Fitspeek 122: Perfectionism – a double-edged sword (in conversation with Ironman Champion Cody Beals).

Ok, ok, so that’s a hell of a long title.

Fitspeek 122 captures quality time and insightful moments with 2019 Triathlon Magazine’s Athlete of the Year, Cody Beals, who I think has a lot in common with this other dude from Ontario.

Not your average tri-joc interview, we cut through the crap of “I train because I wanna win Kona some day” bravado and try (successfully?) to find out what leads folks like Cody into trying to eek out a life as a pro triathlete.

We talk Guelph, Queen’s, rivalries, fears, dreams, beers miles, what pisses him off, and of course the animal question.

Also on the program, fresh from his pain cave, Abbotsford Triathlon Club coach, Mikey Ross drops by for his Top Five List. Kick off your 2021 with 46 minutes of sugar-free Fitspeek by pressing play below.

Speedfreak! Angela Naeth Targets Challenge Daytona. (Fitspeek 116)

We’re not sure what’s in that cool, clear, British Columbia water but it seems to have mystical qualities, nourishing & hydrating some of the fastest cyclists in triathlon.

There’s Rach McBride from Vancouver who has been stomping cyclists of all genders, most recently at the Canadian Championships in Ontario. From Penticton, there is Jen Annet, the Ventum-riding phenom, who is the current female world record-holder for the Ironman distance. And then, from Prince George, there is the mighty Angela Naeth. At about 5′ 5″ and 115 pounds you’d expect her to be a great runner but it’s her speed on the bike that has made her a multiple Ironman and 70.3 winner.

On this week’s Fitspeek, we chat with Angela Naeth about the big race in Florida that she’ll be doing in December, her most embarrassing moments in the sport, and of course…. what’s in that water. We end off the program with some ninja mind tricks for racing & training courtesy of Dr. E. Reeh in Between the Ears. Get it going by pressing that play button below.
