What is a Mudskipper? Are you a Mudskipper? (Fitspeek 218 with Chris Ostenstad)

One of the cool inventions in multisports in the past decade or so has been the swim/run event.

There are a couple of names for doing this crazy event, some are called Mudskippers and in this episode of Fitspeek we learn about them from local swim and triathlon coach, Chris Ostenstad

Chris hails from Port Moody and she not only talks the talk, she swims the swim – being an accomplished ultra-swimmer as well.

In our conversation, Chris + I talk about her swim adventures. We also get the scoop on the Canaqua Mudskipper events taking place near us. One of them is the epic Fresh and Salty, which takes participants from Sasamat Lake to the Pacific and back!

Fitspeek 217

One of Canada’s longest-running triathlons is Penticton’s Peach Classic. The race has had its share of setbacks (Covid) but 2025 promises to be one of the biggest years in its five-decade long history.

Over the years, both Steve Brown (organizer) and Steve King (announcer) have been a big part of the event. In this week’s podcast we get a historical perspective on the race from Steve and Steve.

We also have current race director Dave Michael on the show. He gives us an update on this year’s registrations and reveals plans for 2026 and beyond.
