Fitspeek 201: Records Tumble at Ultraman Canada

A bit of Canadian triathlon history was made yesterday afternoon, as Penticton Triathlete Jen Annett delivered on her notion she may do something “special on the bike.”

She posted the fastest-ever female day 1 bike split at Ultraman Canada. Her time of just under 4 hours and 10 minutes is now in the record books.

To put that in perspective, Jen’s time yesterday was the 3rd fastest day 1 bike split ever at the event. Impressive indeed when Ultraman has been running for 4 decades.

Also having a fine day out on the course yesterday was Caroline Bloom from Texas. We had a chance to chat with her about why she got into ultra triathlon and her favourite (and least favourite) parts about training.

When the weather warms up, salt is your friend. In this short video Dr. Alex Harrison explains why and how much you should put in your bottles.
Whether it is spring, summer, or fall, the Rogue by A2 is your all-season/all-road beast to gt you down the road comfortably + quickly. Learn more and spec it out for yourself by clicking on the bike above.

Fitspeek 172 Susie + Mikey

This week we have 30 minutes of information + inspiration to keep you motivated through our Canadian winter. First off on the show is Susie Ernsting. After a few years of cancelled races due to Covid, Susie finally got to experience what it was like to be the race director of Ironmman Canada.

Being any race director is not for the feint of heart and being the race director of the most anticipated race in years is even moreso. Susie has some interesting behind the scenes stories from the event. She also lets us know about next year’s bike course as well as what other things are brewing in the M1 Sports Management camp.

Also on the show is ATC Coach Mikey Ross. We are excited about his new series the 3 Rs. As endurance athletes, we are pretty addicted to going hard. In this week’s segment, Mikey explains not only the physical but the psychological benefits of interval training. The Susie + Mikey show starts with the press of the button below.
