Pat Landymore: Fitspeek 75 – The Skaha Lake Ultra Swim

What’s a farm boy from Torrington, Alberta doing in the middle of Skaha Lake on a Sunday morning in August? Writing a new chapter in his life, of course! In Fitspeek 75, we introduce you to the Pat Landymore. Back in the 1990’s Pat re-invented himself from a 2 pack a day smoker to a Kona Qualifying Ironperson.

Life of course, has its way of throwing wrenches into the best laid plans of men and engineers and Pat was no exception, having to overcome challenges in many aspects of his life, including suffering a serious stroke a few years ago. Rising to the challenge of the stroke, Pat decided the best path to rehabilitation was found in the swimming pool, not the couch, and Pat Landymore version 3.0 was born. Hear Pat’s inspiring journey of his Ultra Swim preparation and his race day adventures by pressing play below.
