The Week in Multisport

Imagine this: a professional athlete who has secured a win, stops and waits 5 minutes before crossing the finish line to ensure that her competitors finish close enough to earn their paycheck (per Ironman rules.) You don’t have to imagine it because it really happened at the Boulder 70.3. In this special Week in Multisport edition with Barry Siff of Daily Triathlon, we get Siff’s insights on the matter, as well as the thoughts of professional triathletes Becky Witinok-Huber and Christie Sym.

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 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.)

The Debate Over Matty Reed and Tyler Hamilton

Matty Reed sent out a “tweet” earlier this week that sparked a fierce, online debate. His Twitter post notified the world that he is working on his cycling with Tyler Hamilton. Hamilton is serving an 8-year-ban from cycling after twice testing positive for a banned substance. Today on Endurance Planet, Kelly Reed—Matty’s wife and coach—tackles the criticism and explains their reasoning for working with the controversial cyclist.

My Story: Excelling in Spite of it All

It’s hard to believe that the 22-year-old who recently blazed to a 1.14.39 win at the Bearathon Half-Marathon at Baylor University was—not so long ago—recovering from major abdominal surgery. Now Matt Ison, a cancer survivor from Waco, Texas, is set to compete in the USA Triathlon Collegiate Nationals. Today on Endurance Planet—a My Story edition done in conjunction with USAT—we hear from the tough and determined athlete.

My Story: Dr. John C. Taylor

My Story is an audio profile of an age-group triathlete with an interesting or inspirational story to tell. And Dr. John C. Taylor’s story certainly fits the bill. The Georgia man has been competing in triathlons for 28 years and has no intention of stopping now. What’s even more inspiring is that he didn’t begin doing triathlons until he was 60. Prior to beginning my interview with the active 88-year-old, I asked him, “Do you go by John or Dr. Taylor?” He responded, “Oh, I didn’t get my doctorate until I turned 75…you can call me John.” Today on Endurance Planet we hear from Taylor about his multisport lifestyle.

People have been butchering Matt Chrabot’s last name for years. He’s been called everything from “Shar-bow” to “Crabpot.” But after his win at the Miami International Triathlon, Chrabot (pronounced shär-bòt) will be a recognizable name to professional triathletes everywhere. Today on the Endurance Planet Hour, we talk to the 26-year-old up-and-comer.

A Different Kind of Addiction

After a battle with cancer—beginning at the age of 23—Steve Gaul found comfort “at the bottom of a whiskey bottle.” But then he traded one addiction for another. Today on Endurance Planet, the Canadian ultrarunner tells us about how his outlook has changed since he became addicted running.

My Story: The Amazing Jody Kelly

You may know her as Jody Kelly from the Amazing Race. Others know her as Jody Kelly the local triathlete. But neither description would have fit just four years ago. That’s when the 72-year-old from Texas made a commitment to herself to get off the couch and get in shape. And she’s done it with style. Today on Endurance Planet, we hear from Jody Kelly about the amazing changes she’s made in her life.

Ironman Legend Mark Allen—2-3-2010

There is perhaps no bigger name in the sport of triathlon than our guest today. He went to Kona six years in a row hoping to win the Ironman Triathlon World Championship— and each time he came up empty handed. Then in 1989— in an epic battle with Dave Scott—he emerged victorious. From there, he would go on to win six world championships. He also dominated at the Olympic distance, winning the inaugural world championships…and putting together an undefeated streak of ten at the Nice International Championships. During a period of racing between 1988 and 1990 he entered 20 races and won them all.

I’m talking of course about Mark Allen who will be speaking at the 2010 USA Triathlon Art & Science of Triathlon International Coaching Symposium February 12th through the 14th in Colorado Springs.
