Ramon is one of the leaders of Team DetermiNation, which organizes athletic events including … Continue reading "Podcast #76 – Ramon Bermo"

Laura Stebbins and I have a lot in common.  We both finished Ironman Lake Placid last year, we both have the same triathlon coach, and we both live about a mile away from each other and never knew until just recently.  It’s no surprise we had a lot to discuss. Laura has come along way … Continue reading "Podcast #75 – Laura Stebbins"
