  • The Triathlete Hour - ep. 5: Holly Lawrence & coming back from injuries
    In ep. 5 of the Triathlete Hour, 70.3 World Champ Holly Lawrence joins our host Kelly O'Mara to explain how coming back from a devastating injury helped prepare her for uncertainty during this COVID-19 pandemic.
    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.

  • The Triathlete Hour: ep. 4 - Tim O'Donnell goes viral
    In ep. 4 of The Triathlete Hour, Kona runner-up Tim O'Donnell talks about what it's like to go viral for tripping over his wife, Kona champ Mirinda Carfrae's power cord during her virtual race.
    Plus, he chats with Kelly about getting started in triathlon at the military academy, when he felt like he made it as a pro, how he and Rinny met, and how they're getting through the uncertainty right now. Hint: It involves wine.
    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?

    In ep. 3 of The Triathlete Hour, multi-time Kona podium finisher Ben Hoffman joins us to talk about how he got where he is today.
    Ben gets philosophical about what it takes to win Ironman, how the top guys are friends, and why he decided to try to be a pro triathlete in the first place. He and our host, Kelly, reminisce about the 2006 Collegiate National Championships — which launched him into his career. And he explains the concept of the 'virtual race resume.' Plus, they talk about the Pro Triathletes Organization and how Ben's big goal before he retires is to win just once on the Big Island.
    First, though, Kelly chats with Jordan Blanco about the new Ironman virtual racing, how it works, what they liked, and what they think needs to get fixed.
