Fitspeek 149: From the ditch to the podium with Martin Caron

This past Victoria Day weekend while many Canadians were camping or travelling, one of Canada’s top age group triathletes, Martin Caron, was sitting… in a ditch collecting his thoughts and brushing off the trauma of a bike crash. After a trip to the hospital, he was told he had a broken collarbone.

Not one to take setbacks lying down, Caron embarked on an ambitious recovery plan that involved rest, nutrition, and patience. The plan worked exceedingly well and in late June he placed 2nd in his age group at the 70.3 race in Couer D’ Alene, Idaho.

He followed that up this past weekend with a trouncing of his competitors at the Salem 70.3 event. His winning margin of almost 20 minutes was a solid indication that his recovery was complete. This week on Fitspeek, we chat with the champ on the ups and downs of the past 18 months leading up to his win in Salem.

And for our interview segment

We go the distance (in this case 50 minutes) with 2 of Canada’s age-group triathletes, Dave Matheson and Martin Caron.
