed that superpower in a new way: as an author and motivational speaker.

Kelly talks to Dr. Lisa Bentley, President of the Ontario Dental Association.

Lisa Bentley competed as a professional triathlete for 20 years, is an 11-time Ironman champion, a finisher of multiple marathons, and an accomplished motivational speaker, author, television broadcaster, and coach. And she competed at the highest levels of her sport despite a diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 20. Lisa joined this episode of the On the Move podcast to share more about her career path, overcoming challenges, the processes that led her to success in a variety of fields, and the things that any athlete can do to successfully set and achieve their goals. It was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it. If you want to learn more about Lisa or connect with her, visit her website, www.LisaBentley.com. And we also discussed the VCU Health Richmond Marathon, which takes place on November 13. More information on that is available at www.RichmondMarathon.org.

11-time Ironman champion and bestselling author Lisa Bentley shares her extraordinary story of overcoming Cystic Fibrosis to become one of Canada's greatest athletes, how she turned CF into her superpower, why a champion isn't someone who wins, and how compassion fuels competitiveness. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Attitude is more important than fact” might seem like one of those weary and overused motivational slogans. But Lisa Bentley lives it every day. Lisa is an 11-time Ironman triathlon champion, including 5 straight victories at Ironman Australia. She also has cystic fibrosis - a genetic lung disease that results in chronic infections with limited lung capacity. Lisa was diagnosed in 1989 at the age of 20, when the average life expectancy for those with cystic fibrosis in Canada, was also 20. The facts would suggest Lisa was never meant to excel at endurance sports. She’s the first to admit she wasn’t the most talented athlete around, especially given her limited lung capacity. But it was Lisa’s approach to the mental and emotional side of sport — her attitude — that set her apart. We dive into her story and the tools she used to build that mental fitness in this conversation.

“When there’s adversity, the real champions rise to the top and they find success.” I chat with Lisa Bentley about her journey to becoming a pioneer in the sport of triathlon. Through the evolution of racing, she understands the importance of the mind regardless of generational changes in training and racing styles. After our chat, it’s easy to see how she’s still so bloody passionate about triathlon. Lisa’s secret is understanding that sport doesn’t only make you fitter and faster, but it makes you better equipped to tackle problems and live a more successful and happy life. In the times of the COVID 19 pandemic, and as many of us are questioning ourselves as “triathletes,” Lisa reminds us that the training that we’ve done is making us mentally stronger to tackle the obstacles that 2020 has thrown our way. Lisa was definitely the person that I needed to speak with that day, and I hope you might feel the same too. Lisa's website: https://bit.ly/3iWx88h BECOME A WITSUP MEMBER - www.patreon.com/witsup

All of this is remarkable enough before you consider that Lisa was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a disease of the lungs causing repeated chest infections and requiring her to be on antibiotics for up to three months every year. Her story is one of not just hard work and dedication, but also of a positive mental attitude that rivals anything you’ll ever have heard.

Lisa Bentley is a speaker, author, and 11-time IRONMAN champion. She is one of the most decorated Canadian triathletes, and has remained heavily involved in sport since her retirement from professional competition in 2010. Lisa is known for her contagious smile, and describes how she found joy in the hard stuff; “I’m not saying racing was an easy thing. But at the core of it, I loved what I did. I would get to the start-line, or wake up on race-day and say to myself, there is nothing else I would rather be doing” Lisa and Steph riff on how Lisa has stayed involved in the sport she loves during retirement, and how the lessons she learned as a professional athlete translate into her life today. For as long as she can remember, it was ingrained in Lisa not to quit. She attributes this lesson to much of her success in sport, but also acknowledges that she has had to learn to be kinder to herself, loving herself enough to sometimes let herself off the hook. She hopes to see people love triathlon as much as she does, and hopes that people don’t lose their joy in becoming too regimented. Lisa gave Steph the advice years ago to “Run the mile you’re in”, and both Steph and Lisa find this lesson to hold true in all aspects and stages of life.

There’s few people in Canadian Triathlon that are as well known as Penticton’s Steve King. He’s right up there with Lori Bowden, Simon Whitfield, Lisa Bentley, and Peter Reid.

It's hot out there and it's getting hotter. How does the body handle increased temperatures and is there anything that you can do to improve performance when training and racing in the heat? Lisa Bentley, with two decades of racing triathlon as a professional at both the 70.3 and Ironman distance had a storied career but it never should have been because Lisa has cystic fibrosis. Hear Lisa's story of living with a chronic disease without being defined by it and her journey to become a beacon of hope for patients and families living with the disease. Finally, the Triathlete Routard goes to Michigan for the Steelhead 70.3 race and second year pro Maddy Pesch comes back to the podcast to tell us all about this iconic and popular midwestern race.

Welcome back! Today we're going to revisit an interview with Lisa Bentley that I posted on my previous podcast. Although she is primarily regarded as one of the best Ironman athletes in the world, Lisa spent the first eight years of her triathlon career racing Olympic distance and representing Canada on several national elite teams at the World Championships and the 1995 Pan Am Games. In 1997, Lisa switched her focus to the Ironman distance, winning her first long distance event, Strongman Japan, and breaking the course record by 19 minutes. She placed ninth in her first Ironman World Championships, beginning a progressive rank improvement that culminated in a third place win at the 26 Ironman World Championships. Over the course of her career she has won eleven Ironmans and sixteen 70.3 Half Ironman distances, and achieved several top five finishes at Ironman World Championships. She had at least one Ironman victory for each year from 2000-2007 and was ranked among the top five triathletes in the world for over a decade. Lisa competed at the highest level in Ironman despite having cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease resulting in chronic infections and limited lung capacity. Lisa came to see CF as a blessing, fuelling her passion for sport and excellence. Every race gave families hope that their children with CF could achieve similar things in life. Since she retired from pro sport in 2009, Lisa has been doing marathons, doing motivational speaking, providing television commentary for CTV Olympic Swim coverage, and CBC triathlon and Sportsnet Ironman coverage. She coaches and does sales and marketing work for other triathletes and triathlon events. She is also an advocate for CF, women in sport, and equality in sport. I'm honoured to have her on the show. Her new book is out called “An Unlikely Champion: Finding a path to fulfillment and winning in life”. She is an amazing human being and you are going to absolutely love this interview.

“Attitude is more important than fact” might seem like one of those weary and overused motivational slogans. But Lisa Bentley lives it every day. A member of the Triathlon Canada Hall of Fame, Lisa is an 11 time Ironman triathlon champion, including 5 straight victories at Ironman Australia (2002 - 2006). She also has cystic fibrosis - a genetic lung disease that results in chronic infections with limited lung capacity. Lisa was diagnosed in 1989 at the age of 20, when the average life expectancy for those with cystic fibrosis in Canada, was also 20. The facts would suggest Lisa was never meant to excel at endurance sports. She’s the first to admit she wasn’t the most talented athlete around, especially given her limited lung capacity. But it was Lisa’s approach to the mental and emotional side of sport -- and her attitude -- that set her apart. We dive into her story and the tools she used to build that mental fitness in this conversation.

Lisa Bentley spent 20 years competing as a professional athlete, although early in her career she kept secret that she suffered from the rare lung disease cystic fibrosis. Despite her medical condition, Bentley won 11 Ironman races and 11 half Ironman races, had several top five finishes at the Ironman World Championships, and represented Canada on multiple national teams and at the Pan American Games. We spoke to Bentley about her new book An Unlikely Champion, why she eventually went public about her condition, and why she considers having CF a gift.

She won 11 Ironman races, 11 half Ironman races, had several top five finishes at the Ironman World Championships, and represented Canada on multiple National Teams and at the Pan American Games. For a decade, Bentley ranked number five in the world. All of that is all the more impressive considering Bentley did so with cystic fibrosis, a rare genetic lung disease results in chronic infections and limits lung capacity.
