So you thought a conversation between myself and Marc Rob would just end because Rasslecast was over? Marcus wanted to do a quick segment on whether Michael B. Jordan was a good actor and from there we talked about our hopes for Creed III, Jonathan Majors, and what's gone wrong with the MCU since we last talked about it (2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home)!

Have you been letting a negative narrative impact your life? Has this story kept you from pursuing your goals and dreams? If you are like Marcus and me, you have probably had some sort of lie that you have believed kept you from pursuing your full potential. For Marcus, it was taking on a victim mentality early on in his life where he thought he would never lose weight because he had a slow metabolism. For me, I didn't think I had what it takes to build a business because no one in my family had done it. In this episode, you will be inspired to push past those negative stories that you have believed for years, and find how that might just be the whole key to unlocking your impact and influence on the world.

Hear the inspiring story of how Marcus overcame his negative mindset and habits around health and fitness to find a sustainable lifestyle that he is extremely proud of. We discuss his seemingly neverending battle with his diet and fitness and how that led to a lack of confidence in all areas of life. When one area of our life is out of line and drains us of confidence, it can have a massive impact on all the others. Marcus also shares about the difficulties of maintaining good eating habits after a serious diet, the struggles of keeping the weight off, and how a victim mentality played a large part in his mindset toward health. But everything changed when he found a WHY that was much bigger than himself, and he set realistic and specific goals that got him going. Now, what he once hated has become a passion of his and he wants to help others on the same journey. Don't miss this powerful episode and key insights to overcoming any struggle in life and how to turn those struggles into a sustainable life that you enjoy.

The third-fastest British female long-distance triathlete and national time trial cycling champion is the newest contender for the audacious attempt to race the full distance of triathlon in under eight hours.   After Ironman 70.3 world champion Lucy Charles-Barclay was ruled out of Sub8 due to a hip bone fracture, Matthews was quick to rise to the occasion and take on the challenge of swimming 3.8 kilometers, cycling 180 kilometers, and running 42 kilometers faster than anyone ever before. Though the attempt will be aided by a team of pacemakers and cutting-edge technology and logistics, in the end it will still be a triumph of physiological preparedness and mental acuity for any athlete to go under the mark.   “I'm a relative newbie to the sport and the iron distance is certainly one where experience is of high benefit. Most would assume I would not be a contender and that achieving this would be impossible,” Matthews admits. “However, as soon as I heard of the attempt, I wanted to be involved. It sparked my interest intellectually as well as physically. I see my sporting endeavours as a case study for constant learning and improvement. I have yet to find a plateau in my physical improvement in any area, and this evolution keeps me right at the edge of passion and motivation for absolute excellence.”   As an Army physiotherapist, Matthews pursued a longtime interest in the human body and health helping injured soldiers get back to fighting fitness. It was in that environment she began exploring triathlon, going from grassroots sprints to winning middle distance races outright as an amateur to earn her pro card.   With a slew of wins and notable performances in the past three years including winning Ironman Florida to set the third-fastest full distance time set by a British female, topping Ironman UK, and dominating this year's Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote, Matthews has put the world on notice.   Now only seven years after she first began doing triathlons, she puts herself on an even steeper trajectory to sporting greatness lining up to race against dual Olympic medallist Nicola Spirig. Matthews says, “Nicola's accolades in the sport over the last 25 years puts her as a legitimate candidate as the sport's Greatest Of All Time across both male and female athletes. To race against Nicola here is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope to be a worthy contender.”   Pho3nix Foundation board member and MANA Global CEO Chris McCormack says, “Kat is a world-class athlete I've watched with much interest over the past few years. Getting herself and her ‘tribe' of pacemakers together in such a short time frame is no mean feat, but she came ready and prepared. Kat has had a long-term alignment with the Sub8 Project: she was in early discussions with Lucy as part of her team and has also been engaged in a heavy training block with many of the pacemakers over the past six months. This made for a perfect transition into the lead racing role. With Kat's cerebral and disciplined approach to the sport I'm excited to see how she will tackle the puzzle that is Sub8 and the new race strategy she will bring in her pursuit to be the first to Defy the Impossible.”   Regarding Charles-Barclay's further role, McCormack clarifies, “Lucy is still very much part of the team and having her still on board within our global commentary team and on the ground on race day brings a new lens to this groundbreaking attempt. Her journey in preparation and the insights she can offer on her fellow athletes racing will take our coverage to the next level. It's something that no one else could possibly have delivered.”   To find out more about the Pho3nix Sub7 and Pho3nix Sub8 Project Powered by Zwift, visit the official website at: https://www.sub7sub8.com/     What's New in the 303:   Colorado's Statewide Safety Stop is Almost Here!  By Brian Weiss, Bike Law Colorado   Finally, the much sought after common sense traffic law for bicyclists is coming to Colorado in 2022, likely July 1st.  After the Governor Polis signs the law and the Safety Stop becomes effective, anyone who rides a bicycle or scooter on public roads will not have to lose momentum due to stop signs or wait as long at red lights.  So what difference will the Colorado Safety Stop make?  Soon riders will “legally” not have to completely stop at stop signs when there is no traffic present.  Red lights that would not change for a bike rider who followed the law and as a result the rider waited and waited – will be a past memory.  People who were pulled over by police and ticketed for what they may have thought was a legal activity on a bicycle, can now breathe a sigh of relief.     Jack Todd (Bicycle Colorado) Andy Kerr, Senator Kevin Priola, Piep van Heuven (Bicycle Colorado), Brian Weiss   After about seven years of trying, Colorado's House and Senate finally passed the State-wide Safety Stop bill (HB22-1028), which is based on the Idaho Stop Law, in 2022.  The bill actually had true bipartisan support this year.  In fact, it passed the Colorado House 44-20 and passed the Colorado Senate 25-8.   The effective date of this law taking effect will be after the Governor signs it and the required waiting period because the new law is needed for our “immediate safety.”   An explanation of the practical changes of the Colorado Safety Stop for a bike rider are as follows:   When approaching a stop sign, if it is safe to proceed only after slowing to a reasonable speed of 10 miles per hour or less, yielding the right-of-way to any traffic or pedestrian in or approaching the intersection, and after yielding, then the bike riders can continue through the intersection without stopping; and When approaching an illuminated red traffic control signal or “red light,” the person on a bicycle must first stop completely at the intersection and yield to all other traffic and pedestrians and only when traffic clears and it is safe, may the rider proceed straight or make a right turn through the intersection or, subject to specified conditions, make a left turn onto a one-way street only. It should be noted that the bill evolved into the current version in several steps.  This law will not only apply to people who ride bicycles but is now flexible enough to cover current and future forms of transportation called “Low Speed Conveyances” which would include electric scooters, one-wheels, e-bikes, and electric skateboards.  Also there were several parts added to the text of the bill.  One critical revision is that the new law will only apply to bicyclists age 15 and over.  However, for bicyclists, or low speed conveyance riders, under age 15 who are with a parent or legal guardian they can also keep their momentum and benefit from this new law.   This is a change from the current law which was basically an opt-in decision by the city or county to make a Safety Stop the rule of that area.  As expected, when rules for bike riders changed from town to town there was confusion.  When both bike riders and drivers of motor vehicles understand the laws, they are easier to follow and there is less conflict between road users.   I say that this law was a long time coming from a personal note, as I have advocated for the Idaho Stop for over 8 years for Bike Law, Team Evergreen Cycling and myself as a person who bikes all over Colorado.  While I knew that some mountain towns, like Breckenridge, Aspen, and Summit County, had a successful safety stop local ordinance in place for years before the Colorado Legislature considered changing the Traffic Code to make this a statewide law, I also was aware of the Denver Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee in 2013 which shared a white paper explaining how traffic flows and bicycle commuters would benefit from a safety stop ordinance in Denver.  I testified at the Senate Committee hearings for two years, but the bill did not leave the Transportation Committee. However, there was a glimmer of hope in 2018 for passing a version of the Idaho Stop Law. In 2018 there were enough votes in the Colorado Legislature to pass a watered-down model of the bill which allowed the bike-friendly cities and counties to “opt-in” to a regulatory framework to allow bicycles more freedom at intersections, but I saw this as a weak compromise law. Fortunately, it did serve as a step toward the larger objective, and it energized the bicycling community to keep trying.    In the meantime, Colorado was bypassed by other states.  Arkansas, Delaware, Oregon Washington, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Utah all passed statewide safety stop laws.  Those other states provided data that was helpful in ultimately passing Colorado's safety stop bill.  For example, I explained to the Colorado Senate transportation Committee that crashes between bicycle riders and motor vehicles dropped 23% at intersections with stop signs over a 30-month period in Delaware.  I find that statistics like this resonate well with both legislators and jurors alike.  The lack of relevant statistics from other states may have been a reason that the law passing in Colorado was previously unsuccessful.   While working to pass the Colorado Safety Stop, there were a lot of different people involved with varying viewpoints.  Of course, Bicycle Colorado was a driving force behind this law as it benefits bicycle riders across the State.  Andy Kerr, current Jefferson County Commissioner, former Colorado State Senator, and former Colorado State House of Representatives stewarded this bill for about 8 years and made it his personal mission when he was a Colorado legislator.  Note, Andy commuted by bicycle when he was the Colorado State Senator and House Member for my district.   After I gave my own testimony about statistics, safety, and legal issues, I was moved by the testimony from fellow cyclists.  In particular, I recall Marcus Robinson's testimony who explained that he, as a black man riding an expensive road bicycle, was emotionally devasted after he was pulled over by the police who claimed he failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign and the police accused him of stealing the bicycle that he was riding.  Marcus explained that no minority should be targeted by law enforcement, and he advocated for equality in cycling.  I learned that after the stressful police accusation and racial unrest in 2020, Marcus Robinson and Neal Henderson started Ride for Racial Justice, a non-profit in Denver which advocates for Diversity, Education, Leadership & Community: https://www.rideforracialjustice.org/our-vision.    This Safety Stop bill will unify bike laws across Colorado, and make the roads safer for people of color at the same time.   Ride The Rockies Behind The Scenes The Pad Hotel / Hostel - Silverthorne, Colorado - The Pad Hotel / Hostel (thepadlife.com)   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

However, there was a glimmer of hope in 2018 for passing a version of the Idaho Stop Law. In 2018 there were enough votes in the Colorado Legislature to pass a watered-down model of the bill which allowed the bike-friendly cities and counties to “opt-in” to a regulatory framework to allow bicycles more freedom at intersections, but I saw this as a weak compromise law. Fortunately, it did serve as a step toward the larger objective, and it energized the bicycling community to keep trying.    In the meantime, Colorado was bypassed by other states.  Arkansas, Delaware, Oregon Washington, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Utah all passed statewide safety stop laws.  Those other states provided data that was helpful in ultimately passing Colorado's safety stop bill.  For example, I explained to the Colorado Senate transportation Committee that crashes between bicycle riders and motor vehicles dropped 23% at intersections with stop signs over a 30-month period in Delaware.  I find that statistics like this resonate well with both legislators and jurors alike.  The lack of relevant statistics from other states may have been a reason that the law passing in Colorado was previously unsuccessful.   While working to pass the Colorado Safety Stop, there were a lot of different people involved with varying viewpoints.  Of course, Bicycle Colorado was a driving force behind this law as it benefits bicycle riders across the State.  Andy Kerr, current Jefferson County Commissioner, former Colorado State Senator, and former Colorado State House of Representatives stewarded this bill for about 8 years and made it his personal mission when he was a Colorado legislator.  Note, Andy commuted by bicycle when he was the Colorado State Senator and House Member for my district.   After I gave my own testimony about statistics, safety, and legal issues, I was moved by the testimony from fellow cyclists.  In particular, I recall Marcus Robinson's testimony who explained that he, as a black man riding an expensive road bicycle, was emotionally devasted after he was pulled over by the police who claimed he failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign and the police accused him of stealing the bicycle that he was riding.  Marcus explained that no minority should be targeted by law enforcement, and he advocated for equality in cycling.  I learned that after the stressful police accusation and racial unrest in 2020, Marcus Robinson and Neal Henderson started Ride for Racial Justice, a non-profit in Denver which advocates for Diversity, Education, Leadership & Community: https://www.rideforracialjustice.org/our-vision.    This Safety Stop bill will unify bike laws across Colorado, and make the roads safer for people of color at the same time.   Ride The Rockies Behind The Scenes The Pad Hotel / Hostel - Silverthorne, Colorado - The Pad Hotel / Hostel (thepadlife.com)   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

For Denver cyclist Marcus Robinson, biking equals freedom. It's a chance to experience new things and reach places he's never been able to reach before. It was this idea that was at the heart of his Ride for Racial Justice organization that started in 2020 amid the protests over the murder of George Floyd. He thought if he could get people talking to each other about race from the seat of a bicycle, folks might be more open to listen. Robinson has continued to push for racial equity from his bike, most recently by testifying in favor of the “safety stop” bill recently passed by the state legislature. The safety stop, or “Idaho stop”, would let cyclists roll through stop signs legally. It might seem like a small change, but producer Paul Karolyi chats with Robinson about how this is a big win in the fight for racial justice and safety.

Switching gears entirely, George and Marcus continue to put up with my shenanigans as I crack open some wine for our 2021 sports recap. I encourage you to do the same (or coffee or water if you don't drink wine in the mornings) as we toss around our picks for athlete of the year, biggest surprise, disappointing teams and more. And get ready for some of my (worst) hottest takes yet as I ignore what a category is really supposed to mean just so I can complain about two of the most dominant players in their respective sports! Seriously, it's really bad.

The time has arrived for the annual Numbers On The Board episode! Started in 2017 as a yearly wrap up by Marcus, George was added to the mix last year, and now we're rolling in the deep like Adele when she was 21! *Crickets* Anyway, we talk some of our favorite music, movies, and about the elephant that's been on everyone's chest for the last 2 years, that damn Coronavirus. Plus, Marc Rob sings!
