My Story: Joni Van der Veen

Joni Van der Veen is a highly accomplished triathlete who has had the pleasure of watching her son follow in her footsteps. But the fact that Van der Veen lived to see her son grow up is a story in of itself. As a young mother, she was involved in a horrific skiing accident that nearly ended her life. Today on Endurance Planet, a My Story edition done in conjunction with USA Triathlon, we hear Van der Veen’s amazing story of determination and perseverance. Today’s Endurance Planet is sponsored by The Right Stuff.

The Endurance Planet Hour

This week’s Endurance Planet Hour is a “best of” edition that focuses on what it takes…what it takes to win, what it takes to survive, and what it takes to emerge from trying situations with your character intact. We’ll hear first from three world champions—previous guests on endurance planet. Ironman champion Peter Reid, 70.3 Champion Joanna Zeiger, and Badwater ultra marathon champion Jamie Donaldson. We’ll also hear an extended short story called “The Winning Bug” written by Jackson Scholz which is a fictional account of a young man who want to win too badly.

The Endurance Planet Hour

This week’s Endurance Planet Hour focuses on 3 individuals in the sport of triathlon who are facing significant challenges of different types. Six-time Ironman World Champion Dave Scott speaks with us about his long road to recovery following his bicycle wreck with an SUV. We also speak with age-group triathlete Matt Hoover who is determined to become an Ironman. If Hoover’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he rose to the challenge on season two of The Biggest Loser and won the reality show’s grand prize. And finally, we talk about the challenges that Olympic triathlete Matty Reed has faced since he publicly announced his decision to get cycling help from banned cyclist Tyler Hamilton (a decision he has since reversed.)
