I finally broke down and invited my ex wife Lucy Ryan to the podcast.
Lucy has become one of the top female ultra athletes in Canada taking on five 515 events and a number of ultra marathons. She was the 9th Canadian woman to complete Badwater 135 and has also competed at Brazil 135, a race that follows the most difficult segment of the Caminho da Fé or Path of the Faith, the longest Pilgrimage in Brazil. It travels over the Mantiqueira Mountains, and has 30,000 feet of cumulative ascent and 28,000 feet of cumulative descent, with only 10 flat miles in the race.
We talk about how she came to find triathlon and why she pushed to go farther and farther in ultras. We also discuss the various ways in which her body has forced her to “limit” what she now does. Like hiking at Kilimanjaro as a member of the Kidney Donor Athletes program.
Steve King Stories features Dr Toni Barstis, professor of chemistry and physics and Ultraman competitor.
