This week on Fitspeek, we spend 45 minutes with one of Canada’s premier endurance athletes, Kelowna’s Meaghan Hackinen. This unstoppable athlete was prepared to go to California this fall to defend her crown as the World 24 Hour Female Time Trial Champion, then Covid struck! No, not her, but her boyfriend. She had to isolate after that and was unable to do the race.
With all that training done, and after all heath precautions were honoured, she wanted to see what she was capable of, so she found a route, did some planning, started riding, and then______! You’ll have to give the show a listen to find out what happened.
Fortunately these were about the only 2 things that did go wrong for Meaghan this year. In addition to improving her riding on the road, Meaghan (like many of us) found gravel and decided to take on one of the most demanding races in the province, the BC Epic 1000. Not that it was only 1000 K long, it was also held during that oppressive heat dome that we had back in early July. Hear about Meaghan’s conquests and more by pressing that button down here!
