  • The Triathlete Hour: Ep. 28 - Skye Moench believes in herself
    This week we talk to Skye Moench. The Salt Lake City based accountant quit her fancy job and turned pro when she was still an age-grouper because she believed she could be great. Last year, she won her first big title—the Ironman European Championships—in dramatic fashion, when Sarah True collapsed a half-mile from the finish line.
    Skye was set to make her debut in Kona when, three weeks before, on a training ride, she found herself laying on the side of the road—with no idea how she got there. She talks to us about the crazy crash, the intense recovery, and the emotional ups-and-downs of getting back in the saddle just as COVID hit.
    Plus, Skye helped organize last week's DIY pro race—the Bear Lake Brawl—which was the first pro prize purse in the U.S. since the start of COVID. Here's our story about the event: https://www.triathlete.com/events/come-hell-or-cold-water-pros-brawl-adapt-at-bear-lake/
    Skye tells us what she did to go from pretty good to really good, why she's always believed in herself, and what it's like to sit on the Pro Triathletes Organization's board with the big names of the sport.

  • Gear Up: ep. 3 - High-tech goggles and the future of endurance technology
    Welcome to the second episode of "Gear Up," Triathlete magazine's new all-gear, all-the-time podcast where we dig into hot gear topics in the swim, bike, run, and multispor world.
    This week we talk to Peter Monahan, the founder and CEO of OnCourse goggles, about how his clever invention can help you swim straighter and faster through the use of some pretty high-tech concepts.
    Peter also shares with us a harrowing tale about how he first got involved in watersports and water safety tech to help create a device that was intended to save children from drowning, based on his own son’s near-fatal accident.
    Finally, we’ll get an inside look into some very unconventional uses of the technology he originally developed to help you swim in a straight line—how the same tech could help triathletes with a common swim technique issue. And we get a sneak peak into how he might use his unique technology in the future to make you fast outside of the water as well

  • The Triathlete Hour: Ep. 27 - Angela Naeth doesn't give up
    In 2017, Angela Naeth contracted Lyme disease. After winning countless 70.3 and full Ironman races, she struggled to walk and suffered from mysterious debilitating pain. But in 2018, she came back to get 8th at Kona.
    Now she's going through intense treatment during this off year. She tells us about what it's been like, how she decided to become a pro triathlete at the age of 27, and why she wants to keep racing forever. She also talks about all the different projects she's been involved in—and how her age group team brings her joy and camaraderie.
    For more info on Lyme disease, which we talk about extensively:
    CDC's symptoms of untreated Lyme: https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs_symptoms/index.html
    LymeDisease.org: https://www.lymedisease.org/
    And first we chat with our senior editor, Chris Foster, who headed to the first big pro race in the US this weekend. He tells us why small grassroots races are attracting huge and competitive pro fields, and how this might be the future of the sport.

  • The Triathlete Hour: ep. 26 - Justin Metzler and Jeanni Seymour are figuring it out
    In our first in-person interview at our studio in Boulder, we chat with pro triathlon couple Justin Metzler and Jeanni Seymour—who have 15 70.3 wins between them.
    The young duo have had a few breakthroughs in the last few years and a few disappointments. We talk about their five-year plans, how they're still figuring out what works and what doesn't, and what it's like to move halfway around the world on your own. Jeannie also opens up about how she struggled some with her mental health, especially after a disappointing Kona debut last year, and how Justin has helped her find a breakthrough in her performances. Good thing she agreed to go on a pity date with him!
    Plus, they both have different answers to our 'would you rather' question.
    And first up, we chat with one of our writers, Susan Lacke, about the second installment in her Endurance Geek series—all on the science of sports bras. Read the whole here: https://www.triathlete.com/culture/supportive-science-the-quest-to-build-a-better-sports-bra/
