The other shoe finally dropped for Congressman Kevin McCarthy after a historic vote on the House floor to remove him as Speaker this week took less than an hour, as opposed to the days it took for him to win over the gavel on the 15th round of voting back in January. As much as the motion to vacate felt abrupt, it has long been threatened by both Democrats and Republicans alike. Republican Strategist and former Deputy Communications Director for former Speaker John Boehner, Mike Ricci shares why he believes Democrats did not bail the Speaker out, speculates the reasoning behind the lack of trust between representatives, and predicts that whoever fills this vacancy will face a multitude of competing priorities. With the future of Republican leadership in the House of Representatives up in the air, what could become of future aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia? Many Republicans have voiced their opposition to further Ukraine aid in future spending bills, with the issue also driving a wedge between 2024 Presidential Candidates. Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO and Special Representative to Ukraine under former President Trump, Kurt Volker discusses why it is imperative that the U.S. continues aid to Ukraine, what European nations are doing to help with the war effort, and how America's political situation factors into Russian President Vladimir Putin's plans for the war.

Apple's new "Tracking Transparency" feature will add a pop-up to your iPhone whenever an app wants to track you. It's to let people know when their "IDFA" system is being used.Cybersecurity and privacy journalist Kate O'Flaherty explained to me in this latest video that the IDFA, or ID for Advertisers, is a way for iPhone apps to determine when things like advertising campaigns have been effective, by allowing the apps to monitor a user's activities across the phone. It is a more private way of tracking than cookies in browsers, but Apple says that more transparency is needed. They argue that many people don't realize this kind of tracking is going on, and that users should be made aware of it and given the option to opt out. That's why they've added this feature, and also things like privacy labels to their app store.A great step forward for privacy! Facebook isn't happy, because their entire business model is built on being able to track users. They're even talking about legal action on the grounds of antitrust. What will become of companies like Facebook if users decide they no longer want to be tracked?Watch on Odysee!https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/apple-v-facebook-privacy-battle:7?r=DzXweqFwrKKy9W5nrSXLok6w9Secrgc8Edited by Lee Rennie Written by Dan Amankwah and Naomi Brockwell Special thanks to Mike Ricci for all his help advising on this script!Follow Kate O'Flaherty at https://twitter.com/KateOflahertySupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/naomibrockwell)

This week’s podcast has several guests, all top-level coaches working with reasonably large groups of athletes.  First up we have Helsinki-based UK Coach David Tilbury-Davis,  who works with high-level pro and age group long-distance athletes. Next, we have the Smiling Tri Coach coach, Kate Offord, working with a large age group community. In third, we have Mike Ricci, all the way from Boulder, Colorado. Mike runs D3Multisport and has 9 coaches looking after almost 200 athletes. Finally, we have another UK coach, Matt Dixon, based in San Francisco, CA. Matt is the owner of Purple Patch Fitness and has a large group of coaches and athletes to manage. Each of these coaches was gracious enough to share their time and provide insight into how they are currently working to manage their athletes and coaches, as well as their own health and well being. Despite having different bases and athlete numbers, you’ll find that they have all adopted a similar approach during the Coronavirus pandemic. To me, this is unsurprising as they are all high-level coaches and you don’t get to this level without having a certain type of outlook and philosophy.  Each of the conversations follows a similar format as we discuss: How each coach has adapted training for pro and age group athletes Managing expectations How and how often coaches interact with clients and other coaches Who supports the coaches during this stressful time At the end of each chat, our coaches offer tips for athletes and coaches Mark Wahlberg & James Corden morning workout David Tilbury-Davis Kate Offord  - The Smiling Tri Coach Mike Ricci - D3Multisport Matt Dixon - Purple Patch Fitness The Purple Patch Fitness podcast To find out more about Simon’s SWAT programme, please click HERE  To comment on this podcast, please visit Simon's Facebook page HERE  Visit Simon's website for more information about his coaching programmes  For any questions please email Beth@TheTriathlonCoach.com

Tiffany speaks to Mike Ricci about OCD and Rich Taylor calls in from England.

This week my guest is a fellow coach from the USA triathlon mecca, Boulder, Colorado.  Mike Ricci has been a triathlon coach since early in the 21st century and as we have got to know each other I’ve become aware that Mike and I share some very similar views on coaching and working with athletes.  This conversation is just you eavesdropping on two coaches shooting the breeze about all things coaching, including: The philosophy behind Mike’s company, D3 multisport Why the best coaches have a good understanding of business Triathlon coaches don’t need to be technical experts, but they do need to know where to find them Different approaches to periodising training in a 12 month period Heart rate variability and athlete management The difference between high performing athletes and everyone else Mike speaks my language as we agree about cutting sessions short to build in mobility or strength work Can a coach be effective when pursuing their own racing goals? Exploring coaching approach within other sports to enhance athlete experience Why even long distance athletes need to train across the full range of energy zones To find out more about Mike and his training group please visit https://d3multisport.com/ or their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/D3Multisport/ To find out more about Simon’s coaching please visit his website here.

In this episode Chad and Dale look at Tavares return to Long Island, the injured defense, Kapanen cutting his hair and we go back to the early 90's to tell the story of Mike Ricci's flip flops.

Welcome to The Fin Factor, a weekly podcast series where we discuss the San Jose Sharks NHL hockey team. This week we discuss Kevin Kurz's Athletic article, Tyler Seguin plausible trade, the Sharks possible third jersey, and a Mike Ricci story. The show is hosted by Paul Sunseri and Aaron Sholl, two avid Sharks fans who have been making videos together since high school.

Our interview this week is with coach Billy Edwards of the USA Naval Academy triathlon team and we are talking about USAT Collegiate Nationals.  We are going to talk about the Navy team win (Go Navy), about the vibe of the race and how they score teams at this event. Thanks to last week's guests, coach Mike Ricci on how to transform yourself from an average age-grouper to a Kona qualifier.  If you want to get to Kona and you haven't heard the interview - get on it!  Sure Kona is the world championship of Ironman.  When you think of triathlon, most people think of Kona first.  Besides being the IM WC, it is an event that has an amazing vibe.  This week we are talking about another race that has a unique vibe and energy that I've not experienced anywhere else.  I'm talking about USATCN.  If you've been to USAT Nationals, this is not that vibe.  It's something completely different.  It's like a USATAG Nationals, Final 4 and Kona hybrid. We are talking to the coach who built a team over years to get to this point.  We'll talk about how he did it. Billy "The Kid" Edwards coaches the United States Naval Academy Triathlon Team.  He has been coaching the Navy Club sport since 2008.  Billy also coaches and consults competitive and beginner triathletes all over the country. His professional coaching background includes USA Triathlon and USA cycling certifications.  As a Marine infantry officer, Billy spent much of his time getting his Marines mentally and physically prepared for their tasks in battle similar to prepping athletes for races and meets.  Billy believes in consistency in every aspect of life in order to become a better athlete. Sports should become not just a hobby but a positively integrated aspect of your life. He also considers triathlon much more than swim, bike, and run.  It is the obstacles in your life, in your training, and then on race day that you have to learn to mentally, emotionally, and physically hurdle on the way to your goals.  http://billythekidtriathlete.com/coaching/ Discussion topics: The missing file!  My metabolic report from CU Sports Medicine was not posted as I thought.  Thanks Dina Griffin for brining that to my attention.  It is now.  I'll explain where after the interview How Bill's 10 day super block of training for IM Boulder is going I have a rant about my race at the Karen Hornbostel Memorial TT and an update on flat pinning Braver, Bolder, Stronger - Rachel Joyce clinic Craig Alexander clinic in June Upcoming interviews: The missing file!  My metabolic report from CU Sports Medicine was not posted as I thought.  Thanks Dina Griffin for brining that to my attention.  It is now.  I'll explain where after the interview How Bill's 10 day super block of training for IM Boulder is going I have a rant about my race at the Karen Hornbostel Memorial TT and an update on flat pinning Braver, Bolder, Stronger - Rachel Joyce clinic Craig Alexander clinic in June Our show is also supported by 303 Endurance Network, which includes 303Triathlon and 303 Cycling, which covers the endurance culture, news and events on triathlon and cycling.  Be sure to subscribe to the 303Radio podcast for great interviews.

Our topic this week is "how to get to Kona"?  We talk to Level 3 coach Mike Ricci on how to transform yourself from an average age-grouper to a Kona qualifier.  Everything from picking the right coach to picking the right race is right here today. Thanks to last week's guests, Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center.  We received some good feedback on the interview.  Coaches including Mike Ricci and 3 time Olympian Jim Galanes liking that content.  I have to say, this topic of nutrition and metabolic rates is extremely personal and inter-related.  I'm pleased about the positive feedback and a little relieved there wasn't some negative feedback. As I mentioned, I know there are people who experience success with different approaches.  I had Dr. Bob Seebohar on my mind while preparing the content last week.  Bob has talked with us in the past about metabolic efficiency.  I'd like to get him back on to discuss this because I know there's something to it, but I want to do it in a way that is not confusing to the audience.   Kona is the serious goal of many triathletes.  For many, it just seems like a dream or unattainable goal.  Whether you have already earned your ticket to the Ironman World Championship or it just preoccupies your triathlete dreams, you will want to hear what coach Mike Ricci has some great advice. Discussion Topics: How to go from average age-grouper to Kona Qualifier? Can you cram for an Ironman?  Wildflower report Karen Hornbostel Memorial TT and how to attach a bike race number so it is aero?  Glue or pin? Upcoming Interviews: USA Navy coach Billy Edwards to break down USAT Nationals Coach Matt Bottrill out of the UK joins us to discuss bike aerodynamic form.  He is Tim Don (and I believe Rachel Joyces's cycling coach).  Matt is going to join us for an interview and get into just how many watts you can save yourself with good bike form.

Our topic this week is Part 2 on "No Guessing".  We continue our interview Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center.  I mentioned some of the topics we are going to hit last week.  If you missed it, you are going to hear Inigo's definitions of each training zone.  You will learn what muscle types map to which zone, understand the relationship between metabolic rates and sources and muscle fiber types and zones. It's going to be a science lesson hootinany! Thanks to last week's guests, professional triathlete's Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce.  Can't wait to see Tim and Rachel at Kona this year! Taking the No Guessing topic with Inigo to the next level.  I have some training zone definitions straight from Inigo, plus I have taken my metabolic report results and done a comparison to a generic online race nutrition calculator.  I want to illustrate how different MY and perhaps YOUR individual results might be to generic calculators. Plus, we have the final results in from USAT Collegiate Nationals.  I want to share the rankings and some results, plus give a couple of special "shout outs" to some individuals and teams.  Shout Outs to: Tim Hola and his dad qualify for Kona at IM Texas. Josh Shadle's mom for also finishing IM Texas My team mates at Renegade Endurance who finished IM Texas. Scowl to any one (not any of my friends) who drafted at IM Texas Shout out to my athlete Brady Nelson for his finish at IM 70.3 St George Also a shout out to Lionel Sanders for his win at 70.3 St George with a 3:41.11. Also, upcoming guest and professional Andrew Talansky for his finish today at IM 70.3 St George with an unofficial 4:03.31 Dr. San Millán is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Director of the Sports Performance Program at the CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Boulder, Colorado. Listen closely to the concepts that we discuss.  After the interview, I'm going to share my actual data and drive home the point that relying on assumptions, generic calculators for training zones, caloric expenditure, etc. can be highly risky. Inigo's Training Zone Definitions -Z1 is recovery -Z2 is the exercise intensity where you achieve the maximal fat oxidation rate (FATmax) which also coincides with the first lactate inflection point. This is indicative of maximal Type 1 muscle fiber recruitment before Type IIa starts kicking in. -Z3 is when type IIa muscle fibers kick in and there is a sharp decrease in Fat oxidation and increase in CHO oxidation. The Cross-over point usually happens here. Also there is a continuous rise in lactate accumulation. -Z4 is the exercise intensity at which Fat oxidation completely disappears and CHO is the only fuel available. Furthermore, this also coincides with a 2nd lactate inflection point (“Lactate threshold”). This metabolic state denotes maximal Type IIa muscle fiber recruitment before Type IIb fibers kick in. -Z5 is usually your VO2max, or maximal effort you can sustain and starting to incur in anaerobic metabolism. This intensity can only be sustained for ~2-3 minutes. -Z6 is your anaerobic metabolism and dependable on ATP stores as glycolysis is not fast enough to supply ATP for the muscles. Usually sprinting intensity. Examples of Nutrition Calculations (Assumption v Reality) Zone 1 Do you know how many calories you are burning per hour? Me - TrainingPeaks: 590/hr at z1 - No indication of what % comes from fat Generic Calculator: 519/hr at z1 (67% from fat) Actual Test: 770/hr at z1 (26% from fat) If I used a generic calculator I might assume I'm only burning 171 calories of glycogen/hour.  In reality, I'm using 570.  An error of 330%.   Zone 3 Me - TrainingPeaks: 797 Generic Calculator: 774 (28% from fat) Actual Test: 979 (7.7% from fat) Generic calculator says I'm using 557 calories of glycogen/hour.  In reality I'm using 904.  Upcoming Interviews: Level 3 coach Mike Ricci of D3 Multisport to talk about how to advance from age-grouper to elite USA Navy coach Billy Edwards to break down USAT Nationals Coach Matt Bottrill out of the UK joins us to discuss bike aerodynamic form.  He is Tim Don (and I believe Rachel Joyces's cycling coach).  Matt is going to join us for an interview and get into just how many watts you can save yourself with good bike form.

Our interview this week is titled Brits in Boulder to celebrate St Georges Day this past Monday.  Bill and I met with professional triathlete's Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce at Ivan O'Gorman's bike fit studio just outside of Boulder and had a very casual interview and discussion.  As you will hear we discussed a number of topics and are super grateful for their time and for sharing their time and perspectives as professional triathletes.  Saint George's Day, also known as the Feast of Saint George, is the feast day of Saint George as celebrated by various Christian Churches and by the several nations, kingdoms, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint. Thanks to last week's guest, Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance on the topic of metabolic testing.  Last week was part 1 of a 2-part interview.  There was a lot to digest in last week's interview and we much, much more to get to with Inigo.  Because of the way the dates fell with St. Georges Day being this past week, we wanted to shift gears for a week and share the Brits in Boulder interview with Tim, Rachel and James. Next week we will return to the final half of the interview with Inigo next week.  I'll elaborate further on what you will hear next week in part 2 - you do not want to miss it.  Before we get into today's interview, I want to relay some updates from Bill and Khem, which we discussed this morning.  I won't try to represent what they discussed this morning, but would like to share a couple of brief highlights. Bill is back from Haute Route San Francisco.  Overall it sounded like he had an awesome experience, but Haute Route was no joke.  After taking a ferry to the start, the first stage started from Jack London Square after taking in Oakland and was a 100 mile and more than 10k feet of climbing with Mt Diablo.  Mt Diablo is a featured part of the Tour of California race. After they finished in Oakland, the racers took a ferry back to San Francisco for a good meal and massage.  The 87 mile stage two started at the Presidio and rode across the Golden Gate Bridge.  There was another 8500 feet of climbing and it sounds like it was pretty relentless, but pretty epic at the same time.  The gist of what Bill reported was that it's a great experience, extremely well supported, but very challenging. Khem gave an update on the Karen Hornbostel Memorial TT.  This was week four and the conditions were calm Wednesday at Cherry Creek Reservoir.  There were reportedly a lot of fast times on the 9.5 mile course and Khem knocked nearly a minute off her previous week's time.  There are three more weeks to go and I'm hoping to be out there next week with her. After the interview I'll go into a little detail on the USAT Collegiate and HS Club Nationals in Tuscaloosa.  I'll also provide a little more on last week's interview with Dr. Inigo San Milan and talk about what you will hear in next week's episode and the information that Inigo has yet to share. Rachel Joyce has six top ten finishes in Kona to her name (6th:2009, 5th:2010, 4th:2011, 2nd:2013, 3rd:2014, 2nd:2015), a world title and four Iron distance titles (Ironman Lanzarote 2011, Challenge Roth 2012, Ironman Texas 2013, Ironman Cozumel 2013 and Ironman Boulder in 2017).  Her finish time in Challenge Roth (8:45:03) also puts her down as the fifth fastest woman over the Iron distance and is one of only 4 women to finish in sub-9hours at the Ironman World Championships (8:57:28). London was “home” for  10 years but now Rachel has moved Stateside and lives year round in Boulder, Colorado.  She has been coached by Julie Dibens since the end of 2014.  Her ambition in the sport is to win Kona as well as tick off a few “bucket list” races she has on her list….Wildflower, Ironman Lake Placid, St Croix 70.3 and Escape from Alcatraz to name a few. James Hadley Originally from England, UK, has been an athlete for 28 years. He progressed quickly through years of hard work and dedication to race as a professional triathlete internationally for 11 of these years. During this time James has been taught by some of the best coaches in the world, whilst also training/racing alongside some of the all time great athletes triathlon has ever produced.  He was accepted into Bath University and started training in earnest with the triathlon team. During a visit to Australia he met coach Siri Lindley, who was “instrumental” in motivating him to take his training to the next level. He moved to Boulder to train with Lindley and still lives there today. Great Britain's Tim Don posted a 7:40:23 at the Ironman South American Championship in Brazil on May 28, 2017 to become the fastest athlete to ever finish an Ironman-branded race. The former ITU star put together a 44:16 swim, a 4:06:56 bike and a 2:44:46 marathon to post the incredible 7:40:23 finishing time and break Canadian Lionel Sanders' record of 7:44:29, which was just set at last November's Ironman Arizona. In addition to the record, Don earned the championship victory with an astounding 25-minute margin over second-place finisher Kyle Buckingham of South Africa and will be guaranteed a slot for October's Ironman World Championship. Follow up comments about last week's interview One of the topics from last week was a reference to calculating of sweat rate.  If you are unfamiliar with how to calculate your sweat rate, I recommend you read the blog article on the MHE Blog http://milehightripodcast.blogspot.com/2016/11/determining-your-sweat-rate.html The basic process is this: Weigh yourself prior to your workout Weigh yourself after your workout Note how much fluid you consumed during Note (generally how much fluid you lost through peeing) Maintain a spreadsheet.  My spreadsheet has: Date Time Temperature Activity Duration (minutes) Weight Prior Weight After Weight Change in pounds: multiply by 16 to convert to ounces Fluid Consumed Fluid Excreted Sweat Rate in ounces USAT Collegiate Club Nationals in Tuscaloosa.  The USA Triathlon Collegiate Club & High School National Championships are this Friday and Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with nearly 1,300 collegiate competitors from 120 collegiate clubs and more than 150 high schoolers registered to compete. There was a course change announced and now executed.  All races will be shifted from a triathlon (swim-bike-run) to a duathlon(run-bike-run) to ensure athlete safety. Heavy rainfall in Tuscaloosa the past two weeks led to the Holt Dam spillway gates being opened by local officials to avoid flooding. Heightened volume in the Black Warrior River necessitated that the gates remain open through race weekend, resulting in overly strong currents that were deemed unsafe for swimming. Racing Friday included the Draft-Legal Collegiate Club Championships, in which athletes covered a 2.5-kilometer run, draft-legal 20-kilometer bike and another 2.5-kilometer run.  The draft-legal format, which allows athletes to work together and pace off eachother on the bike, is similar to what is contested in elite International Triathlon Union (ITU) competitions and the OlympicGames. Some of the nation's up-and-coming multisport athletes will compete at the USA Triathlon High School National Championships. The course will cover a 2.5k run, non-drafting 21.45k bike and 2.5k run. High school boys, including two athletes competing in the Paratriathlon Open division The action continues Saturday morning with nearly the entire field of collegiate athletes competing in the Olympic-Distance Collegiate Club Championships. The course covers a 5.2k run, 40k bike and another 5.2k run. The race also includes a Paratriathlon Open division, which features a 5.2k run, 20k bike and 5.2k run. I enjoyed working with Caryn Marconi today.  Caryn is USAT's Communication Manager and was doing an amazing job making sure all teams, coaches, media knew about the changes and handling all of the social media with her team.  COO Tim Yount did and incredible job announcing today and you can tell how passionate he is about these young athletes and the sport of triathlon.  He follows the progress of these athletes and he knows how to keep the spectators informed and engaged. Upcoming interviews: Part 2 of Inigo and metabolic training We'll hear Inigo's definition of training in Zone 2 and how to train to how to improve fat burning and lactate clearing.  When you don't train properly in Zone 2, you are not training the Type 1 muscle fibers.  When you don't train those fibers, they atrophy.  When Type 1 fibers atrophy, you get reduced mitochondrial function and impair your ability to clear lactate.  Accumulation of lactate results in H Ions affecting acidosis and muscle contraction We'll hear Inigo talk about target carbohydrate consumption at 10-15 hours of training per week - spoiler alert - it's about 3-4 g/kg We'll hear how chronically low glycogen results in catabolic effect, loss of muscle mass and results in higher cortisol and adrenal fatigue and even hypothyroidism We'll Inigo's theory on the relationship between Coronary disease related to inflammation; One of the things that Bill brought up on his Haute Route race was that his heart rate couldn't get much above 130 beats/minute.  Inigo does an excellent job explaining what is happening physiologically that causes us to not be able to elevate our heart rate.  The basic idea is that the brain needs glucose.  If the brain senses there's not enough glycogen to share with the muscles and liver, the brain controls how much glycogen they get.  It also reduces adrenaline production and adrenaline reduction results in lower heart rate.
