Fitspeek 210: BC Summer Games Athletes. Part B – Lily Edstrom

This weekend in Spain, the world’s top short-course triathletes will clash at the World Championships. Many of the Canadian athletes racing began their journey in the junior ranks of their provincial triathlon associations.

In our province, Tri-BC does a pretty fine job of nurturing our talent. Over the summer the BC Summer Games were held in Maple Ridge. It was a chance for the youth to train for an “A” race and see how well they stack up against their peers.

This week on the podcast we introduce Fitspeek listeners to Kelowna’s Lily Edstrom. She was one of the participants at the games. In our interview we delve into her triathlon background, some adventures (and misadventures) from the games, and her affinity for this animal.

With her strong work ethic and passion for multisport, we may soon see Lily on the start line of the world championships. Get to know her by clicking on the play button below.

Whether you are a short-course or long-course triathlete, the Saturday Fueling ap will save you money by helping you mix your own fuel for training and racing.

Fitspeek 209: BC Summer Games Athletes. Part A – Lucas Pearson

Over the summer the Olympics were held in France.

Just as important, and much closer to home, in fact in Maple Ridge, the BC Summer Games were held.

One of the sports in the games is triathlon—actually triathlon, duathlon, and aquathlon. I was fortunate enough to be the race announcer at the games and witnessed firsthand just how fast and enthusiastic the up-and-comers in our province are! Despite suffering a spill on the bike during the duathlon, Victoria’s Lucas Pearson still had a great BC Summer Games experience and is already training for the upcoming multisport season. Tune in, as we present the future of BC triathlon!

For your next race or gravel adventure, it’s the Rogue by A2.
