Month: April 2017

Over the weekend in Lima, Peru local triathlete Nathan Killam competed in the 70.3 Half-Ironman distance race. In a race stacked with international talent including the likes of Jessie Thomas, Ivan Rena, and Andy Potts, Nathan carved out a very respectable 3:55 clocking to place 7th overall. Needless to say his sponsors over in Pitt Meadows at F2C and us at Fitspeek are overjoyed with the good result.

By pressing play below, you can hear about Nathan’s penchant for going fast downhill on his bicycle, his triathlon heroes, and the heavy-duty (mechanic) work ethic that helped him become one of our fastest long-distance triathletes.

In this installment of Fitspeek, Kevin Watt has an interview with Para-Olympian Cycling Pilot Joanie Caron. Fitspeek’s newest member Zack Neufeld explains how stress in racing is good for us. Kevin Watt shouts out to local athletes, including Joe Crocker! Bob Babbitt returns to tell us how he founded the Challenged Athletes Foundation and about his interviews with a young Lance Armstrong.

Running this 3 ring circus is Kevin Heinze, who will also be giving you the new Wenting’s Word of The Week and the race results from the Heritage to Hatzic race (some fast times and ATC domination!).  Lend us your ears! Fitspeek 12 can be heard by pressing play below.

We are happy to announce that Zack Neufeld is the newest member of the Fitspeek Family. Zack is on the fast-track to becoming the Fraser Valley’s favourite (and quite possibly the fastest) triathlete with a solid run, improving bike (thanks Bryan), amazing swim, and a good-ole-prairie-boy work ethic.

Zack is also a Psychology major at UFV in Abbostford and the voice of our new segment called, “Between The Ears.” In the segment, Zack will be examining the mental and spiritual aspects of training and racing. Welcome to Fitspeek, Zack!

In addition to their ever-popular Wednesday night races at the Mission Speedway, the Phoenix Velo Training Group also offers newcomers an opportunity to experience the thrills and joys of cycling – all in a very safe environment.

Tuesday nights feature three distinct training opportunities. There is a) skills training for youngsters b) training and practice for adults interested in racing, and c) a session for folks who just want to cycle and perhaps do a Gran Fondo at some time.

In this feature interview, Fitspeek’s Kevin Heinze speaks with the ever-passionate Bruce Wenting about his coaching experiences, what a person can expect if they come out on a Tuesday, and of course coffee!
