Recently, Andrew L'Esperance and Alexis Cartier kicked off their North American race season. At the Sea Otter Classic gravel race, L'Esperance finished 13th, making him the top Canadian at the first event in the Life Time Grand Prix series. Cartier had a tough race. “It was fun, but I didn't perform at all,” he says in this episode. “I kind of expected it, but I really got smashed.”The pair of riders will find themselves at many of the same races this season, including other Life Time events, such as Unbound, and gravel nationals in Water Valley, Alta. They are both racing as privateers, responsible for their own logistics, sponsorships, maintenance, on top of all the training and competing. Each one has a unique plan and set of goals for the season, which they discuss in this episode. L'Esperance is mixing gravel, mountain bike and even road racing. Cartier is blending his training and transportation: he's bikepacking to all six of the Life Time Grand Prix events.Also on the pod, Canadian Cycling Magazine editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen, as well as feature writer Jake Williams, discuss recent races, such as the men's and women's Amstel Gold and De Brabantse Pijl. Pioro reports back from Sea Otter. He says he knows a bunch about the 32” wheels that seem to be coming to mountain bikes, but what is he actually able to reveal?
Send us a textWhat happens when a doctor of physical therapy who swore he'd never work with older adults discovers his true calling in senior care? Matt Hansen, Executive Director of the Home Care and Hospice Association of Utah, takes us on his remarkable journey from pediatric specialist to passionate advocate for quality home-based care.Matt reveals how his perspective dramatically shifted when he recognized the profound similarities between life's bookends—young children and seniors often share the clearest understanding of what truly matters in life. Through candid storytelling, he challenges some of our most deeply held assumptions about caring for aging loved ones, particularly the belief that families should handle everything themselves.The conversation tackles head-on the uncomfortable reality that well-intentioned family caregiving often fundamentally changes relationships. When adult children become caregivers, they frequently stop being daughters or sons in the same way. Professional support can preserve these precious family dynamics while ensuring comprehensive care.Perhaps most provocatively, Matt questions the inheritance mindset that prevents seniors from utilizing their life savings for quality care. "The money my parents saved is there to take care of them," he emphasizes. "The greatest inheritance they've given me isn't financial—it's values, work ethic, and love."Looking toward the future, Matt shares his optimism about emerging technologies that promise to transform home care. From non-wearable sensors that monitor vital signs through mattresses to AI systems that streamline documentation, these innovations may help address the serious staffing and reimbursement challenges facing the industry.For anyone considering home care for a loved one—or as a career path—this episode offers invaluable perspective. As Matt beautifully states, entering someone's home to provide care isn't just a job; it's stepping onto "sacred ground" where you might be their only advocate for maintaining independence and dignity.• Moving from pediatrics to geriatrics after initially being reluctant to work with older adults• The misconception that families can handle senior care alone without professional support• How family relationships change when relatives become caregivers instead of maintaining their primary roles• Challenging the mindset that saved money should be preserved as inheritance rather than used for quality care• The funding challenges facing home care with Medicare Advantage plans paying significantly less than traditional Medicare• Technology innovations making aging in place safer, including non-invasive monitoring systems and AI-assisted documentation• Utah's surprising statistic of over 450,000 family caregivers, many who don't identify as caregivers• The sacred responsibility of working in someone's home and serving as their advocateSupport the show

Sprinting against Jasper Philipsen, navigating a slippery go-kart track, powering up a climb in Spain trying to put out more watts than three other finalists—those were some of the challenges Noah Ramsay faced this past December as he competed in Zwift Academy for its prize of a spot on the Alpecin-Deceuninck development team. In the end, Ramsay won.The pro road contract marks a big switch in Ramsay's cycling career. For the past few years, cross country has been the focus of the 22-year-old rider. This past fall, he was 11th at the Lake Placid World Cup XCO race and fifth in the short track event at the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup. Despite Ramsay's promise on the singletrack, he didn't have a team that could help him further his racing career. In August, a friend of Ramsay's recommended he try out for the Zwift Academy, a talent-identification competition supported by the virtual training platform. Ramsay made it to the finals, which were held in Spain this past December.In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, Ramsay tells the behind-the-scenes story of his Zwift Academy win. Also, Ramsay's coach Peter Glassford of The Consummate Athlete gives an account of the rider's talents that have gotten him to the Alpecin-Deceuninck development team. Ramsay looks ahead to his upcoming road season, discusses his hopes for the next few years and muses about where mountain biking might fit in with his new road career.Also in this episode, editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen, as well as feature writer Jake Williams, discuss the men's and women's Strade Bianche, and look to Trofeo Alfredo Binda and Milan-San Remo. For the Classicissima, the focus is more on the women's race, which is back after a 20-year hiatus. What's the right length for a race called “Milan-San Remo?”Recently, on the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, another rider making a cycling-discipline switch was featured. This season, Mathias Guillemette is making the switch from track to the road. Give that episode a listen, too.This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast is supported by MS Bike.

Recently, the country's top cyclocross riders took on a slick, muddy course in Lévis, Que., site of the 2024 national cyclocross championships. Just past the finish line, Canadian Cycling Magazine was there to capture the reactions of six new champions.Regular contributor Jake Williams was at the event, not only racing in the relay and the championships themselves, but taking in the action. In this episode, he shares his interviews and stories from Lévis with editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen.Emilien Belzile grabbed his first championship win in the junior men's category. He faced a tough race and even went down on the course. In the end, he had to sprint hard against Evan Moore for the finish line. In early November, Belzile was third in the junior race at the Pan Am championships. This past June, the Fédération québécoise des sports cyclistes named him mountain bike athlete of the month for his podium placings in Canada and Quebec Cup events.Nineteen-year-old Mika Comaniuk is no stranger to CX nationals or racing in Lévis. In 2023, he won the C2-level Cyclocross de Lévis. Back in 2022, he was second in the junior race at CX nationals in Victoria. This past weekend, he got a gap on his fellow racers in the under-23 men's group that he was able to maintain until the end.Marin Lowe took a break from her studies at the University of Victoria to jet across the country, borrow a bike and win the under-23 women's race. Lowe already has a maple-leaf jersey in her collection: she is the 2023 junior cross country champ. Also that year, at the cross country world championships, she crossed the line in second place, behind her then-teammate Isabella Holmgren. In this episode, Lowe reveals the unique indicator she has that tells her when she's really ready to race.Like Comaniuk, Rafaelle Carrier won in Lévis in 2023. Actually, Carrier has won in a whole bunch of places the past two years, including Gullegem in Belgium and in Missoula, Mont., at the 2023 Pan Am championships. This year, Carrier was second in the junior category at the cross country world championships. In a way, it's no surprise she defended her 2023 national junior CX title. Still, her competition was top-notch. In second was USCX overall winner Nico Knoll. Third was Aislin Hallahan, a regular on recent USCX podiums.While Isabella Holmgren's elite win wasn't much of a surprise either, she also faced some serious competition, too, like multiple CX champ Maghalie Rochette and current Pan Am champ Sidney McGill. Ian Ackert continued his relatively compact but successful 'cross season by snagging his first elite title. You'll learn how he celebrated that win and how those festivities didn't really seem to hinder him on his next race day at the C2 event.Throughout this episode, Jake, Matthew and Matt bring their analysis to the event, mixed with their signature humour.

The new vice president for student development at Simpson College, Matt Hansen, is retaining his existing title as dean of students and is on the front line of helping make a vibrant experience for students outside the classroom. On this episode of the podcast, Matt talks about his career journey to Simpson, his program's recent Iowa Safe Schools Award, and how Simpson is helping its students be engaged in the 2024 elections.
A mother tells her son that he sucks. A pro, on his way to a race win, lobs a retort revealing local knowledge. A masters rider can't stop thinking about a burn yelled at him across a field years ago. A course designer screams platitudes with the frightening intensity of a death metal singer. These are all part of the world of cyclocross heckles, which sting, amuse, elate and perplex. They're supposed to be fun. But sometimes they go terribly wrong.At a recent CX race in Toronto, editor Matthew Pioro looked into the cyclocross heckle. He spoke with Isabella Holmgren, the current elite Pan Am champion participating in one of her first 'cross races of the season. She revealed how family can unleash some pretty harsh words. Ian Ackert, the under-23 Pan Am champ racing in bleached blond hair, seemed to have corralled any disses around his locks. Sidney McGill, two-time under-23 national champion, has been followed by a squirrel-related heckle. The three pro riders not only spoke about course-side razzing, but their goals for the 'cross season ahead as well.Pioro also went looking for a heckler who landed what the editor considers some of the harshest burns he'd ever received. The meeting and the conversation goes in a direction that Pioro didn't expect. Could it be time to retire the heckle and replace it with something more positive?In this episode, Pioro has help with CX heckle analysis from Canadian Cycling Magazine web editor Matt Hansen and feature writer Jake Williams, two guys who know all about unleashing trash talk.

This past August, the day after Micayla Gatto's 36th birthday, the freerider, filmmaker and artist was at a boatyard in Squamish. She was there to fix up the family's sailboat. Her goal is not only to get the craft seaworthy, but to use it to travel to new riding destinations—another chapter in the varied career of the rider-Renaissance woman.In the 2000s, Gatto competed in downhill, earning national championship titles. After a bad crash in 2014, she stepped away from racing. In 2017, her video with IFHT, “Ferda Girls”—a parody of Kendrick Lamar's “Humble” that critiqued the sexism and the challenges women face in mountain biking—won Crankworx's Dirt Diaries. The video remains a landmark in Gatto's career. Today, Gatto, a YT Mob member, continues to ride big lines and is an alternate for this fall's edition of Red Bull Rampage, which will include women riders for the first time.Another first in 2024 is the FMBA Slopestyle World Championships for women. Can Gatto connect her riding and activism to progress in the sport such as that? She is maybe a bit humble, and mixes her analysis with humour. “I mean, I've had a couple of people name their babies after me,” she says in this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast. “So, I've got to be doing something right. (Or I just have a cool name.)”Find out more in this wide ranging interview with Gatto that also looks at another one of her pursuits, the art of tattooing, and how it is connected with mountain biking.Also in this episode is Derek Gee. The rider from Osgoode, Ont., won a stage at this year's Critérium du Dauphiné, held the leader's jersey for a stage and finished third overall. Later in the summer, he rode to an impressive ninth at the Tour France. He looks ahead to the Grands Prix Cyclistes de Québec et de Montréal. Editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen look further at the WorldTour races set to run in a little more than a week. Big names are on their way to Canada.
Mount Glory is well known among backcountry skiers and snowboarders. But as a summer hiking trail? Not quite the same draw. And yet, for Lou and Kathy Fatkin, it made for the ideal location when they set out for a hike up the steep, dusty trail on July 16, 2023. Their story about the consequences of that day, despite the hardship, lends inspiration for experiencing some of our country's most treasured landscapes. TCSAR volunteer Anna DiSanto joins in the conversation about the team's response: a good old-fashioned boots on the ground gruntfest during one of the hottest days of the year. Interview by Matt Hansen. Editing and sound by Melinda Binks. This story was recorded in the studios of KHOL 89.1 FM.

“I felt there was a big gap that could be filled with good, science-based, evidence-based information,” says Rick Prince, founder of the United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy. In this episode, Rick joins Brad Miles to explore the void he noticed in endurance sports education, which inspired him to create UESCA in 2014. For Rick, staying current with evidence-based information is so crucial because it's what ensures that coaches are providing athletes with the most effective and safe training methods, ultimately leading to better performance and injury prevention. Rick shares insights into the advancements in endurance sports science, particularly in female physiology and training technologies. He clears up common misconceptions, such as the myth that running damages your knees and the misunderstood role of lactic acid in muscle fatigue. Rick further explains UESCA's certification programs, which are designed to be thorough and adaptable to fit each learner's pace. He highlights the significant contributions of experts like Dr. Matt Hansen and athletes like Mel Rojas in shaping UESCA's curriculum. He also gives a sneak peek into what's next, including a strength and conditioning certification for endurance athletes and a newly launched course on physiological adaptations to endurance exercise. Tune in to this episode of Run Fast, Run Forever Presented by Lever Movement to boost your coaching skills and discover the importance of science-based training and ongoing education in the ever-evolving world of endurance sports. Quotes “A lot of the programs that were out there, they would come up with something and wouldn't update it at all. So, it was just really antiquated information that you were getting. One of the things we make an effort to do is update the information as new information comes out.” (03:15 | Rick Prince) “There are all these long-standing myths out there. I think one of the biggest ones that always gets attention is that endurance exercise is bad for you.” (06:24 | Rick Prince) “What we're trying to do is say, ‘Hey, it's all about education. It's all about the experience. It's all about those elements versus whether you're a top performer.'” (11:19 | Rick Prince) “For us, it's going to stay more focused on what we're doing purely from an educational standpoint. We are currently working on a strength and conditioning certification, which we believe will be in high demand. We're certainly receiving quite a few requests for it, and there's never been anything specifically for strength and conditioning for endurance athletes.” (13:55 | Rick Prince) “A lot of this came from my, for lack of a better word, hatred of the personal training industry, where everything seemed like a money grab. I approached it from the standpoint of, if I were a coach or an aspiring coach, what would I want? I would always want a reference point. For example, if we update our certifications, you don't pay for the update or for any additional content because I don't think that's how it should be.” (17:15 | Rick Prince) Links Connect with Rick Prince: https://enduranceconference.uesca.com/ Keywords: Use RUN75 for $75 off the Conference price https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
Today, I'm syncing up with Ezra Swell, Age Group triathlete that is CRUSHING it in the 25-29 age group, which he just entered this year. He recently won Challenge New Jersey, where he earned a spot to Challenge Roth. In June he came in first in his age group at IRONMAN 70. 3 Happy Valley, where I was race announcing and watched him come through the finish line, which was pretty cool. He has also won 1st AG IRONMAN 70.3 Eagleman. In his spare time Ezra works in finance and played college basketball at University of Chicago. During our conversation, we chat about how Ezra got his start in triathlon and what he loves about the sport, how he has evolved as an athlete from his first IRONMAN to winning in his AG at the Ironman 70.3 distance , when he was self coaching and why he decided to hire a coach ( podcast guest) Matt Hansen, when and why he joined Every Man Jack, similarities and diff between basketball and triathlon, what Ezra does when he isn't racing and training, his super cool bike and when/who he finds time for dating!
There are a million and one ways for people to get into trouble in the backcountry. And it is unfair to assume that everyone is being reckless. Sometimes, they just get their foot stuck. In this episode of The Fine Line, Teton County Search & Rescue volunteer Doug Van Houten takes us back to an incident from 2018 when the SAR team had to pull out all the stops in order to help a Nordic skier get out of a jam, literally.

Matt Lieto catches up with the current IRONMAN Pro Series points leader, American Matt Hanson. A new father at 39, Hanson talks about what fuels him as an athlete, and the importance of understanding your ‘why' when chasing big triathlon goals. Hanson made the leap from age-grouper to professional in 2011, earning his pro card just to see if he could do it. Since then, he's earned six IRONMAN 70.3 titles and six IRONMAN wins. Hanson shares where he learned his work ethic, how he balances a full life as a coach and father with his own athletic ambitions, and why it's essential to focus more on process and less on outcome. Hanson also talks about his training prep for the upcoming Athletic Brewing IRONMAN Lake Placid with IRONMAN Pro Series current #2 Jackson Laundry, and his strategy for ending the season atop the leaderboard.

Teton County Search & Rescue volunteer Carol Viau, one of the longest tenured members on the team, shares this memorable story from her very first rescue. It was October 26, 2000, a time before cell phones were ubiquitous, and when most callouts for TCSAR required good old-fashioned boots on the ground. "A Whistle in the Dark" reveals how and why someone is drawn to be a first responder, how intuition and basic skills can be invaluable during a cold, dark search, and how gentle conversations with a person in need can help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Season 8 of The Fine Line begins with a story from one of the most recognizable features of the southern Teton range, and a ski line that makes even the bravest skiers buckle their boots a little bit tighter: Cody Peak's Central Couloir. On Saturday March 18, 2023, skiers Will Brown and Jacqueline Dickey dropped into Central after hiking out to the top of Cody from the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Aerial Tram. What happened next forever changed their relationship to skiing and big, complex mountains. We also hear from Jackson Hole Ski Patroller Jeff Burke, who helps explain how different responding agencies come together to perform rescues in the JHMR backcountry—and how a pair of skis took the long road to get back to Jacqueline. If you are looking for mental health support, please visit the Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center, or dial the national crisis and suicide prevention hotline at 988. As we hear in this episode, mental health is a backcountry safety issue. Interviews and writing by Matt Hansen. Editing and sound by Melinda Binks.
