Think that the indoor trainer is just for cold, rainy training days? Think again! Claudia is the Zwift National Champion who will be riding this weekend at the CVR World Cup in Vancouver for a chance to win $10,000. Before Claudia was kicking ass inside, she was crushing it outside as well. She's qualified for both Boston and IM 70.3 World Champ's three times, and has some pretty fast PR's from IronMan to the Olympic distance. When she's not racing, she's also coaching athletes of all levels and abilities. You can learn more about her coaching at http://cbarperformance.com/

This was such a fun episode and i'm excited to finally drop it! After finishing my first "A" race of the season, i wanted to record an audio race report...but rather than listening to me ramble for 30 minutes, i was fortunate to bring on my good friend, Erik Barone, so we could give our perspectives on how our races went down. Erik finished first in the Clydesdale division and we get to race again next month in Boston. This is such a fun conversation; i hope you enjoy it as much as i did!

“Don’t wait for your life changing moment.” With a backpack full of 30 Betty Designs jerseys, Kristen made her way to Kona to see if her dream could become a reality...and a week later, her iconic brand was launched. This is a great conversation with an amazing woman who has made the most out of every opportunity that came her way. From leading group workouts on Zwift, to building a community of badass women, Kristin does everything with 100% passion and energy. www.bettydesigns.com

"I was speaking the wrong language; I wasn't a chef or a dietitian." While working as a sport scientist and coach for a professional cycling team, Dr. Allen Lim started making his own training food and sports drinks from "scratch" for the cyclists because too many of the pre-packaged sports bars and drinks that were given to them were laden with artificial ingredients and literally making them sick to their stomach. Allen was able to go back to his familial roots of sitting around a table and enjoying real food and combine that with his education and background in the science of fueling our bodies to perform at their peak. He started Skratch Labs with a simple mission – to develop and sell food and drinks that taste great, that are made from real ingredients and that solve problems for active people.

After going through the surgery of double amputation, Sidney was lying in the recovery room and was the watching the inspirational athletes competing in IronMan Kona...and knew that was the goal he would strive for. He could barely walk, but he knew he wanted to swim, bike and then run. Two years later, Sidney has competed in numerous tri's including three at the 70.3 distance. He'll be running his first marathon next month raising money for operation #lendaleg with the ultimate goal of Kona. Follow Sidney at www.instagram.com/tri_nofeet

What can i say about this conversation except that Libby is one of the most positive people i have ever met. Here is a woman who grew up in Costa Rica caring for her family, while trying to further her education...and eventually made her way to the U.S. But not before living in Canada for a few years, getting married and having 5 children! Her mantra: Pura Vida. Listen to our convo to learn more about what that means and how we should all live that way. Follow Libby at www.instagram.com/iron_tica As always, a big shoutout to Zane's Cycles for supporting my show. Find them at www.zanes.com.

I truly believe that Instagram was created so we can get to know people like Liz. After you listen to our Pod convo, go follow her and i beg you to find one picture that won't make you laugh. This BADASS single Mom is a 5x marathon finisher, 3x IronMan finisher, and just completed her 8th IM70.3. This is a fun conversation about putting 110% effort into training and life...and having fun along the way, while not taking yourself too seriously.

"A nerd in jock's clothing." After graduating top of his college class with a degree in physics, Cody decided to forge a different path and embarked on the journey of a professional triathlete. He's had his fair share of up's (recently won IM 70.3 Taiwan) and down's and has documented every juicy detail on his blog...including what it takes to live on a Pro Triathlete's budget. This is a fun conversation about humility and balance; and putting yourself out there for all to see.
