“Going into Ultraman, it was making it to the starting line healthy and proving to myself that I could do big things healthy. I did that and I succeeded,” says Ultraman athlete Katie Solbo. In this episode, the seasoned triathlete discusses the extreme challenges of competing in one of the world's most grueling endurance races.   Recently securing the second female spot in an Ultraman event—just minutes behind the leader—Katie delves into her meticulous preparation and race performance. She shares details of her specialized training regimen for the Ultraman. After overcoming multiple foot surgeries, Katie adopted a training approach focused on low-intensity, high-volume workouts, advised by her coach. This strategy incorporated the use of the Lever to minimize impact and aid recovery crucial for building endurance and managing fatigue in such a demanding race.   Katie also explores broader strategies for tackling extreme physical challenges, discussing sustainable training methods and the mental toughness required for ultra-endurance events. Her insights are valuable for athletes considering an Ultraman race, emphasizing the importance of consistent, gentle training and thorough mental preparation for formidable competitions.   Quotes “I got into this sport just by the allure of fitness itself. And then I was like, ‘Oh, I wonder what it looks like to do all three together.' And so I fell face first in the triathlon. And my why has been geared towards achieving bigger and greater things for me. So whether that was a world championship or a PR and like an everyday role out of bed, it's like I want to be faster, better, stronger. That's my ultimate goal.” (03:09 | Katie Solbo) “Going into Ultraman, it was making it to the starting line healthy and proving to myself that I could do big things healthy. I did that and I succeeded.” (03:38 | Katie Solbo)  “The biggest lesson I learned—and I definitely took that into the Ultraman Florida training—was that the lever is my best friend. For my body, for the way my muscles recover, for my propensity of injury, I needed to put much more emphasis on staying on the lever than having outdoor miles. The importance was just there for me.” (12:28 | Katie Solbo)  “I don't think Ultraman is unattainable for anyone. If you are dedicated and you have a couple years of just consistent training under your belt. Because when it comes down to it, I look back, I relied so heavily on years of consistent training to allow me to get to the finish line. And that's what it takes.” (30:31 | Katie Solbo)   Links Connect with Katie Solbo: https://www.instagram.com/tri_kat23/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/  https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

#050 -  Imagine swimming for 6 miles, riding a bike for 200+ plus miles, and running for 52 miles in 3 days!!  This is exactly what my guest, Mario Minnaert did as he competed in the Ultraman Florida.This podcast was more than just the adventure of competing in an Ultraman event.  This episode was full of motivation, lessons to be learned, and the realization that we can do hard things.  From the exasperation of swimming an extra mile, to the heart warming feeling of having your older brother there to lift you when you need it most.  Mario's motivating and inspiring stories will be sure to lift your spirits.  Mario is after all, a coach!!You can find Mario on Instagram @mario.minnaert or check out his website www.endurify.co .  Let him know you heard him on Journey with Jake.I would love it if you could leave a rating and review for the podcast on Apple Podcasts.  That would mean a lot to me.  You can also follow me on Instagram @journeywithjakepodcast for pictures, clips, and personal fun from me!

We are all capable of way more than we believe. To tap into our true potential and create new possibilities for ourselves, we have to allow ourselves to dream big and we have to know how to keep going.  Because even though we each have unlimited potential and are capable of creating anything we want in our lives, we aren't capable of it all at once. We only open new possibilities to ourselves one step and one choice at a time. Today I'm sharing a special interview I did with my endurance coach, Mario Minnaert, who recently completed Ultraman Florida, a 3-day, 321-mile ultra-triathlon and is the perfect example of doing the impossible one step at time. We talk about how to take the first steps, challenge your identity, problem solve along the way, grow your possibility, and how to do it all with love.

Francesco Magisano is my Ultraman Florida athlete in profile.  At ten months old Francesco was diagnosed with eye cancer and by age 16 things went completely dark with blindness for him.  He found his way to sport through Achilles International, a global adaptive sports and advocacy organization serving people with disabilities.  That has led to him working for Achilles as the director of the New York metro region where he also leads a Saturday run group in Central Park.  He will be the first blind athlete to attempt Ultraman Florida, but the third blind athlete to compete at a 515 distance race.   Raphael Jamie has previously completed UltraMX 515 and John Domandl was the first, in 2015 at Ultraman Australia.Brian Hammond, Francesco's coach, also joins the conversation to speak about his role as his guide for the race.   Brian is an alumni of UMFL from 2016 and an experienced crew member who has a long ultra resume to back up his advice.Resources mentioned in this episode:Ultraman Florida Achilles International IM Arizona2020 Tokyo Paralympic Cycling Trials Trufit SolutionsTelluride Adaptive Sports ProgramThe Count of Monte Cristo (Book)  by Alexandre DumasMighty Man Montauk Sprint TriathlonUSA Paratriathlon National ChampionshipsBoston Half MarathonNYC MarathonBoston MarathonMarine Core 10KDallas 50KLeadville 100SBT Grvl - Black CourseVermont 100 Shout outs and mentions in this episode:Jen McVeay (S2E8) (S2E10) (S2E11)Steve King (S1E1) (S1E2) (S1E3)Amy Jo Jenkins (S4E2) Sarah HammondAvery HammondSophia HammondThomas Chapman___________________________________________________________Show Contributors:Host : Larry Ryan Contributing Raconteur : Steve KingAnnouncer : Mary Jo DionneProduction : 5Five EnterprisesMusic  :  Run by 331___________________________________________________________For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/515TheUltraPodcastInsta : 515theultrapodcastEmail : 515Ultraman@gmail.com

Dede Griesbauer is an American Triathlete who currently lives and trains in Boulder, CO. In 2011, Dede had a near career-ending crash during IRONMAN Germany. She broke six bones; an elbow, two ribs, her pelvis in two places, and her hip. She was told she'd never run again.  However, Dede had other plans and was back on the race course, competing in 2012. Dede is a three-time top ten finisher at the IRONMAN World Championships in KONA. In 2020, she won Ultraman Florida, setting a world record for the Ultraman distance of 22 hours, 48 minutes, and 31 seconds.  Even today, at 52 years young, Dede's passion for what she does, perseverance, and laser focus help her compete against (and beat!) people 10 - 20+ years younger than her. Listen to Dede's story to learn more about the motivations, learnings, and routines that make her one of the most consistent performers triathlon has ever seen.

You probably know Dede Griesbauer by her voice, if you've ever tuned into an IRONMAN Live race broadcast. A professional triathlete (multi-time Ironman champion and top-10 Kona finisher), she provides expert commentary on the IM broadcasts. In 2020, she added a new discipline to her repertoire: she raced Ultraman Florida, winning the women's title and setting a race record of 22:48:31. On the podcast today, we dive deep into Ultraman with Dede!

“The little things that I could sort of blow off and not pay attention to when I was 35, I absolutely have to pay attention to now. So that's I think the only thing for me that's changed in the last 15 years is I can't screw around with the small stuff anymore. It's all big stuff.” - Dede GriesbauerToday's guest is Dede Griesbauer, one of the most remarkable triathletes competing today.After speaking with Dede, it's very clear that her longevity in the triathlon is fueled by her passion for the sport and the lifestyle that comes with it. It was so refreshing to speak about her many years of competing at such a high level and her recent world record in the Ultraman Florida event in 2020. This was a conversation where we got to explore the important role things like passion, curiosity and setting the right expectations play when it comes to optimizing athletic performance. The big takeaway, however, may be how those three things contribute significantly to the joy you experience on a daily basis throughout your journey to your own personal greatness. Without a doubt, there's a lot of lessons to gain from this conversation and we can't wait to have you listen and be inspired by the insights Dede is so open to sharing with others.Timestamped Show Notes(3:42) The similarities between Boulder and Stanford…(6:36) The power of a team, a community, and a supportive environment…(8:18) Goal-setting through the years…(11:40) A bucket list of events and discovering new challenges…(18:19) Thoughts on curiosity in the sport… “When I got home, I was told I'd never run again. And I had to literally  learn how to walk again without a limp. So when you talk about curiosity, I was like, “Well, first of all, I want to be able to walk again because that's kind of important.” But then I got curious, when the guy told me I'd never run again, I was like, “Mm. Uh uh. Nope. You're wrong.” And so then it became, “How far can I get with this?””(20:10) Working through goals and the pressures on the newer generations of athletes…(23:31) “I just truly loved the sport so much. And that makes me happy. Like I've had friends and training partners that find motivation from the fact that if they don't win this race, they can't pay their rent. And for me, that would kill me. That kind of motivation doesn't serve me at all.”(25:33) Dede's number one pet peeve…(29:23) Focusing on ALL the little things…(34:26) Staying power requires attention to the details… “You're not going to be 24 forever. And the sooner you learn these lessons, the better. If you're this good now, think about how good you could be if you paid attention to this other stuff.”(36:48) An exhausting and unsustainable approach…(38:28) Chasing happiness instead of results…(40:13) Thoughts on coaching…(44:24) “I think there's gotta be a partnership where you trust enough in your coach and their philosophy and what they're doing and why they're doing it the way they're doing it. And once you have established that trust, it's really easy to just be like, go ahead, write the workout. I'll do it.”ReferencesUltraman Florida acceptance speech - FacebookGuestDede Griesbauer - website | Instagram | TwitterDede's fav UCAN product: Cran Raz Energy TubHosts:Jon Rankin - gobemore.co | @chasejonrankinBryan Green - maketheleapbook.com | @maketheleapbookLearn More:UCAN - ucan.co | @genucanYour Personal Best Awaits

Amy is a professional athlete, career-woman, mother and the founder of the One Step Ahead Foundation.    After losing her left leg below the knee due to a motorcycle accident that occurred in 1994, Amy compiled a tremendous portfolio of world records and firsts for a female amputee in marathons, ultramarathons, triathlons, and ultra-triathlons. As she attained more and more achievements, she found herself in the position of being a role model, especially for young people with physical disabilities of their own. She soon found herself working extensively with children, introducing them to sports and athletics as a way of helping them overcome their physical limitations. After several years, Amy founded the One Step Ahead Foundation in order to provide even more opportunities for children with physical disabilities.   In 2011, Amy became the first female amputee to finish the Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile course starting at 282 feet below sea level in the Badwater Basin, in California's Death Valley, and ending at an elevation of 8360 feet (2548 m) at Whitney Portal, the trail head to Mount Whitney.   In February 2014, Amy completed Ultraman Florida.  This performance during the 6.2 mile swim, 261.4 mile Bike and 52.4 mile run earned her yet another world record for female para-athletes.

On this episode of the GPP, Ger speaks to professional triathlete Didi Griesbauer. Didi is a multiple Ironman winner, multiple Kona finisher, former USA team swimmer and the current Ultraman Florida champion."After leading everyone for the first two days, Dede Griesbauer of the U.S. closes with an overall 5th-best 8:14:12 double marathon, finishing in an astonishing 22:48:31 overall time that brought her home 2nd overall at the 7th edition of Ultraman Florida"

Dede Griesbauer won Ultraman Florida in February 2020, breaking the women’s Ultraman world-best by over an hour, and finishing 2nd overall. Dede has won three Ironman titles, including Ironman UK in 2006, and finished top 10 Kona three times. She also won numerous 70.3 titles. As well as competing and winning at the highest level, she now spends some of her time commentating on Ironman races around the world.Show Sponsors:https://www.precisionhydration.com/ - Leaders in triathlete sweat testing and hydration, with multi-strength electrolytes that match how you sweat.

In today's episode I chat with Jessica (Jess) Zaiss about completing her Ironman Double. She raced Ironman Maryland and Ironman Chattanooga on two consecutive days in the fall of 2019. We (me and Jess) think that there are only two other women who have completed this challenge Katherine Olsen and Rebecca Fink. We chat about how this crazy idea came about. How she and her team made it happen how she trained for this crazy challenge. We talk about all the different kinds of ultra endurance triathlons that we know about and what makes this challenge unique. We go through her weekend and how it all came together. I have interviewed two other people who have completed Ironman Doubles. Luis Alvarez and Benjamin Vargas but each story is different. We chat about what she's been up to since she did this. As you can imagine, this is not Jess's first or only ultra endurance activity. In fact it took us a while to schedule this interview because she was busy training for and racing Ultraman Florida. Ultraman is very similar but also very different and we talk about the differences. Jess also teaches me about some new other crazy challenges that I had not hear of including Epic 10 and the Speed Factor. You an find Jess on Instagram @see.zaiss.race She is also on Facebook. This is a great interview. Enjoy and I hope this interview helps motivate you as you train for your next endurance challenge.

Recent results include Jake Riley’s 2nd place finish at the US Olympic Marathon Trials and 2021 Olympic Team Qualifier, Flora Duffy winning her 5th Xterra World Championship (record male or female) and winning her 70.3 debut at IM South Africa 70.3, Sam Long winning IM Chattanooga 140.6, IM Chattanooga 70.3, IM Victoria 70.3, Dede Greisbauer setting the Ultraman World Record at Ultraman Florida, Chris Leiferman winning IM Boulder 70.3 and top 10 at his Kona World Championships debut, and Matt Hanson winning IM Boulder 140.6, IM Traverse City and IM Campeche 70.3.

This week we have Dede Griesbauer and Jordan Brydon on. They cover Dede’s win at Ultraman Florida. Dede also tells us about doing the Ironman Now commentary. We also have Thorsten back on the show to talk about the current PTO athlete rankings.  Lastly, we have News, Discussion of the Week, and Q&As.

In mid-February, 49-year-old professional triathlete Dede Griesbauer finished second overall at Ultraman Florida. The race covered a total distance of 321.6 miles around central Florida; each participant covered a 6.2 mile open water swim, a 263-mile bike ride, and a 52.4-mile ultra-marathon run. Day 1 consists of a 6.2-mile swim and 92-mile bike, Day 2 is a 171-mile bike, and Day 3 is a 52.4-mile run. Dede established a new race and world record. She now owns the women’s title and a new race record with a time of 22:48:31. Dede’s time was also the fastest ever turned in by a female at an Ultraman event. But the Florida Ultraman wasn’t the first highlight of Dede’s career. Since becoming a pro in 2005, she’s won 3 Ironman distance races. Dede is also a 3-time top-10 finisher in Kona and in 2009, was the top American finisher. Dede is the 2016 12-hour Time Trial World Champion, pedaling 258 miles in 12 hours. Today, at the age of 49, Dede is the oldest professional triathlete and still continues to compete at the highest level. I’ve had the pleasure of listening to Dede announce countless IRONMAN NOW events, so it was a really special experience to get to interview her after such a standout performance in Florida. I know Dede has a lot more where that came from, so I’m excited to see what she does next.

Our guest this week is Dina Griffin. Dina is an exceptional ultra runner and triathlete herself. We have spoken to her in the past, but she is back with some new insights on the nutrition and training needs of female athletes. If you are a female athlete who is self-coached, you will come away with some I sights into your performance (training or racing) and hormone levels. If you've questioned why some weeks or a span of days is particularly hard for I tense training, you may start to find some answers today. My hope is that you find your best days/weeks for hard intense training efforts and which are best for the Easy Long stuff. Coaches of female athletes, (particularly my fellow male coaches) this will be good information for us to be thinking about when doing athlete intakes and will help you with designing training programs for female athletes. Thanks to last week's guest, winner of Ultraman Florida 2020, Dede Griesbauer. If you missed that episode, go back and check out episode #220.

With the field of marathoners getting more competitive each year, athletes are looking for new and innovative ways to up their game and performance. One of those ways is through nutrition and the use of UCAN’s SuperStarch, which is scientifically proven to provide a slow drip of glucose into the body to manage blood sugar levels, the key to peak performance and reducing fatigue. Compared to sugar-based sports nutrition drinks, bars and gels that overwhelm the body with surges in sugar, leading to sudden energy crashes, SuperStarch maintains stable blood glucose levels that allows athletes to unlock their full potential with sustained energy. “The Olympic Marathon Trials continue to grow in number every year, and we are excited to be the sports nutrition product of choice for more than 50 individuals in this year’s Trials,” says Shoba Murali, CEO of UCAN. “In a changing world where people from the rookie runner to pro athlete look for products to help them achieve personal and professional fitness goals, UCAN aligns with these goals, offering sports nutrition products that deliver performance without compromising long-term health.” To learn more about UCAN and SuperStarch, please visit www.generationucan.com.

Interview with Dede Griesbauer (UMFL): The race covers a total distance of 321.6 miles (517.5km), around central Florida; it requires that each participant complete a 6.2 mile (10km) open water swim, a 263 mile (423km) bike ride, and a 52.4 mile (84km) ultra-marathon run. Day 1 consists of a 6.2 mile swim and 92 mile bike, Day 2 is a 171 mile bike, and Day 3 is a 52.4 mile run. Dede completed this beast in a total time of 22:48:31. 2 hours 7 minutes faster than any other woman in the 7 year history of the race. Dede Griesbauer is the oldest, actively racing professional triathlete on the planet. Three IRONMAN wins and a 3-time Top 10 Kona finisher. Training Tips: Last week we talked about the importance of getting in a good base of endurance training. Most of us in the northern hemisphere are in that phase. But how do you know if you have enough base training, or how you can tell if your body has made the appropriate adaptions. You can aerobic endurance by testing for decoupling. What is decoupling you ask? Joe Friel writes: An important lesson every competitive endurance athlete eventually learns is that the general preparation (“base”) period of the season is the most important time of the year. It’s then that the fundamental abilities of aerobic endurance, force and speed skill are developed. If these abilities are fully formed then the more advanced, race-specific abilities of muscular endurance, anaerobic endurance and power may be built on this solid foundation in the specific-preparation (“build”) period. Excellent general fitness created in the base period is necessary to produce high levels of sport-specific fitness for later in the season. Summer races are won with winter training. How do you know if your aerobic endurance is progressing? And how do you know when you’ve done enough such training to reach an optimal AeT fitness level? The answer to both of these questions may be found by comparing power or speed with heart rate. When aerobic endurance improves there is reduced heart rate drift relative to constant outputs (power and speed). And, of course, the reverse of this is that when heart rate is held steady during extensive endurance training, output may be expected to drift downward. This parallel relationship between input (heart rate) and output (power or speed) is referred to as “coupling.” When they are no longer parallel in a workout as one variable remains steady while the other drifts the relationship is said to have “decoupled.” Excessive decoupling would indicate a lack of aerobic endurance fitness. For each half the normalized power (cycling) or speed (running) is divided by the average heart rate to establish two ratios. The ratios are then compared by subtracting the first half ratio from the second half ratio and dividing the remainder by the first half ratio. This produces a power-to-heart rate-ratio percentage of change from the first half to the second half of the aerobic threshold ride. That percentage of change is your rate of decoupling. I have found that aerobically fit endurance athletes experience a decoupling rate of less than 5%. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/aerobic-endurance-and-decoupling/. Endurance News: LONDON, ENGLAND: The Professional Triathletes Organisation today announced that it has adopted a $2,000,000 Annual Bonus Programme pursuant to which athletes will be paid based on their PTO World Rankings at the end of 2020. The bonus amounts range from $100,000 for the PTO World No. 1 male and female athletes, to $10,000 for the PTO World No. 20 male and female athletes. In addition, male and female athletes ranked at the end of the year between 21-50 shall each be paid $5,000 and those ranked between 51-100 shall be paid $2,000. Rachel Joyce, Co-President of the PTO commented, “We are very pleased to be able to adopt an annual bonus programme that rewards athletes for outstanding performances throughout the year. The triathlon season is a long one and just because an athlete might have an off race in a large event, doesn’t mean that their year’s performance should go unrewarded.” The PTO World Rankings is a first-of-its-kind ranking technology to measure the greatest non-drafting professional triathletes. It is a worldwide benchmark of consistent excellence in triathlon. In addition to being the basis for the PTO Annual Bonus Programme, it is used to determine automatic qualification spots for The Collins Cup. Tim O’Donnell, Co-President of the PTO, stated, “The adoption of the PTO Annual Bonus Plan, together with the $2,000,000 payments at The Collins Cup, means that so far in 2020 the PTO will be paying 200 professional triathletes $4,000,000. We believe that this demonstrates the value and benefits of professionals being unified in our own organisation and we hope that this is just the beginning of the many ways the PTO can bring not only a voice but meaningful contributions to our sport.” https://303triathlon.com/p-t-o-putting-2-million-bucks-in-pockets-of-100-top-pro-triathletes-for-2020/ Video of the Week: Pro Interview: Dede Griesbauer Upcoming Interviews: The Nutrition Mechanic, Dina Griffin will be joining us to discuss the nutrition needs of female athletes.

The journey I want to take you on today is about ultrarunning, healing, and about getting in touch with our primal instincts. Our story today is of an ultrarunner who is relatively new on the scene, he is hitting the podium on some ultra marathons recently. I heard him speak recently on the FIT127 podcast and others. He has some great experiences and lessons to share about ultra running for sure. As I did my research on Josh Miller, I learned there are a few more layers for us to learn from him today. For one, I know he is kind of a big deal in his day job as a UX UI Enterprise Strategy consultant. Sounds like a pretty straightforward story so far doesn't it? Our journey today will end up with us learning about Josh's struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, including an incident where he is stabbed by a dealer for not paying up. You don't want to miss this interview and we'll get right to it. Thanks to last week's guest Rachel Joyce who filled us in on the PTO and it's interest in acquiring IRONMAN. Check out episode #218.

Josh's Instagram handle @PrimalFlow. My first tip off should have been that the handle Primal Flow is also a pseudo identity for Josh. As you'll hear in our interview, Primal Flow is an instinctual feeling that he gets while running. My second tip off is the feature photo we have of Josh. It show a man that is in touch with those primal instincts. Let's get into our interview with Primal Flow Josh Miller.     Training Tips: Team, I'd like to share the training tip I'm giving out most this week.   There are lots of folks in the early part of their training plan for the 2020 season and eager to get into their fitness back. If you spent your off season on the couch, you may need to take is slower than someone who kept a regular regimen of training throughout the December and January. For those of you with early season races like Chattanooga 70.3 in May, you should be well into your base phase of training. You are sitting 11 weeks out from that race and you will be shifting into your Build Phase in the next few weeks. Be sure you have the endurance work (zone 2) in the bank. You can aerobic endurance by testing for decoupling - for more check out this article. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/aerobic-endurance-and-decoupling/. If you have a little more time, like a late summer race, you may just be hitting your base phase. Again, make sure you are spending lots of time in those easy zone 2 efforts.

“It’s amazing to me how little some have and amazing even more that the people that have, don’t do.”-Christian IsaksonMy friend Christian Isakson was the very first guest that I ever had on this show, back on Ep. 8 in early 2016. Only a few weeks before that first conversation Christian had crashed on his bike at Ultraman Hawaii, which practically destroyed his body, breaking bones and puncturing a lung. Now three years later, after a long and arduous recovery journey, Christian has returned to Ultraman, racing Ultraman Florida in February and placing 3rd. I realized after he completed the race that it was about time that I should catch up with Christian. In today’s conversation, we delve not into a recap of the race per se but more into an exploration of the mindset behind Christian Isakson. We explore who he is and what drives him to push his body to its limits and beyond. The importance of finding a deeper meaning for racing beyond a T-shirt or medal is vital and Christian is a firm believer in this idea. Today’s episode is a wide-ranging discussion on everything from how he prepared for and executed Ultraman Florida, to the role that his Christian faith plays in his life, to racing for something more than yourself, and to how to endure.AUM,Jarod ContrerasFind Christian:christianisakson.comInstagram: @luke920 instagram.com/luke920/Twitter: @lukeninetwenty twitter.com/lukeninetwentyFacebook: @luke920 facebook.com/luke920/Support Touching the Trail:touchingthetrail.com/donatetargetreleaserecovery.comFind Touching the Trail:touchingthetrail.comTouching the Trail Weekly: touchingthetrail.com/signupInstagram: @touchingthetrail instagram.com/touchingthetrailTwitter: @touchthetrail twitter.com/touchthetrailFacebook: Touching the Trail facebook.com/touchingthetrail

In this episode I talk with Crew Member Jess Zaiss about her duties as a crew member for Ultraman Athlete Julian Summers. Julian had four members of his Crew, and part of the duties of crew members are not really known. I shed light on what it’s like to be there to fully support someone else for their race versus doing the race. This is a unique episode and I was able to surprise Jess with some news about something in her future along the way. -Enjoy the show.

Wow! So grateful for the chance to talk with my friend and amazing athlete Julian Summers again. Julian is just a bundle of sunshine that loves giving back to the sport, the community of athletes, and his friends. He was able to give back to his crew member Jess, in the previous episode while he was down in Florida that left her shaking with excitement, fear, and disbelief. In this episode I learn the value of the phrase, “I am Strong” because of Julian I am inspired to do much more than I thought possible. I hope you learn something from this episode that leaves you wondering if you can do more. -Enjoy the show.

Let's, once again, explore the "whys" and the motivations behind pushing our limits as "normal" human beings. Texas native, Dayna Latham is, by all accounts, an average athlete...and, by average, I mean to say that she doesn't chase speed or podiums. She has done Ironmans and she has completed Ultra Trail Runs. She does it for the love and not for the glory or the ego. As of now, she's also a mere three weeks away from competing in Ultraman Florida, a three-day ultra-endurance triathlon: Day 1: Swim 6.2 miles/Bike 92 miles Day 2: Bike 171 Miles Day 3: Run 52.4 Miles Why? Why? Why? Well, it was definitely something I was asking Dayna and her Coach, Nick Logan of Prime Endurance Multisport during this interview. Full disclosure, Dayna has been a friend for many years and I'm actually part of her crew for this event coming up February 16th-18th. We follow along in a van all three days to provide nutritional, mechanical, and, most importantly, emotional support. Not only will I capture some interview footage, but I'll also help pace her 52.4 mile run on Day 3.  Again. Why? Coach Nick, Dayna and I talk about the details of something so daunting. She discusses the toll it takes emotionally, socially, physically and financially.  How do you begin to train for something like this? What does that coach/athlete relationship look like? How much do you really have to train? What do they hope to accomplish after all is said and done?  At Ultraman, there is no fanfare at the finish line. If you're lucky, there may be a few volunteers and some water. So, you're certainly not doing it for the accolades. Here's what I do know...There will be a loving crew of six waiting to greet Dayna with big wide open arms...and maybe a little champagne. Best of luck to Dayna!

Billy Edwards returns to the show to talk about his experiences since winning Ultraman Florida in 2015.  He completed the Ultraman World Championships later that year and has since cut back on his racing since having surgery on his toe.  However, he is busy in the sport as a coach of the Naval Academy collegiate triathlon team that finished third at the 2017 Collegiate National Championships. He was one of a few coaches selected for USAT's Elite Mentorship Coaching program and he recently observed a training camp for the collegiate recruiting program. We talk about all this and a few other random triathlon topics. Billy was a guest on episode 52 talking about his Ultraman Florida experience. Billy's website is at http://billythekidtriathlete.com/

On today's show, Iott sits down for a one-on-one interview with Ultraman Florida Champion and Ultraman  World Champion runner-up, Rob Gray.  

Ultraman Florida is a 3 day Ultra triathlon comprised of a 6.2 mile swim, a 263 mile bike and a 54.2 mile run and this year the female winner of the race was Jessica Deree. This is an amazing race and she is a fantastic age-group athlete and I just had to hear this story. We talk about how she discovered Ultraman. Before she attempted Ultraman she did 5 Ironman races including Ironman Florida in 2012, Texas and Arizona 2013 Chattanooga and Arizona in 2014 and then Ironman Arizona in 2015. We talk about training for a large event like this. Jessica was coached by Chuck Kemeny who is the race director for Ultraman Florida and the current World Record Holder for Ultraman. www.lifesportcoaching.com . We also talk about what an average training week looked like for her getting ready for this event. Crew: Jessica's husband, Jennifer Hyton, Joan Kim, Jay, Rachel Wills of Moment Cycle Sports in San Diego. Ultraman is a small race filling up at 40 racers. Jessica grew up a swimmer so she loves the swim. We talk about the course and also her nutrition. She used Gatorade and Gu dissolved in water during the swim. A 6.2 mile swim in 3:05. Immediately following the swim the racers get right on the bike for the first portion of the 263 mile bike ride. We talk about how she handled her nutrition during the ride and also each night of the race. Ultraman follows a different rhythm than some other races and the participants all get to rest at night and restart each day at the same time. Day 2 is all bike riding. 171 miles of biking which includes 5000 feet of climbing in Central Florida. We talk about how they time a 3 day event like Ultraman. Day 3 is a double marathon 54.2 mile run.  We talk about how your legs feel at the start of this run and how Jessica and her coach employ a walk-run strategy for this mega long event. The run is a point-to-point course that incorporates the Clermont Clay Roads. We talk about what you get when you finish Ultraman Florida.

Como bien saben Rafa ya está en Orlando previo al Ultraman Florida 2016, así que nos dimos a la tarea de platicar Mario, Polo y Yahuaca. Al principio queríamos hablar de la experiencia de vivir con nuestras mujeres, pero Yahuaca estaba un poco en contra ya que él no ha vivido con Pablo. Rafa nos mandó un mensaje contándonos cómo va su experiencia en Florida. Polo por fin encontró un botón que hace que todos los micrófonos se escuchen.
