EP05:

Kisha Coney:

Tonight's guest is one I met on Instagram.

Her positive and inspiring female working-mom posts caught my eye over a year and a half ago, while scrolling through the many amazing athletes of Mack Cycle, South Florida's Best Bike Shop.

This @momIdlike2looklike (her tag on IG) is more than just the perfect shade of lipstick on a century ride.

WAY more!

Tune in with your favorite beverage and find out HER Why in Tri-athlon: as a Mom, a Wife, a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner, a friend and a Black Woman who wants more in Triathlon for our African American Communities here in South Florida.

Special thanks to Kisha, and her husband Kevin, for taking time out of their very busy family and work schedules so Kisha could share with our listeners the WHY in her TRI.

I hope this resonates with other African American Moms out there, and all Moms, who have had a desire to go after a personal goal for themselves in swim, bike and run but maybe needed to hear they are not alone and they are totally worth going after it!

Episode 04:

Has anyone ever influenced you to get up and get after that goal you keep putting off?

Are you influencing others to go after their goals?

Tonight's Episode Chef Dimitiris Harvalis of Fit By Elia and Elia's @Pinecrest reveals his Grandmother's Authentic Greek Cooking inspired him to make a change after 20 years in the rigorous Night Club hospitality industry towards creating healthy gourmet cuisine in his restaurant(s) and catering companies. Inspiration struck Chef Dimitris again during his desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle and running in local Miami Marathon events. A good friend of his inspired him to go after not just one sport but 3 sports: Swim, Bike, Run in Triathlon!

Like the pairing of a good wine and a delicious dish; Chef Dimitris shares how the positive support from his wife, Patricia, their 3 active daughters, along side teammates and triathlon training direction from Coach Andy Clark of The Miami Tri Club and Alien Endurance Race Team, he has found healthy adventures of a lifetime.

SPECIAL THANKS: Chef Dimitris - during the first 3 months of Covid Quarantine here in Miami, Florida, he stepped up to the plate in a major way by contributing preparation of his healthy and nutritious meals at a discounted rate for the #miles4mealschallenge I created back in April. Thanks to Chef Dimitris we were able to deliver over 1,400 meals to our local Healthcare and Frontline Heroes. It was a complete honor to work along side Chef Dimitris and our many other teammates during what has been a historically unprecedented time. Watching so many come together for others, while maintaining social distance AND surpassing fitness goals, truly revived my sense of purpose while on this precious journey called life!

Episode 03:

Welcome Back to The Why We Tri Podcast!

Take a moment to hit that SUBSCRIBE button and leave me a review!!

Tonight's Podcast is with my fellow teammate, good friend and Badass Female Triathlete Competitor: Stephanie Reinhold!

She's a Multiple 70.3 World Ironman Championship Qualifier, a Multiple Kona Ironman World Champion Qualifier (2021 Kona Qualifier), 20x 70.3 Ironman Finisher, and a 20x Ironman Finisher...just to name a few of her MANY Triathlon accomplishments!

Some may ask where Stephanie finds the time to train while she is a full time Biomedical Engineer?!

Listen in to see how Stephanie tapped into an inner calling by only beginning this venture into the Triathlon World less than 10 years ago!!

I had to pause many times through out this interview to understand how she went from not knowing how to swim or how to ride on a road bike to qualifying time and time again in the top of her age group, as well as, overall female triathlete in multiple local and international races.

All with a smile on her face!

Special thanks to Stephanie for taking the time to sit down, open up and share her personal story with us to help motivate and inspire others out here searching for healthier lifestyles.

Also, thank you to her husband and Coach - Andy Clark for introducing me to Stephanie back in 2016. Since then I have been doing my best to keep smiling through all the training, just as Stephanie shows us.

Last but not least, thank you to Stephanie's parents: Susan & Mark (and the pups), your continued support over the years for Stephanie, Andy, as well as for our entire Triathlon Team has been admirable as a parent of 3 daughters myself.

**********************************

Thank you all for your continued support as I venture into the Podcast World!!

If someone you know is looking for a healthier lifestyle change SHARE THIS PODCAST!

It might help to ignite that fire they need to get started and Tri - ANYTHING!

EP:02 Second Chances with Joaquin Duro

In Tonight’s episode I am joined by my triathlon teammate, husband to Farrar Duro DOM, FABORM, father of four amazing kids, Vice President of Digital Telemundo Desportes, Kidney Transplant Warrior & Ironman Finisher; Joaquin Duro.

As Miami turns up the heat during this Quarantine Time, we both bring our favorite and most essential beverage to this Zoom podcast: WATER! 

As you will hear in Joaquin’s stories, staying hydrated is key!

Joaquin’s introduction to the world of triathlon was unexpected and came shortly after a kidney transplant ignited him with motivation full of second chances. Joaquin’s story is not a common one but one that resonates with many of us, looking for those second chances life has to offer. Many times Joaquin was told no, not happening, not today and yet he continued to persevere towards an inner drive to show up and carry his feet over those finish lines. He even took a pause from triathlon after the loss of his father and talked about how that was an important part of his journey into coming back, when the time was right and he was ready. Joaquin opens up with how the support of his wife and children gives him the strength to keep going, as well as helps him to pick those destination Ironman races as family vacations. Making each Ironman Race an adventure for the entire family to enjoy.

Special thanks to Joaquin and his wife, Farrar, for spending some Zoom time with me and shedding some light on Why We Tri!

A WhyWeTriPodcast.com Production:

On this episode, I sit down with 18x Ironman Finisher and Head Coach of The Miami Tri Club and Alien Endurance Tri Team, Andy Clark.

We both kick back with one of our favorite beverages (Veza Sur ) and talk about his story and how he got involved in the triathlon world. Not every coach fits every athlete and vise versa, which is why we discuss the importance of finding the right coach. Coach Andy gives us his top favorite destination Races, as well as, some pretty funny unexpected experiences that have happened along the way!

We also talk about the #miles4mealschallenge I created with Coach Andy, his Miami Tri Club and our Team Chef Dimitirs Harvalis ( Fit By Elia and Elias @Pinecrest ) to help motivate our team of triathletes stay active (virtually) and help feed our #HealthcareHeroes in the face of this pandemic. Chef Dimitris came through in a major way, offering to feed our #FrontlineHeroes for only $5 per meal. Coach Andy set a team goal of cycling 10,000 miles in just 10 days, while we fundraise to feed 2,000 of local Healthcare Heroes healthy and nutritious meals.

Click here to donate: #miles4mealschallenge

$5 = 1 Healthy Meal // $25 = 5 Healthy Meals
