515 : The Ultra Podcast
The best part of attending a 515km / Ultraman distance event is the life-long friendships you leave with. These events attract remarkable athletes from all walks of life and all corners of the globe. 515 : The Ultra Podcast invites you into the lives of these people who make up the Ultra family through conversations hosted by Larry Ryan, race director of Ultra TriFest Canada and the new Ultra 515 World Wide Championships held in Whistler, BC.
Join us if you are an Ironman with an aspiration toward the 515km distance; if you are a seasoned veteran of Ultratriathlon; or you just want to fill your training hours listening to inspiring stories, about epic events, told by interesting people. There will be plenty of take-aways for your own training and/or your bucket list. For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.com

515 : The Ultra Podcast
S4E4 -- Ultraman Arizona 2023 Race Preview
Ultraman Arizona 2023 takes place from March 17 - 19. I have returning to the podcast, race director, Jen McVeay, and the 515 announcer extraordinaire, Steve King to preview the athletes competing in this year's race.
It is a smaller field with just 3 women and 19 men, but some great athletes will be vying to set the official race records in their respective age groups and overall, as last year’s race (the inaugural) had to cancel the swim due to poor water conditions.
Join us as we discuss the resumes of these Ultra athletes so you know who to follow through the race socials for updates.
