#493 Training Camp Magic   Welcome Welcome to Episode #493 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of interviews, coaching tips and discussion.   It's a magical time here in the front range. Without Limits Colorado Triathlon is next week, Boulder 70.3 the week after and another magical G2G training camp this weekend with guest Coach Bobby McGee. And we literally had magic last weekend at our bike camp!   April, what tricks do you have up your sleeve today?   Oh, I've got a few spells ready—workouts, dream chasing, and some Rich-on-the-spot coaching! But before we dive into today's endurance sorcery, let's fuel up with our show sponsor who helps keep the energy steady, not spooky… Show Sponsor: UCAN UCAN created LIVSTEADY as an alternative to sugar based nutrition products.

Announcements and News:   Our Announcements are supported by VESPA Power today. Endurance athletes—what if you could go farther, faster, and feel better doing it?

Vespa helps you tap into steady, clean energy—so you stay strong, focused, and in the zone longer. Less sugar. More power. Real results. Fuel smarter with Vespa—because endurance is earned, not spiked.   Fun Fact: Vespa is the name of the Genus of Wasps.    Upcoming Programming -    G2G Spring Training Camp May 17-18 - Swim Focus in C.Springs and Chatfield May 24-25 - Bike Focus - Chatfield/Chatfield May 31-June 1 Run Focus - Boulder/Boulder   Volunteer with us Jun 14, 2025 at the Boulder Res! We are privileged to be in the IRONMAN Boulder 70.3 Transition Area again for 2025.    If you like watching the race and cheering for spectators, there is no better seat in the house. As a volunteer you will be in the middle of the action and the volunteer shirt will get you access to a lot of places regular spectators cannot access (eg finish line).   Please join me by signing up for the Transition Area early shift.

Did you do any type of gut training while also using Vespa?     She also posted some questions about Vespa on the I AM TriDot Facebook page:   For those of you using Vespa, I have some questions as I'm considering trying it. Are you eating a lower carb diet most days? How do you fuel your longer rides/runs now? How has your race nutrition changed? Is gut training still beneficial? Do you still carb load before a longer race?   Get Gritty Tip: Touch Your Dreams Every triathlete has a dream. It could be crossing the finish line of your first race, qualifying for a championship, or becoming a stronger version of yourself. But what sets great athletes apart is having a clear vision of that dream and working relentlessly to make it a reality. As Coach Ed Mylett says, "It takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams." You are the leader of your own journey, and your vision can guide you through every training session, every race, and every obstacle. Vision is the fuel that drives consistent action. It's easy to get caught up in the grind of training—times, distances, paces—but the real power lies in seeing beyond the day-to-day. When you have a vision, you're not just training for the next workout; you're training for your dream. That vision will push you through the tough days when you feel tired, frustrated, or uncertain. It reminds you that you are not just chasing times or placing in races—you are building the athlete you dream to be. What's your vision for your triathlon journey? Are you clear on your dream, or are you still figuring it out? Take time to reconnect with that vision—whether it's personal growth, achieving a specific race goal, or leading others. The power of vision is in its ability to inspire you to keep going when things feel tough. Get Gritty Action: Write down one thing that represents your ultimate dream as a triathlete. Whether it's a time goal, an experience, or a feeling, get specific about your vision and keep it front and center in your training. Share it with your community to hold yourself accountable. Keep your dream alive, and never stop selling it to yourself. Because when you have vision, you can achieve greatness.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Race Scenario Drills Welcome back to another segment of the TriDot Workout of the Week. We are going off script and covering a key part of your preparation for a race that is not related to your aerobic capacity or FTP. We are talking Bike Handling Skills for Race Day. This past weekend we covered the following Drills: Emergency Braking (crash in front of you) Braking Descending/Cornering (courses like Coeur d'Alene) How to bunny hop (a water bottle or pot hole) How to ride through and Aid Station and take nutrition Dropped chain recovery How to eat/drink/sunscreen while riding Draft Legal Pace Line / riding in a group Peeing on the bike    Fun Segment: Triathlon Fantasy Draft! Welcome to the Triathlon Fantasy Draft—the game where we build our dream team, race, or gear lineup one pick at a time. This is a no-holds-barred drafting showdown where everything in triathlon is up for grabs—gear, races, distances, legends, and even post-race snacks. No duplicates, no do-overs, and plenty of opinions. You'll love some of these picks… and you might want to roast others. Let the draft begin!     1. “Build Your Dream Race Day” Draft 1 item from each category: Swim location (for example, a lake, ocean, pool, etc.), Cozumel Bike course style (flat, hilly, technical, iconic), Pike's Peak APEX Run vibe (trail, city, beach, mountain) Post-race food:  Race-day weather 2. “All-Time Tri Gear Draft” Draft your gear setup: Wetsuit brand Bike (brand + style) Running shoes Must-have tech (watch, power meter, etc.) Nutrition product 3. “Triathlete Dream Team” Draft your ultimate relay team using any triathletes (pros, age groupers, historical icons): 1 swimmer 1 cyclist 1 runner 1 coach 1 wildcard (celebrity or fictional athlete)     Alright, the picks are in—but now it's your turn to weigh in! Who built the best fantasy lineup? Cast your vote and send us your own dream draft. And remember: there's no wrong answer—unless you drafted a treadmill as your race venue…   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week.

Most people never discover how great they truly are—not because they lack talent, but because they never show up with their full effort. They hedge. They wait until they feel perfectly confident, perfectly prepared, perfectly safe. But here's the gritty truth: Confidence doesn't come first. Action does. You don't build belief by standing still. You build it through movement—through showing up, pushing past the urge to hold back, and choosing effort over ego. So this week, forget perfect. Forget ready. Just show up. Fully. Give it a real go—not halfway, not with excuses, but with honest effort. That's how grit is forged. That's how potential is revealed. You don't need to be fearless—you just need to be there.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Bike-Run Bricks   Welcome back to another segment of the TriDot Workout of the Week.

The Vespula group of invasive wasps are still active, but starting to show signs of slowly shutting up shop for the winter. Vespula germanica (German wasp) and Vespula vulgaris (common wasp) are the two species with no sense of humour in New Zealand. At this time of the year the action is all about the queens: the old queens (as well as the males and old workers) are facing the end of their lives, and the brand-new queens are preparing for hibernation. For new queens that means mating in May – after that she can find a nice spot to hibernate till mid-September. I usually find them in stored firewood, nice dark nooks and crannies. This is also the time when most active wasp nests die – early winter. Most, but not all! Some nests (around 5-10%) survive the winter and grow bigger and bigger during the following year – a couple of meters in size with a million cells. Now, that is a decent method of production of babies and adults. A nest that survives the winter has the advantage of carrying on without requiring the construction of a new nest. During May, young queens go on the look out for a hibernation site. During winter that will be a very quiet place (until you come cross that afore mentioned firewood stash in the shed). Overwintering Vespula Queens In spring, when temperatures become a little more agreeable, the queens will leave the hibernation spot and try locate some sustenance in the form of early-flowering plants with nectar. This will start the early-season cycle off – finding a small nest site and starting a brand-new nest is the very first priority. Chewing wood to create a version of paper mâché is a clever way the wasps produce cells where the larvae (young immature wasps) can live for 30 to 45 days, initially fed by the queen (later by the workers as the nest grows larger). Wasp chewing wood to masticate into cells. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It changed her life. In less than a year, a girl with a wicked sense of humor, a newfound love of flying, and a tough can-do attitude earned her pilot's license and headed for China to help against invading Japanese forces. In time, Hazel would become the first Asian American to fly with the Women Airforce Service Pilots. As thrilling as it may have been, it wasn't easy.In America, Hazel felt the oppression and discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act. In China's field of male-dominated aviation she was dismissed for being a woman, and for being an American. But in service to her country, Hazel refused to be limited by gender, race, and impossible dreams. Frustrated but undeterred she forged ahead, married Clifford Louie, a devoted and unconventional husband who cheered his wife on, and gave her all for the cause achieving more in her short remarkable life than even she imagined possible.American Flygirl is the untold account of a spirited fighter and an indomitable hidden figure in American history.

Both of us came up through rugby, through hard graft and old-school values. But over time, we've both had to evolve. As coaches. As leaders. As men.We talked about it all, from the early days and the systems that changed the game, to fear, fatherhood, grief, and what it means to lead with heart, not just tactics.Shaun opened up in a way I don't think many have heard before. And for me, this episode felt special.We get into:Why Shaun hates losing more than he loves winningWhat fear can teach you and where it can fuck youHow he sees leadership and masculinity nowThe shift from hardness to softnessCoaching at the highest level, and what really drives performanceIf you're interested in what makes a great coach, a great team, or just a good man, this one's worth a listen.The Making of a CompetitorGrowing up in Wigan, and early life lessons from his dadWhy grief became a driving forceThe difference between rugby league and union — and what it taught himCoaching with FireThe early years at Wasps and WalesLessons from working with Gatland, Farrell and coWhat still motivates him after all these yearsA Brother Beyond RugbyThe early days of my friendship with ShaunWhat we've learned from each other and where our paths crossed againThe moment he started embracing softnessLeadership that LastsWhat players really need from a coach todayThe evolution of Shaun's leadership styleWhy presence, empathy and intuition matter more than ever

Jolene Guthrie, founder of the knitwear fashion brand Jo-AMI (pronounced Jo Amy) joins me this week, talking about how you make knitwear cool, comfy and considered. From internships and positions with the likes of Hayley Scanlan and Tom Pigeon to working with major fashion houses in London, Jolene has built a career rooted in hands-on experience and a deep love for knitwear. Why knitwear? She's drawn to its magic—how and you can create a 3D piece from nothing but yarn. It also runs in the family with her great Aunt and Uncle owning Donbros Knitwear in Alloa in the 1960's. Jo-AMI began in the spare room of her mum and dad's house in Dundee, using a 1960s Dubied knitting machine. That ‘studio' has since grown, moving from WASPs to a shopfront in Douglas Court, and evolving into a brand that's known for its considered, colourful, and unisex designs. Alongside running Jo-AMI, Jolene also works part-time at The Knit Shop, a micro-manufacturing factory in Dundee. In this episode, we talk about the realities of building a creative business slowly and sustainably, how outsourcing her content to Greene Creatives has boosted sales and freed her up to focus on the making, and what it takes to scale without losing your core values. https://jo-ami.com/

Kingbirds are robin-sized flycatchers that excel at plucking insects from the air. They'll even tackle prey as big as cicadas. Finding naturally-camouflaged cicadas hidden among the leaves is hard work. But two species of kingbirds in Arizona found a shortcut — stealing them from cicada-killer wasps! The female wasps, nearly two inches long, paralyze cicadas and bring them to their burrows for their young to eat. The kingbirds have learned to ambush wasps carrying cicadas on the way back to their burrows.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

The course highlights the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen and Women's Airforce Service Pilots, the first Black and female pilots in military history. The training will no longer include diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) components, following President Donald Trump's executive order banning DEI programs. The suspension of the training sparked criticism, including from Tuskegee Airmen Inc., which strongly opposed and called the removal of content of these historic figures disappointing. They called on Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to act. In response, the Air Force clarified the pause was temporary to revise DEI-related materials and promised the legacy would remain part of the curriculum. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Pilgrim Society came to the United States from England over a century ago and has been covertly pulling the strings in American politics ever since. Born out of the British Roundtable Society, the focus of this group is to covertly control the Anglo-American Establishment from the shadows. William Ramsey explains how King Charles has taken the Pilgrim Society in a different direction since ascending to the throne, and that the WASPs are expanding their control into the climate agenda under the guise of saving the planet. What role is Tavistock playing in the push for environmental retrofitting, and how does the media further the agenda? William Ramsey lays it out in a logical way.
