Why We Tri | Endurance Sports Podcast for All Levels

Welcome BACK to the Relaunch of Why We Tri Podcast! 

It feels great to be back bringing you MORE motivational stories that keep you moving!

On today’s episode we are staying local here in the heart of Miami with Anthony S. Hearn. Anthony joins us promptly with his favorite beverage in hand, similarly prepared to the one he was raised with in Tennessee. We quickly learn about Anthony's back ground in sports and where his competitive edge began. Anthony also is met with physical challenges enduring an injury keeping him from his favorite field: the Soccer field. Anthony shares how he found triathlon and takes us a bit deeper to the heart of his WHY. Listen to how Anthony's passion for the arts, desire for giving back to local communities in great need, all help to fuel his determination towards crushing physical triathlon goals in US Triathlon Age Group Nationals. Visit the links below to learn how you can #Tri4Good and help Anthony in his quest to help: Arts for Learning Inc. and Dade Legal Aid's Youth Advocacy Services.

EP27: Living Out Her 'Father's List' & Aligning with Her Own Why in Life

 Laura Carney

Have you ever lost someone you wish you could have one more conversation with?

To ask them their thoughts, their dreams, and what is on their Bucket List?

My next guest Zooms in from Montclair, NJ: Laura Carney.

She is an author, magazine journalist, copy editor, activist and plant-based athlete, and a daughter who endured the tragic loss of her father at the age of 25. Her father was tragically taken when a distracted 17year old driver hit her father's car. After his sudden passing, Laura and her brother find a Bucket List her Dad wrote in 1978, the year Laura was born. Laura shares her quest to check items off of her 'Father's List' just before she was adding a new role to her life resume: Wife. Tune in to listen how her quest takes her on a journey towards running races, open water swimming, long distance cycling events and soon, an Ironman. Laura has since completed many items on her 'Father's List' and documents her adventures on her blog: My Father's List. 

Laura is currently turning her quest into a book.

In my Magic 8 Ball I see a movie/documentary in Laura's future.

As a special nod to my mom and Laura's dad, both second or third generation Irish, I wanted to get this up on St. Patrick's Day. 

Our parents never met here on earth, but we are both certain they are watching over us as we converse and carry on their legacies.

EP25: Bill Christy, CEO of Challenge North America

Conversational Pace Convo with Bill Christy reminded me of how most of our world crisis in history that lead to the great technological innovations and advances in history. We are witnessing this here and now, not only with Covid Vaccines, but in Triathlon, as well.

Bill opens up and shares his personal introduction to the World of Triathlon. He reveals how endurance sports, NASCAR, the Challenge-Family Corporation , PTO (Professional Triathlon Organization ) and the active support from his beautiful family has all played an important roll in changing Triathlon as we know it. Triathlon has not been the greatest spectators sport. Nor has it been the most supportive sport in regards to the pros. Finally, here in the US it has lacked a festival energy that Bill guarantees for every level of age group athlete.

Homework:

Acknowledge -

Your Circle: Draw a Circle. Place who keeps showing up for you and cheering for you inside your Circle. Those who do not or have not place on the outside of your Circle. That's it. No need to do anything. Just Acknowledge!

Good Habits: What are your Good Habits already in place? Write them down first. No need to change those. Just Acknowledge.

Bad Habits: Simple ones. What do you keep doing that you want to change? Just write them down and Acknowledge them.

Tune in to the Next Zone 1 to see what we will do with these!

EP27: Laura Carney

Have you ever lost someone you wish you could have one more conversation with? To ask them their thoughts, their dreams, and maybe what would be on their Bucket List?

My next guest, an author, magazine journalist, copy editor, activist and plant-based athlete, endured the tragic loss of her father when she was 25 years old. Upon finding a list her father wrote on the year she was born, we soon learn Laura's deeper connection with her Dad's message and how she set out to complete each item and while documenting her journey on her blog called: My Father's List. Which is set to come out as a book, and in my opinion, a movie at a date TBD.

As a special nod to my mom and Laura's dad, both second or third generation Irish, I will release this episode on St. Patrick's Day. Our parents never met here on earth, but we are both certain they are watching over us as we converse and carry on their legacies.

Have a great start to your week!

EP25: Evolving Triathlon: Conversational Pace with Bill Christy, CEO of Challenge North America

It's a brisk March Monday morning here in Miami, FL. Bill Christy, CEO of Challenge North America, a triathlete at heart, graciously Zoomed in from his Daytona International Speedway Office with his Favorite Morning Beverage in hand, to share his Why in Tri-athlon. We are just 4 days out from Challenge-Family's inaugural event: Challenge Miami Triathlon. This historical triathlon festival is set to take place in Miami's very own Homestead-Miami Speedway. Only 35 minutes from Miami International Airport, making it a top Triathlon Triathlon Destination for years to come.

Bill opens up and shares his personal introduction to the World of Triathlon. He reveals how endurance sports, NASCAR, the Challenge-Family Corporation , PTO (Professional Triathlon Organization ) and the active support from his beautiful family has all played an important roll in changing Triathlon as we know it. Triathlon has not been the greatest spectators sport. Nor has it been the most supportive sport in regards to the pros. Finally, here in the US it has lacked a festival energy that Bill guarantees for every level of age group athlete.

Live Streaming of Challenge Daytona results, as well as televised production results, proved the idea that was once a dream, was in fact more than just a dream. The numbers from Challenge Daytona were so convincing, NBC recently informed Bill and the entire Challenge Family, they are in for a few years to come. We are witnessing history in the making of how dreams are born, dreams are created, dreams are invested in, cultivated and how dreams are driven into existence. NASCAR, a past time that is just about as American as Apple Pie, has happily opened it's doors to Challenge-Family, and the PTO (Professional Triathlon Organization). This holds great hope for pro-triathletes that have, for years been capitalized on for their accomplishments. This transformation in triathlon will unite a strong bond between pro-triathletes and their fans, as NASCAR has done for years between Race Car Driver and their dedicated fan following.

I am excited to say, this is all just a dap of "tobassco" hot sauce in what Bill Christy and the Challenge-Family have planned for here in North America.

Season 2: Episode 4

12x Ironman Finisher, 7x 100mile Ultra Runner, Double Ironman Oregon Anvil Finisher, Author of 'Tripolar,' Coach and Science Teacher, Father, Husband, 14+ years Sober and Mental Health Awareness Advocate

"Ultra" Tim Davis

BEFORE LISTENING:

I highly recommend reading or listening to "Ultra" Tim's Book: 'Tripolar: The Story of a Bipolar Triathlete.'

In this episode we Zoom on over to Los Angeles, California where "Ultra" Tim Davis has just logged in with his favorite beverage. And I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say I am extremely curious as to what this 7x 100mile Ultra Runner has as his favorite beverage. Tim and I jump right in to his page turning autobiography that will have your HR in Zone5 within the first few chapters. Tim bravely shares the traumatic and tragic loss of his father in a sudden accident when Tim was only 13 years old. Tim endured years of blame for the accidental death of his father. He also endured relentless physical and verbal abuse by a family member he struggled to look up to. Drugs and Alcohol were Tim's coping mechanisms from a young age and on into adulthood.

Tune in and hear how with the loving support of his devoted wife, Mariah, Tim's Bipolar diagnosis and Mental Healthcare Treatment along side his venture into Triathlon and Ultra Running gave new meaning to Tim's overall WHY in LIFE.

Extremely grateful for Tim's bravery in sharing his story on my show. Tim and his family's courage to reveal the raw truth about the effects of mental illness and addiction provides a beacon of hope for so many that are in the dark.
