Fitspeek 178: The collaboration episode

In a first for both of us, fellow podcaster Larry Ryan and I do a joint program. Fitspeek listeners will be introduced to one of the most important folks in the Canadian ultra-triathlon community.

Larry and I ask each other how we became interested in endurance sports, how we became podcasters, and how all roads seem to lead to this guy!

Near the end of the podcast, Larry announces some very exciting news for ultra-distance athletes from Canada and the rest of the world. A new ultra-distance race event!

Listeners will be given an opportunity to get to the front of the registration line for the new 515! That can be you! Hear the details and the stories behind the details by pressing play right here.

Tested in the tunnel and on the race course, the SP by A2 bikes delivers! It’s aero. It’s affordable. It’s available! Click on the bike to read more about your next tri or aero road bike.

The Purple Tiger gets Unbound: Fitspeek 177 with Rach McBride

Time has been kind to Vancouver’s Rach McBride.

Not only did Rach emerge from the Covid-Era heathier + wiser, 2022 turned out to be a most amazing year.

Though we are only half done, 2023 has been an exceptional year for McBride as well, with an exciting finish to the Half Ironman distance race in St. George. You can see some heart-palpitating numbers here.

Numbers can be pretty boring stuff on a podcast, so I get Rach to tell the story behind the numbers.

As you can imagine, there was an abundance of drama playing out during the last few miles of the run at the North American Championships.

So what’s with the “Unbound” part of the title of this podcast? As it turns out Unbound is one of North America’s premier gravel races. Rach tells the story of a purple tiger (not a cowardly lion) and the Kansas mud and muck, exciting listening for sure! Hear it now by pressing play below.

If you are an all-rounder, who enjoys competing in triathlons as well as fondos and road races, the RP is your Swiss Army Knife of bicycles.

Tackle the mid-week roadie ride, then slap on a pair of clip-on aerobars to race triathlon on Sunday. The RP does it all, and at a price you can afford.
