When Things Go South: Fitspeek 214 with Adam Feigh + Deb Eckhouse

If you’ve been racing long enough, you know that sooner or later you’ll have a race that doesn’t go well.

There can be a million reasons for this: not enough training, too much training, pacing problems, equipment problems, bad luck, the list goes on and on.

A few weeks ago, two pro triathletes—Adam Feigh, Deb Eckhouse—and I all had races that didn’t go well. There’s was Ironman Cozumel, mine…not so epic, a local 10K.

On the podcast we discuss what went wrong and, more importantly, how to avoid the same mistakes.

Adam’s fix seems clear, but for Deb and me, the answers are still out there… somewhere.”

Of course, just because the last race you did wasn’t the greatest doesn’t mean your whole season was a bust. In retrospect, both Deb and Adam very solid seasons and we’ll hear their recaps.

We also talk about our eternal quest for more sponsors and what our race plans are for 2025. Fitspeek 214 is a lesson on resiliency. Hear it now by pressing play below.

Fitspeek 213: Clint Lien

If you’ve been around triathlon since the Sri Chinmoy days of the early ’80s, you’ve seen it all. And if you’re coaching in Canada’s triathlon hotspot, Victoria, you’re in a league of your own.

Clint Lien is that coach—the main man for Mercury Rising Triathlon and mentor to many of Canada’s top triathletes. He’s also a fellow writer for Triathlon Magazine, specializing in swimming.

This week, we Fitspeek with Clint about how he got into the sport as an athlete, coach, writer, and museum curator!

As a self-proclaimed Hydrosloth, I had to ask Clint how we older folks can get faster in the water. His answer? It was somewhat unexpected but very honest.
