Just two weeks ago, he became the youngest man to ever win the Ironman 70.3 World Championships.

Patrick Lange gehört zu den besten Triathleten der Welt. Er hat als erster Athlet bei einem Ironman-Hawaii-Sieg in 07:52:39 Stunden die magische 8-Stunden-Schallmauer durchbrochen und hält mit einer Zeit von 2:30:32 Stunden den Streckenrekord der jemals in einer Langdistanz gelaufenen offiziellen Marathonzeit. In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Patrick auch über eine schwere mentale Phase in seinem Leben, über die er selbst sagt, dass er den Sport in dieser Verfassung so hätte nicht weiter ausführen wollen. Wie er es letztendlich aus diesem Negativstrudel rausgeschafft hat, warum er sich nicht nur nach Rückschlägen, sondern auch im Wettkampf kleine Ziele setzt und warum Dankbarkeit eine große Rolle spielt, erfahrt ihr in dieser Episode.Mehr zu Patrick Lange:Patricks WebsiteFolgt Patrick Lange auf InstagramFolgt Patrick auf FacebookFolge uns:runskills auf Instagramrunskills Websiterunskills auf TikTokDennis auf InstagramEileen auf Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Die Wechselbörse der Leichtathletik kam zum Ende der Frist nochmal kräftig in Schwung und Philipp freut sich über einige prominente Neuzugänge als Teamkollegen in Berlin. Einen neuen Rekord gibt es auch zu besprechen in dieser Folge - und zwar die schnellste gelaufene Marathonzeit innerhalb eines Ironmans: Am vergangenen Wochenende aufgestellt von Patrick Lange in Israel. Unerfreuliche News gibt es diese Woche auch zu besprechen: Sie betreffen einmal mehr die Laufnation Kenia, obszöne Funktionärsgehälter in den USA und leider auch gesundheitliche Probleme bei Ralf, die aktuell leider seine Laufambitionen stark einschränken. Last but not least gibt's ein Shoutout für eine gute Sache: Die Aktion #Run4Water von Viva con Agua, die Philipp am kommenden Sonntag supporten wird. Checkt da am Nachmittag gerne die Livestreams auf Instagram & Twitch und wenn ihr könnt freuen wir uns natürlich auch über jeden Euro der für Trinkwasserprojekte in Uganda zusammenkommt.

What it will mean for the women's race and which athletes will it benefit the most.

Do you ever think that the people most qualified to perform particular tasks are those who have an intimate knowledge of that task? For example, an ex-footballer or rugby player might be best suited for a job as a referee. How about sports photography? If you've participated in a sport and know exactly what the performers are going through, do you think that might help you to frame even better pictures? Maybe that's why today's podcast guest Jack Schofield has risen to the top of the triathlon photography world so quickly. Not only does Jack take some brilliant photos, he's also a pretty decent triathlete himself. Earlier this year he finished second overall at the age group only Ironman UK and just a few days before we chatted he had completed this year's Ironman World Championships in Kona. In fact, Jack was splitting his time between preparing for the race and taking photos for Ruth Astle on her Thursday Kona race day. Dividing your energies like this is challenging and we get into this topic, as well as: The conversion from rowing to triathlon How studying architecture helps him to frame good photographs How understanding exactly what triathletes go through helps him frame good photos Training with Patrick Lange and other elite triathletes Jack has a rant about triathletes who use but don't pay for finish-line photos To find out more about Jack he hangs out mostly on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/two26_photography/ www.Instagram.com/jackyscho/   In our conversation, Jack talked about his first photography book which he also (unsurprisingly) recommends as his favourite book

Last week's IRONMAN World Championship was historic on many levels. We saw the IMWC raced on the big island after a two year pandemic induced hiatus. We saw the first two-day format with the women's race Thursday and the men's Saturday. We saw records blown away including all of the top 10 pro men finishing sub 8.and an American professional champion after a 20 year stretch.   This week we have coach and age group Kona competitor Lauren Vallee joining us to review last week's historic Ironman World Championship.   Show Sponsor: UCAN Generation UCAN has a full line of nutrition products to fuel your sport.

Despite attempts to pull away in the first half of the swim, neither were successful in building a definitive lead.   Instead, a staggering 19 pros exited the water within 15 seconds of each other, led by Angert in 48:15 and Laidlow in 48:16. This tight pack included some of the most dangerous triathletes in the field, setting up the likes of Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden, and Braden Currie in perfect position for a tactical race at the front of the field.   One minute and 15 seconds later, another large pack emerged from the water, containing even more strong cyclists capable of quickly bridging the gap. These included Igor Amorelli, Patrick Lange, Rudy Von Berg, and Magnus Ditlev.   A third and final large pack, four minutes down from the leaders, contained Matt Hanson, Chris Lieferman, Cam Wurf, Sebastian Kienle, Joe Skipper, and Lionel Sanders.   Laidlow was the one to take charge in the initial miles of the bike, setting an average pace of 27 miles per hour over the first 25 miles. Max Neumann was the only one willing to take the bait, staying just out of Laidlow's draft to avoid a penalty. Behind them, big groups stuck together as the crosswinds picked up through the lava fields. Fifty seconds down, the first chase group of 11 included Ditlev, Blummenfelt, Iden, O'Donnell, and Bakkegard; almost two minutes behind was a group of 18 that included contenders like Lange, Currie, Ben Hoffman, and Denis Chevrot.   At mile 30 on the bike, the massive groups continued through the rolling hills on the way to Hawi. With 42 men racing within 5 minutes of each other, space was hard to come by – and the referees noticed. As with the women's race on Thursday, the penalties began early and often, with Angert, Clement Mignon, Mathias Petersen, and Arnad Gilloux being the first to serve their five-minute punishment for position infractions. Leon Chevalier soon joined them for a one-minute penalty as well.   Soon, more setbacks started to snowball in the men's field. With each passing mile, Sanders saw the race get away from him as his position slipped from 4:42 down out of the water to 7:13 by mile 30. Colin Chartier, who was in the first large pack out of the swim, found it difficult to recover after an early flat tire. Lange seemed unable to jump on to the train of competitors passing him at full speed, and in a shocking twist, pre-race favorite Currie dropped from the race around mile 35.   Meanwhile, the men's race began to take shape near the base of Hawi as Ditlev went to the front of the race and took control. Behind him, Laidlow and Neumann could not match the effort, while countrymen and training partners Iden and Blummenfelt sat 30 seconds behind Ditlev, working together near mile 50.   Just after the Hawi turnaround, Laidlow reclaimed his lead, but Ditlev, Neumann, Blummenfelt, and Iden were hot on his tail. Further back, a group including Kyle Smith, Tim O'Donnell, and Jesper Svensson trailed the leaders by 2:30; 3:30 back from the leaders were Kristian Hogenhaug and Daniel Bakkegard. A big group of dangerous bike/runners sat 5 minutes behind the front pack that included Wurf, Chevalier, Skipper, Lange, Kienle, and Andreas Dreitz.   Near mile 90, disorganization plagued the chase group of Iden, Blummenfelt, Ditlev, and Neumann as they lost an additional 1:30 to the race leader, Laidlow. Further back, Wurf, Kienle, and Chevalier led a rally to try to get within striking distance of the front, putting 2:20 into the Norwegian group over a span of over 10 miles. As the race barreled toward T2, the chaos continued, with Ditlev receiving a five-minute position penalty at a time when most would be making their critical moves in a race.   Up front, Laidlow seemed to not know – or care – about what was playing out behind him. Instead, the young gun stayed focused on his own race, surging ahead. By mile 88, Laidlow's lead grew to 2:37; at mile 94, a 4:11 advantage.   Heading into T2, Laidlow smashed Cam Wurf's 2018 bike course record with a split of 4:04:36—knocking almost five minutes off the previous time. Behind him, the chase group was six minutes down, and the second chase had 8:30-9:45 to make up.   Laidlow set out on the run with a target on his back. The question then became: Would his bold bike strategy pay off, or would it end in disaster? Could he actually beat the notoriously fast Norwegian runners to the finish line? Could anyone? As the men's pro field moved through T2, the field shifted from large packs to a steady trickle. It was soon clear who had paced themselves well on the bike and who had burned their matches. Behind Laidlow, Blummenfelt and Iden led the charge, setting out at a 5:54 minute-per-mile pace to the leader's 6:13 pace. Behind them, O'Donnell and Kienle were the fastest movers in the second chase pack early in the run, along with Ditlev—finally released from his penalty.   As Laidlow made his way up the Palani climb, his pace slowed to 6:23. Iden and Blummenfelt powered on, checking their watches to ensure they were sticking to their staggeringly consistent 5:58 pace. With every footfall, they seemed to cut into Laidlow's lead. Neumann, looking to hold his own in his Kona debut, followed suit.   Slightly further back, strong runners like Kienle and Ditlev were working together as well, slowly making their way up through the top ten, through the first half of the marathon—as did Joe Skipper. At the halfway point, they found themselves in fifth and sixth place, with elder statesman Kienle offering words of encouragement to the young Dane as they ran together.   Between miles 11 and 16, the Norwegians' march toward Laidlow started to stall as the Frenchman found a way to staunch the bleeding. As he made his way out the Queen K, it seemed as if he found a pace he could comfortably sustain. At the turnaround in the infamous Energy Lab, Laidlow could see exactly where he was relative to his competition. He knew he had a lead of just over two minutes, but what he didn't know was whether or not the Norwegians had another gear. Anticipating a battle, Laidlow gathered all he could from the aid stations – cups of ice, a gallon bottle of water to douse himself on the scalding Kona pavement.   Indeed, Iden had just decided to drop his friend and training partner, pulling ahead in the Energy Lab just before mile 19, while Blummenfelt trailed behind. With less than eight miles to go, Iden broke out into 4:38 min/mi pace, laser-focused on the task ahead.   At mile 22, Iden gave Laidlow a pat on the back to let him know his time at the front was up. With a handshake and a smile, Iden made the pass, striding confidently to the finish line.   After the pass, it was the Iden show, as the Norwegian extended his lead to set a new course record with a time of 7:40:24 and a new run course record of 2:36:15. Not far behind, Sam Laidlow valiantly hung on for second place with a time that also broke the previous run record, 7:42:24. Kristian Blummenfelt would fade only slightly, but still stand on the podium with another course record time of 7:43:23.   “That was so freaking hard,” Iden said just moments after his record-setting finish. “The last 10K I was worried about the legend of the island killing me. Everything was going pretty smoothly until I caught Sam Laidlow. When I passed him, the island really tried to put me down. But I think my hat must be stronger than the legend of the island.   “That was so epic, and I'm so proud of Sam and Kristian making the podium. I'm not sure if I'm coming back here, this was too hard.”   What's New in the 303: Asking For a Friend, Is Anything Possible to Change the IRONMAN World Championships? Bill Plock Oct 12, 2022–I promise, this opinion is not rooted in sour grapes. I really think IRONMAN should consider either moving the championship race somewhere affordable with easier logistics, or go back to one day of racing and figuring out how to make it somewhat bigger and equitable for men and women. Much easier said than done.   Some have suggested having the men and women race at different times of year, in Kona, or rotating the men and women every other year. It seems to me keeping this format of a Thursday/Saturday race with 5,000 amateurs competing isn't sustainable or good for the race long term. And, I suspect it was quite hard on the island despite the economic windfall estimated at over a $100 million.   The IRONMAN World Championships is a very unique sporting event. It's really the most successful pro/am event in the world if you ask me. Sure golf tournaments usually have a VIP pro/am round before the tournament, but name a world championship where the best of all categories compete at the same time in the same venue.   What I fear with the new two day format, by more than doubling the number of participants and more than doubling the cost, the Golden Goose of triathlon will get squeezed too tight and stop laying the proverbial egg which lures age group athletes to dedicate their lives (and pocketbooks) to racing in Kona. And for marginal pro's with very little hope at a prize and footing their own bill, maybe they forgo Kona and the field shrinks?   After shopping condos for 2023 at unbelievably high prices, I know 303 probably won't be able to bring you first hand stories and celebrate the success of our well represented state of Colorado. I”m sure we aren't the only ones and I would fear, more importantly, if deserving athletes and their families forgo participating because of costs. I know that has happened over the years, but now it will probably become a reality more and more.   This race, Kona, is way more than a race. It's a celebration. It's a lifetime pursuit and a lifestyle. The red carpets are literally rolled out. Age group athletes feel like rock stars. And they are.   But the race needs folks like us, and volunteers, and fans and industry support. We all know it costs a fortune to attend the Olympics, or a Super Bowl. They are exclusive as well. But they are TV sports and most of the world is happy to watch at home. And those venues take place in large cities and are accessible by car. It's easy and affordable to be near the venue in most cases and feel the vibe. But not in Kona. You pay to get there or you don't. No drive by's happening there.   This year it seemed to go fairly “ok” logistically from all accounts but no doubt there were complaints. We were supposed to go, but our condo was mysteriously condemned due to “mold” in late July—I'm skeptical and think it went back on the market for double the rate. That's what happened to pro Joe Skipper who almost pulled out when his condo booking was revoked and they asked for three times more and he vented frustration on his IG account. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch27WEirBdO/   I am curious how the two midnight finishes played out and if it was electric like always. I can't imagine any men racing on Saturday hung out to cheer Thursday. I was sad to miss Mike Reilly's last call. I was bummed to miss all of it.   I'm torn because I loved watching the pro women race by themselves and get the attention they deserve and race under more fair conditions without the fast age-group men interferring and having more favorable weather. But as far as a race experience, I've heard some complaints about less aid stations because of less volunteers available and a few other minor things.   Said finisher and triathlon coach Lauren Vallee who will be featured on our podcast this weekend to talk about all this, “There was a notable decrease in volunteers, but that's expected given the demand this event takes on the community. We knew in advance where aid would be and given the opportunity to plan accordingly.  The run aid stations being farther apart certainly impacted peoples days, but I decided to race with a bottle and had no issues with getting anything I needed from one station to another.”   This race is already darn hard to qualify for, now it's darn hard to afford. With so many more participants, volunteers, and spectators converging on the big island with the same amount of bed space as always, does this just make the sport that much less inclusive than it already is? There is already a correlation between the high incomes of triathletes and participation, does this just makes it worse? It must.   Condo's for 2023 have more than doubled in cost to more than $500 per night plus fees for a one bedroom. I booked a two bedroom condo for this year (the one condemned), in the same building, for $225 per night.  And I'm just a guy with laptop. I don't have race fees (which are going up substantially next year), bike transport and all that goes with racing.   I really don't fault the tourism industry, it's a free market, take what you can get, and during Covid they got pretty much nothing. Thats how it works. And IRONMAN must see a demand of people willing to pay to play, but something has to give, and it will at some point.   I get the tradition of this race and importance of its heritage, legacy and the aspiration it provides. I get the mentality of “you can't move the Boston Marathon to Las Vegas and call it the Boston Marathon.” But this is the IRONMAN World Championship. It's not the Kona World Championship. It could be somewhere else like what happens with the 70.3's.   The solution is not easy, nor do I really have one other than being open to changing something to keep it accessible to not only athletes, but to fans, supporters, volunteers and others who want this sport to have the best championship possible.   I'm just asking for a friend, posing a question of what, if anything is possible.     TriDot Mark Allen Edition - LEARN WHY THE "GREATEST OF ALL TIME" CHOSE TRIDOT AND ENTER TO WIN A LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION TO TRIDOT & A NEW GARMIN FORERUNNER 955 SOLAR WATCH.

With both the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) guidance and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule now finalized, IMBA's Policy Manager Aaron Clark has analyzed both in-depth to compare similarities, differences, ramifications and next steps for eMTB access on the federal public lands mountain bikers ride and steward most. We want to hear the community's questions about the analysis, the policies, and about these changes. On March 31, 2022, the USFS finalized long-awaited e-bike guidance. The guidance incorporated a number of IMBA's recommendations made during a public comment period in October 2020, in which thousands of mountain bikers took part. The guidance has some great elements in line with IMBA's recommendations: it requires a local public process to adequately collect local sentiment on possible pros and cons of eMTB access; thorough National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Travel Management Planning; the guidance distinguishes between class 1, class 2 and class 3 eMTBs to ensure quality experiences for all trail users; and the guidance manages eMTBs as a new category, separate from traditional mountain bikes. Unfortunately, USFS fell short by reclassifying non-motorized trails to motorized trails where eMTBs would be allowed, even if all other motorized uses were to remain prohibited.   What You Need to Know About New Colorado Safety Stop Law By Mike Raber, Board member of Bike Jeffco   There is a lot of misunderstanding about the recently passed amendment to the Colorado Safety Stop statute, so I am providing clarification.   The Colorado Bicycle Safety Stop law was enacted in 2019 as an opt-in statute for municipalities and counties to implement on a voluntary basis.  The amended law changed the existing law effective statewide on April 13, 2022 when Governor Polis signed the bill.  It has been shown to assist in reducing bicycle automobile collisions at intersections in those municipalities and counties where it was implemented. 8 states in addition to Colorado have adopted Safety Stop laws statewide with positive results for reducing collisions.  Colorado State Patrol and Colorado Department of Highways statistics for the last several years document over 70% of bicycle & motor vehicle collisions happen at intersections.  Collisions don't happen between bicyclists and motor vehicles when bicyclists can cross an intersection when there is no traffic and it's safe to proceed, this is what the 2019 statute provided for. Due to the confusion on where the 2019 statute was and was not adopted between municipalities and counties, the law was amended on April 13, 2022 to make it effective statewide to eliminate this confusion.     New Bike Day Argon 18 Every component and part itemized Andy Schmit Service Course - Custom Bikes — The Service Course The Article Saturday Ride       Video of the Week:   XTERRA athlete profile Suzie Snyder   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!

Patrick Lange is an experienced HVAC business broker heading up The Business Modification Group. Coming from a unique background in financial planning and owning an HVAC business himself, Patrick shares why you shouldn't fear focusing on one area of expertise as well as how to sell or acquire a new business.  Don't Fear Niching Down Customers want expertise. They want to know the broker knows about their needs and knows about serving them. Many business owners in the broker world fear losing out on opportunities if they create a more specific selling point. However, niching down gives you the ability to make more money, become more valuable, and enjoy your work more. “The biggest thing is educating yourself because you know the more value you deliver to the customer, and that's whether you own a heating and air company or a plumbing company or an electrical company or you're selling them… the more people seek you out.” The more you learn about your specific niche, the more information you will then be able to provide your client with. Immerse yourself in whatever area of expertise you are wanting to go in. Patrick says that success leaves clues—find those people and listen as much as you can. Successfully Selling Your Business Laying the groundwork for a successful transition when selling your business can help you receive the full value that your company is worth, without any hiccups. Selling requires careful planning.  Patrick says that by following these four simple steps, you will remain on the offensive: 1. Keep clean books and records. Stop treating your business like your personal bank account. Pay your taxes, receive the correct income and you will benefit later down the track. “The least amount of personal expenses you have in there [books], the better off you're going to be.” 2. Take yourself out of the truck. Don't be the only person doing the hard work and “turning the wrenches.” People do not want to purchase that kind of business and your exit strategy will be far more complicated. 3. Focus on service. Service should be placed above new construction. Buyers are fearful of new construction. The more service you focus on, the better your business is going to be. 4. Deepen those customer relationships. Get into customer homes more often, deliver a better maintenance agreement and this will lead to long-term profitability. How To Find a Suitable Business To Purchase If you have a problem in your business, having more leads come in is not going to fix your issues. Patrick's advice for anyone searching for a business to acquire is to first look at what is happening within your own company. Once you have the right systems in place in your own company then you are better prepared to purchase someone else's. “Don't buy anything until your ducks are in a row in your own business. Many people think, and I'm sure you see it on the marketing side, they've got all these other problems, and they think that if we have more leads coming in that will fix the problems. That's not the fix… Make sure your house is in order first, and that you've got systems in place in your own business before you go taking on somebody else's. That's the first step.” Determine how and where you want to grow. Look at the location of the companies you are thinking about purchasing and decide whether these fit within your expansion. Patrick also explains the importance of checking in on the size and affordability of the business you are considering. Understand what your business and clients need and go from there.  For more information on his business and services, visit Business Modification Group.

Patrick Lange is an experienced HVAC business broker heading up The Business Modification Group. Coming from a unique background in financial planning and owning an HVAC business himself, Patrick shares how to run a successful services business, so that when it comes time to sell it, people are lining up to purchase.  Selling Versus Running A Business If you don't enjoy your work, make a change. Find a career that you can take pleasure in, like selling products that you are knowledgeable and passionate about. Patrick shares that although he started out in the finance industry, he knew it was not the space for him. He decided to pivot, pursuing a career as an HVAC business broker instead. Patrick emphasizes that success leaves clues. Finding your way in a new career path is not always easy. His advice is to:  Try new things.Learn from successful business owners.Improve on what you learn. “I get to steal a lot of ideas from successful companies that I see every day. I love successful businesses. So, for me it's kind of neat to kind of peel back the layers and see what works… seeing what's successful and what's not successful and there is a fine line that separates the two, that's extremely exciting to me.” Making A Business Sellable Buyers love simplicity and ease. When selling a business, it is important that you have clean records and great relationships with your clients. Patrick says these are the first things that buyers look for when considering a purchase. “Separation of service, clean books and records, repetitive income and a business built on service. Those four things if they build their heating and air company, and plumbing company and electrical company that way, they'll be able to cash a bigger check.” Be aware of what the general rate for a business of your size is going for and try not to oversell or undersell yourself. People will not always be truthful with what they can truly afford, so you have to have to make a judgement call and understand how to communicate your desires. Becoming A Buyer Great customer service is an essential quality you should look for when buying a business. Patrick knows a lot about what is needed when acquiring a new company. Aside from assessing the right pricing and the paperwork, you have to ensure you have a good understanding of how the business was run previously. If the company you are considering purchasing has a bad reputation for inconsistency or bad customer service, those issues will now fall on you. The Opportunities Of The Trade You can be incredibly successful in the trades. These jobs are always going to be needed, and Patrick believes this industry will continue to grow. “I can tell you I know more people in the heating and air business that make more money than the people I knew in the financial planning business... It's not all about income and I am not trying to make it like it is, but the opportunities that the trades offer that I didn't realize existed, I get to see that on a daily basis and that's incredible to me.” For more information on Patrick's business and services, visit Business Modification Group.
