  • The Triathlete Hour - Ep. 7: Linsey Corbin & consistency
    In ep. 7 of The Triathlete Hour, Ironman champ and American record holder Linsey Corbin talks to us during her mini "triathlon sabbatical" about Bend, food, and how her husband's early Youtube videos helped her marketing.
    Linsey using an injury right now to practice some self-reflection, figure out her why, and focus on being Linsey the Person—not just Linsey the Triathlete. Plus, we chat about how she's managed to be one of the longest lasting female pros at the top level, returning to Kona 13 times, and how the women's field has improved so much it's forced her to up her game as well.
    First, though, our host Kelly O'Mara and endurance sports marketing expert Peter Abraham try to find some answers the big questions triathletes have right now: When will races come back and what will they look like?

  • The Triathlete Hour - ep. 6: Eric Lagerstrom & Paula Findlay live the van life
    Triathlon power couple Eric Lagerstrom & Olympian Paula Findlay are well known for their race results, Youtube videos, and their decked out van they travel around the U.S. and Canada in.
    In episode 6 of the Triathlete Hour, Eric & Paula talk to us about how they headed to Arizona for a training camp in their van — and found themselves in a unique situation when the COVID-19 pandemic swept through the world. They've been camping, training with their quaran-team, and re-finding their love of the sport. What is it that inspires them to keep going day after day, year after year?
    Plus, what it's like when one of them does well at a race and the other doesn't and how they deal with spending 24 hours/day together.
    First, though, we have something a little different for you this week: Former pro Dr. Tamsin Lewis talked to us a few weeks ago about contracting COVID-19 and what she would want triathletes to know. We're sharing some of her voice memos here.

    She talks to us from her house in LA about why she doesn't ride in the rain, how the World Championships in Nice stressed her out, and if she thinks pro triathletes can be a little boring. Plus, she was preparing to do her first Ironman in St. George — what now?
    Senior editor Chris Foster joins us first, though, to help figure out if too many triathletes are getting quarantine injured, why, and what they can do about it.

    First, though, Kelly and Sara Gross try to answer the question: Are triathletes taking the social distancing rules seriously? And how do you get intrinsically motivated if there are no races on the horizon?
